MEMBERS PRESENT: J.J. D.M. AND D.M. WEATHER CONDITIONS: Good. Cool temperatures at around +2 degrees C. Slight breeze off the water. Water rippling, but no waves. Visibility good at around 25 miles.

SET UP AT RESEARCH SITE: 20.20 HRS. D.S.T. Still slightly light. The LIGHT PILLAR is here again tonight. (Please refer to Reports dated 22-29 March, April 3rd and 8th.) It seems to be glowing as usual. 20.22 h. Object that looks like a plane. It is very bright. It is coming in towards us right over the LIGHT PILLAR and seemingly stops. It turns, so this is probably a plane. 20.23 h. A bright orange object appears at 5 degrees above the horizon and is going down to the water to the right of the LIGHT PILLAR. It hovered for a moment and has gone into the lake. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD FOUND ANOTHER LIGHT PILLAR. However, it would seem that another orange object had come in, out of my field of vision, whilst I was reporting the previous event, changed to a lighter yellow colour, and slipped into the water to the east of the LIGHT PILLAR. As this submersion was occurring, it seemed as if there were TWO LIGHT PILLARS - TWINS !! NOTE: WHEN THE ORANGE OBJECTS GO INTO THE WATER, THEY CHANGE FROM ORANGE TO A MORE GOLDEN YELLOW COLOUR, AND DUPLICATE THE APPEARANCE OF THE LIGHT PILLAR. COMMENT: Quote from D.M. "It shone its beam and then submerged, but this all happened very, very quickly." What we have noticed is that, when the orange objects arrive, they go towards the LIGHT PILLAR. Then, when they are approaching the water's surface, near the LIGHT PILLAR, a large, golden-yellow beam of light,exactly the same colour as the object, is seemingly switched on at the bottom of the object. It looks like a golden searchlight. Then the object descends and goes into the water. (NOTE: A car has pulled up behind us on the road.) 20.31 h. A brilliant light source, similar to a plane, has just appeared above a conventional plane. It is pulsating but it is NOT orange. However, it is now very low, well below where we are seeing the conventional aircraft. We CAN see two aircraft also. Due, possibly, to the atmospheric effect, it is giving the appearance of being multi-coloured. It seems to have flashing red and white lights, but is going VERY much lower than the planes. He could be going away from us. UNKNOWN. 20.34 h. This UNKNOWN is getting lower and is at 5 degrees above the horizon, and deep orange in colour. Still appears to have a red flashing light. UNKNOWN still. I don't think that it is an aircraft. VERY DEEP ORANGE. Absolutely NO WAY is that an aircraft! The LIGHT PILLAR suddenly appears to be brightening. 20.38 h. A golden-yellow object has just duplicated the appearance of the LIGHT PILLAR, shone its huge beam downwards, descended into the water, and disappeared. I never saw this one appear because I was concentrating on the previous event. ANOMALY!!! The object from the above event has re-surfaced, and then gone into the water again slightly closer to the LIGHT PILLAR. (COMMENT: Quote from J: "I wonder if he was using this LIGHT PILLAR as a target and he "wasn't quite locked on?") (COMMENT: Quote from D.M. "The first one that I saw, when I said that it amost merged with the light from the bottom, looked like it gave off a beam. It almost looked like the bottom beam came up, the other one came down, and they merged together above the water, unlike last night, when I saw it submerge. The second one did the exact same thing. It's almost like a beam came up and caught it.") J: "Then please explain to me what we are seeing through the binoculars. It is not moving and has been there for a long time." D.M: "I think it's a beacon. I think it's to TELL THEM TO COME HOME.") 20.49 h. An apparently conventional aircraft has appeared and is following the same pattern as before, and approaching the LIGHT PILLAR. He is now above the LIGHT PILLAR. There is something over to the left, and slightly higher. Could be a plane. The first one is at 5 degrees above the horizon and the one to the east is at 8 degrees above the horizon. They look the same, and are coming in at the same shallow angle. They don't look like planes. They seem a deeper colour than planes. The one close to the LIGHT PILLAR is now at 5 degrees above the horizon, and it is getting very, very bright like a "jewel" and moving in a slightly westerly direction. Going back to 8 degrees above the horizon is another "jewel," not looking anything like a plane, following in on the previous one's tail. Now, the one close to the LIGHT PILLAR isvisibly brightening. I am getting a real sense that this thing is coming in to land as a plane would come in to an airport. It is very, very beautiful. This is an extremely amazing experience! He's brilliant golden and very close to the LIGHT PILLAR. They are definitely using is as a navigational marker. He's at around 3 degrees above the horizon and slightly west of the LIGHT PILLAR. Very close to the LIGHT PILLAR now, both vertically and horizontally. He is actually "homing in" on this pillar. He is totally visible to the naked eye. He is SO BRIGHT! The beam, now, is hitting the water. It is like a spotlight. He seems to be searching for the right place to submerge, looking identical above and on the water. He is now LOOKING like the LIGHT PILLAR, like a TWIN almost. Lowering towards the water, and very, very bright. He's simulating the appearance of the LIGHT PILLAR. However, just above the surface of the water. Down, down....dulls down in light intensity...dimmer...virtually nothing at all....two lights merge (object and reflection)...almost down, and now smaller than the LIGHT PILLAR. He has gone into the water at 20.53. We now have another one going into the water. We are getting very confused because it is happening endlessly. They are running at about 2 minute intervals, and all following the same flight path. Just like planes at and airport. 20.56 h. Object at around 8 degrees above horizon. Jewel-like appearance to this one. We notice tonight that most of the objects look totally different from normal. They are coming in looking almost like conventional aircraft. (NOTE: We appear to have a security problem here. It can't be VERY serious, because if it WERE serious, the guy would have gone and done something about it. I think that is is just curiosity. He hasn't moved, and has been in his car for a long time. D.M. has told him that we are watching the planes landing.) Far left of the LIGHT PILLAR, another jewel-like object is bumbling along. The effect is of something that could be rotating gently as it travels along. We are waiting for this object, so, here is my theory (to use up time). The LIGHT PILLAR is a central spot of an area here there are several locations down through which these objects can access the lake. It is not just ONE spot that we are seeing them go down. Our object is getting closer, and, through the high-power binoculars, gives the appearance of a triangular jewel of many colours. Pretty! He is SO BRIGHT! He is hovering and getting VERY BRIGHT. Getting close to the water at around 2 degrees above the horizon. He is pulsating. 20.58 h. Here's the beam, now, coming down and hitting the water. This is a very beautiful experience. There is rotation, because the beam is rotating as well. D.M. is now watching the "next" one while I am watching the other one submerge. This is so beautiful. The beam comes down and there is a huge golden circular patch of light on the water's surface. He now looks like the LIGHT PILLAR. Everything merges, and in he goes. I can see the ripples on the water over him as he is underneath. It is now 21.00. 21.06 h. Another object appears at 8 degrees above horizon, slightly to the east of the LIGHT PILLAR. Another object, already very close to the water, has caught my attention. (Got distracted by the problem behind us.) Much wider in appearance, but very low and pulsating. He's much farther away and submerging. The other object is to his right and is just going over a flashing marker. One is submerging. I'm trying to watch two separate events here. Much paler colour in this instance. 21.07 h. Object approaching from the west. Previous one has passed the flashing marker and seems to be making for the LIGHT PILLAR. Now, he is approaching the LIGHT PILLAR, bumbling along. The object is coming towards the LIGHT PILLAR, but now a huge sort of cloud thing is to the left of the F L A S H I N G LIGHT PILLAR!!! and it is SO LONG!! We have three things happening here! We've got an object coming in, wee a cloud in between, and a FLASHING LIGHT PILLAR which appears to be rotating. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS! The other object is still bumbling along. He is deep orange in colour, and very low in altitude. He is going over to the LIGHT PILLAR. He is not very bright. Now look to the left of him, if you can, and something else is there. Very deep orange, about 2 degrees above the horizon. Pulsating. This one is now submerging...reflecting on the water..... 21.11 h. Panning back to the other object....doing the same thing...the beam is shining down and he has submerged. My fingers are numb with the cold!! Holding binoculars and taping!!! Do I HAVE fingers??/P> Towards the east. Bright object appeared and immediately disappeared. 21.12 h. Another object, much farther away, has appeared. Very big and bright object. There are many events in progress. Submersion in progress. (I am so glad that those people have gone from behind us!) (My fingers holding the tape recorder are SO COLD, but we can't even take a moment's rest tonight.) What a session! The beam is coming down (they say, casually!). Submerged at 21.15. 21.19 h. Double object....two lights coming in close together, side-by-side. Immediately disappeared. Different! They looked like orange headlights. 21.23 h. Object coming in to the left of the flashing marker at about 4 degrees above the horizon, and brightening up. Seems like it has headlights, but orange in colour. 5 or 6 lights across in a line. (I can a hear a small plane above us.) The object has turned and I see strobes, so it could have been a conventional craft. It has turned on its side and gives the impression of a low-flying aircraft doing some interesting aerobatics! Object travelling in easterly direction, flashing, with beam shining from the bottom. Low to the horizon. All of a sudden, he stops and changes direction to the west, REALLY fast. 21.28 h. (Here is J struggling away): Object at 5 degrees above the horizon. To my view there are 3 lights, but there could be more. They are in a line. This thing is moving FAST and at a slight angle, not horizontally. Slightly descending. Multiple lights, and they seem to be "sequencing." I am wondering whether it is sequencing AROUND a structure, or sequencing ACROSS the front end of a structure. I am not sure. There are virtually NO conventional aircraft around right now. No boats. Very quiet. This object is not very bright, but I now see the beam, and he is getting very much closer. I am not seeing separate lights now, but a large pulsating mass. I am now picking up on the very bright beam, but the object is at the same light intensity as before. He is reflecting perfectly on the water. I am not getting a sense of many, many lights. Definite sense of pulsation. This guy came in at an incredible rate of speed. Very little fluctuation in luminosity. Now coming down to water's surface, producing the double image. Almost like the LIGHT PILLAR, and then he goes straight into the water at 21.30 (Goodness, this is exhausting!) So, from first seeing the object up to final submersion, is approximately 2 minutes on average. They are coming in just like planes on some kind of schedule. There is another bright jewel-like object approaching from the right (west). What I am looking at through the high-power binoculars is almost like a star. It gives that appearance because of the scintillation. There is also a plane, and that is TOTALLY different! Very bright, white and linear in its movement. Now, our jewel-like object is pulsating and bumbling along....he has come in at around 25 degrees above the horizon. This is VERY unusual. It is 21.32 h. It appears to comprise multiple colours, but that could be an atmospheric effect. D. is getting tired. So, we will "do" two more, and then go home! (No, I'm not, she says!) The object is still bumbling along in our direction. We will assume "conventional" but I don't think so. There are NO flashing wing lights at all. Another object has appeared lower on the horizon, and this is really confusing my life. Now, there is another one. I'll try and watch these two. OH MY GOODNESS, THIS IS HUGE!!! Multiple lights....FIVE lights....no...FOUR....in a row. Pulsating. It is banking and turning. It comes around and this is SO COOL!! Now I have to go back to my jewelly fellow...this is ridiculous trying to keep them all in view at once. "Where have you all gone?" I am going back to the "jewel." This still does not give me the impression of an ordinary plane. D. has noted that our "flying jewel" is getting really, really close to us. (D says that she is feeling "sick to her stomach") J: "If it bothers you, go the the "safe spot" okay? Come on, if you want to go to the cars. D is having a problem here, so maybe a good idea for us to retreat. Stay by the cars? We've agreed to stick with this one. This could be the breakthrough......Can I look through here (binoculars) because I am going to have a heart attack quite probably, in a minute!!!!" D: "He's different...much more orange." (Referring to distant object on horizon.) Conventional planes do NOT have this look. Yes, we are getting a clear but gentle reflection on the water now. I hope that this tape is still working, because I think that we are at sort-or-critical here. I think that we may have a very close approach coming up now, IF THIS IS AN UNKNOWN. The colours are scintillating, and it is NOTHING like an aircraft. I have to switch off so as not to waste tape. Another object has appeared on the horizon, but at a much greater distance. D is going to attempt to photograph our "jewelly triangle." (Comment to D: It is adrenaline...you can't help this....you can't help the feeling." D: "No, no, it just came over me. Don't worry about it.") J: "If you really want to go to the car, then you can." (The cars are 20 feet behind us.) We have to be VERY quiet, okay? This object is very, very close. We have a beautiful reflection on the water. This object is now close and at an elevation of approximately 50 degrees. I am looking through the high-power binoculars and he is really large. It is coming in incredibly close. Multiple lights, and it seems to be gently rotating. Brilliant colours. This is an absolute BLINDER!!! D...if you don't look through the binoculars, you'll miss it. I'm having heart failure. This is just totally amazing! Okay....this "craft" or structure, or whatever it is, is circling us. This must have lasted about 3 or so minutes. A soft, silvery reflection was cast upon the water, and the word I have to use is "SUSPENDED." It was suspended over the water, just sitting there.) It is gradually circling us...but maintaining the same distance from us, and VERY slowly moving in an easterly direction. It is staying at the same luminosity and casting that gentle reflection on the water. There has been total silence now for about 5 minutes. No planes, boats, dogs, geese, people....TOTAL SILENCE. That object stopped for a very long time...It then moved a bit, and sat still again. There is NO WAY that a plane could physically do that. However, we have to check this out because if is felt by one team member that it is a "conventional." I hear no sound. This is not a normal event. Also, if its headlights are shining that way (west)...D....D....Planes have headlights at the FRONT, not at the SIDE!!!! I am not getting any sound on this one at all. We're keeping an open mind here, though. It COULD be "conventional." No problem. It could be a helicopter. You can HEAR something? It could be a "conventional" doing a search. That's the thing that I am thinking. It is certainly circling, and is showing a very odd configuration now. What I find strange is that the headlights are on the side (west). That's my problem with this one. Okay, the headlights are on the side. There's NO WAY!!! Okay, we had a very long session there and this thing hovered for a very long time. We are now comparing it with all the "conventional" aircraft which have suddenly appeared. It is very busy around here all of a sudden. These aircraft move quite fast, and have two very clear and bright headlights on the FRONT of them. These are also showing xenon strobes on the wingtips. D: "We've lost contact with this other guy, but look at this conventional one!!" J: "I know, and D.....D.....if it was as close as that, then we would have heard it. We heard a much higher altitude jet just now, way over there." D: "I admit that it WAS much lower and heading in the direction of the Moon." (Moon is behind us and slightly North at about 50 degrees elevation.) J: "Also, we must note here that it came towards us and then maintained the same distance in a circle.....a semicircle....around us." D: "I don't feel sick to my stomach any more. I did when I saw it and while it was with us. Then it went out of our view, and I don't feel sick to my stomach any more." J: "Do you feel that is is something bad?" D: "I just think it is unknown." J: "Now I want you all to look at the planes that are normal ones." Through the high-power binoculars I could see that the object, on continuing in a North Easterly direction, assumes the appearance of a V-Shape. It had headlights on...okay...it headlights were ludicrous because they were shining BACK from it. Correct? Now, THESE are the "conventionals" and they don't look even slightly like it. There is no comparison. There is something else that just passed over us that doesn't look like a normal plane. We have another event here. 21.50 h. Look at this thing up here! Excuse me.......LOOK AT THE BACK OF THAT PLANE!! DEPARTURE: 22.00 hrs. JJ.
