The phenomenon was seen by a barbecue party in North Devon. Mr. John Garnsey, a local magistrate, said: "It was most weird. I thought it might be a plane, but it made no noise. We watched it for over 10 minutes drifting across the sky. "It seemed to discharge a rocket from it then disappeared across the horizon." Seventeen witnesses at the party watched the UFO - and Mr. Garnsey insisted: "We hadn't been drinking!" His wife Jennifer said: "It was traveling slowly across the sky. All of a sudden another bright light like a rocket flashed from it. "It was completely silent. We thought it might be an aircraft or a helicopter, but we couldn't hear an engine." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report #: 12 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-10-1986 Location: SCUNTHORPE, ENGLAND CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 2 SEPTEMBER 1986 TIME: JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT CFN#: 12 DURATION: 10: MINUTES WITNESSES: MANY SOURCE: EVENING TELEGRAPH, SCUNTHORPE, ENGLAND -------------------------------------------------- The British UFO Research Association is to investigate the sighting last night of a motionless flashing object in Scunthorpe's northern skies. It was spotted just after midnight at about 15 degrees above the horizon. Observers in Messingham said it was flashing approximately once every second and remained in the same place for around 10 minutes before slowly moving off to the east. Today, the national secretary of BUFORA, Mr. Les Sallis, based in Hull, said he would investigate the sighting. Checks with other organizations, such as the RAF, might reveal the cause of the flashing light, but it was too early to say. A sighting over Winterton two months ago turned out to be a weather balloon. Anyone in the area who spotted the mysterious flashing light should contact the Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph on 843421. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report #: 13 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-10-1986 Location: RHYL, ENGLAND CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 02 OCTOBER 1986 TIME: UNKNOWN CFN#: 13 DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: MANY SOURCE: RHYL & PRESTATYN VISITOR, RHYL, ENGLAND --------------------------------------------------- Sightings of a mysterious glowing object has left people in Rhyl wondering if they have seen a UFO. Mr. James Perry, of 32 Princes Road, Rhyl, saw a large rectangular object, with flashing lights, which moved slowly across the sky on Thursday evening and other people in the area have reported similar sightings. "It was traveling very slowly in a straight line," he said. "There were lights that looked like windows, but it wasn't like a plane. There was no sound or hazard lights like you would see on a plane." Mr. Perry watched the plane from another window and the lights change and started flashing. "They looked like disco lights," he added. "I have always been rather sceptical about UFO's, but I have no idea what this could be," he said. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report #: 14 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-10-1986 Location: CRABEN, ENGLAND CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 04 SEPTEMBER 1986 TIME: 0735 HOURS CFN#: 14 DURATION: 02: SECONDS WITNESSES: ONE SOURCE: HERALD & PIONEER, CRABEN, ENGLAND --------------------------------------------- Fourteen-year-old Kingsley Wiggin claims to have sighted an unidentified flying object hovering over Skipton's Rockwood estate earlier this month. Kingsley, who lives in the town's West Bank Road, says he was on his morning newspaper round, when he saw an object which glowed very brightly: "about two seconds rather like a very bright star." He says the shape of the object was unclear, but he is sure that it was not an aeroplane: "or anything else I could think of." Kingsley saw the object at about 7:35 a.m. on September 4, but when he later returned with his father, the object had disappeared. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report #: 15 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-10-1986 Location: DAVENTRY, ENGLAND CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 08 OCTOBER 1986 TIME: UKNOWN CFN#: 15 DURATION: 20: MINUTES WITNESSES: SIX SOURCE: WEEKLY EXPRESS, DAVENTRY, ENGLAND --------------------------------------------- A village near Daventry has been singled out by six eye witnesses as the focal point for the town's extraordinary UFO mystery. They all claim to have seen unexplained objects heading towards Preston Capes - or hovering over the village itself. The mystery began a fortnight ago when two fishermen saw six UFOs early one morning over the Daventry County Park. The objects disappeared in the direction of Preston Capes. A week later, company director Pauline Dunn and husand Stanley claim they saw brilliant lights in the sky from their Staverton home. Again, the objects were going towards Preston Capes. This week, retired couple Daphne and Edward Underhill say they saw what appeared to be a huge, glowing UFO in the sky in the area of Preston Capes. They believe it could have been a spaceship. "We were getting ready to go to bed when my husband called me over to look out of the bedroom window," says Mrs. Underhill, of Central Avenue, Woodford Halse. "We saw a great big object in the sky which had an orange or red look about it. It was fairly high and we stood there for about 20 minutes looking at it," she adds. "Part of it broke off from the rest and went across the sky in the direction of Preston Capes. It was circular, but the part which came away was jagged," adds Mrs. Underhill. She says it was definitely not an aeroplane because it was moving too fast. she says it disappeared for a while but returned several minutes later. "I have no idea what it was. People say about these things, but if you talk about them, they think you are queer," adds Mrs. Underhill. "My husband didn't believe in UFOs until he saw this and was absolutely astonished. It makes you think - seeing is believing. "If anybody else had told me they'd seen something, I wouldn't have believe them. But when you have seen it yourself, it makes you realize," adds Mrs. Underhill, who says her sighting was around the same time as that of the fisherman. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
