Report submitted by Tuesday Evening 6:40. 6.2000. 24 Aug. 67 a rough idea of height & speed of this craft have would say without hesitation that when I first sighted this object it must have been travelling beyond the speed of sound & accelerated to about 3 or 4 times that speed disappearing. I am now of conclusion no sharks or train was left. Visibility was excellent this night then being absolutely no mist, cloud or fog. of Observed lights object of unknown shape & size approaching from the East, which, as it came in a direct line in front of, & about 000 ft. above me, suddenly accelerated to a terrific speed, (equal to that of a falling star), except that it gained height gradually. At the point of acceleration, an orange flame shot out from behind & continued until the object attained a certain speed, & then went out, leaving the object without heat, been out of the line of vision. There was no noise whatsoever obs if was dark I have only of it. P.S. As far as I could tell there were three lights on this object when first sighted, one at the rear & two others around & in front of it. R. D. Bywaters. 26th August 1957
