SET UP AT SITE: 20.30 hrs. D.S.T.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Good. Cool temperatures at around 2 degrees C. with a gentle breeze off the water. No waves on water. Visibility very good, no haze or fog anywhere. All horizon lights clearly visible. Some stars and Hale-Bopp Comet seen between clouds passing over.

20.43 h. First brilliant orange light appears at about 8 degrees above the horizon from the semi-dark area to the east of St. Catherine's. Very clearly seen with naked eye. Remains stationary and pulsating. This object has appeared within two minutes of our normal activity starting time (TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE TIME CHANGE). Object disappears. Duration of sighting was 2 minutes.

20.46 h. Bright orange object appears from same location as above. Stationary, and then moves in westerly direction at approx. 8 degrees above the horizon.

20.47 h. TWO brilliant orange objects appear very close together but separated, apparently at ground level or just above. These are much brighter than the previous objects. No movement, just pulsating together. Appear from same direction, but at different elevation. Disappear very quickly.

20.48 h. Orange object, not as bright as previously, appears from same location and travels slowly west at approx. 5 degrees above horizon. No change in colour or light intensity as it moves. Gets lower to horizon and disappears at 20.49 in the vicinity of a red flashing beacon of some sort.

20.53 h. Orange object at about 5 degrees above horizon appearing from same location. This one gives the impression of "flashing." The flashing seems to be on the RIGHT side from our position, and maybe on the leading edge of the object, as it is travelling west. The flashing gives the impression of almost glittering. Not visible with the naked eye, and just visible with conventional binoculars.

Activity became non-existent, and we started to pack up our gear around 21.30. There was a brief sighting of a similar object, very faintly visible, and that was the last seen during our site time.
