MEMBERS PRESENT: J.J. , D.M. WEATHER CONDITIONS: Good. Cool temperatures at around +2 degrees C. Slight breeze off the water. Water rippling, but no waves. Visibility seems good along the shore, but nothing visible on the far shore towards the St. Catherine's area. HOWEVER !!!! The LIGHT PILLAR is back tonight. I haven't seen it since March 23rd. SET UP AT RESEARCH SITE: 20.15 hrs. D.S.T. 20.27 h. We are looking at the LIGHT PILLAR. We don't know what it is. It could be a jetty light. It reflects in the water, and seems to gently rotate or pulsate. Hard to tell. I am estimating a distance from us of 6 miles, at a compass bearing of 25 degrees East of Southeast. Brilliant golden yellow "something" reflecting on the water. 20.59 h. We've got an orange light appearing in the western part of the light area over St. Catherine's, and hopefully it will approach the LIGHT PILLAR and help to prove a theory upon which I am working. This object is approaching at about 8 to 10 degrees above the horizon. It is enormous! Very visible with the naked eye. It is to the left of the two red flashing markers . It has red on it, it is pulsating, and there is something to its right. I just see a very bright light that will, hopefully, come closer. It is stationary, seems to have red lights, pulsating. He is actually over the water. There is a beam of light over the water. D: "My Goodness....look at how big he is.....Oh my.......he is going lower to the water, and now merging with the water. He is going down into the water, My Lord!!!!! Time: 21.02. He was big. As he got closer to the water he got bigger and he was shining an orange light down on to the water, and, as he got closer, the light was bouncing off from the water up to him, and they almost merged until he submerged. Oh!!!!! 21.17 h. Orange object appears coming from the same location as the last one. Moved in an easterly direction at around 5 degrees above the horizon. Rapidly disappeared. 21.41 h. Further over to the west there is faint orange object at around 10 degrees above the horizon. Could it be hazy, or is this one much farther away? Less orange but definitely pulsating. I really don't think that it is hazy, and we can't see ANY of the lights on the St.Catherine's side. Object is changing to a more orange colour. Directly above the object we can see a conventional plane. The object is losing altitude and getting brighter. Could be farther away. I get the impression of a flash occurring on one side of this object. A light beam appears below the object, and he is now hovering above the water. Time is 21.45........that took nearly 4 minutes from appearance to submersion. 21.58 h. We have a plane here. This isn't a commercial flight. It is heading east, and circling around. This is a very strange plane. Now going in westerly direction. Clearly marked with xenon flashing lights. This could be a scenic flight, but at 10 o'clock at night, probably not. It is circling around the area where the orange object put down its beam and submerged. This plane is zigzagging around all over the place. We don't think that it is a helicopter because there is no noise that we can hear. It looks a bit like a search plane. The LIGHT PILLAR had completely DISAPPEARED during all this plane activity. The LIGHT PILLAR has returned. Question: Is the "LIGHT PILLAR" a control tower at a nearby airfield? Sure!!!!!! Would you just explain what I am seeing through this? Get your eyes through here and tell me what we are seeing here!!!!! It's the LIGHT PILLAR. I have to talk about the LIGHT PILLAR. It is like a light hanging in mid-air, and there is a beam coming down from it. There is a reproduction of that light source on the water. It gives the appearance of a gentle rotation. D. has just noticed a plane, which could be our search plane, zipping around all over the place. This plane is moving at a rapid pace. We removed our equipment into the dark shadow of a large tree, so that we were not silhouetted against the street lamp. When the plane had moved away from our area, we packed up and left the site. JJ
