WEATHER CONDITIONS: Good. Cool temperatures at around 0 degrees C. Slight breeze off the water. Water rippling, but no waves. Visibility good at around 25 miles.

SET UP AT RESEARCH SITE: 20.15 hrs. D.S.T

20.42 h. We are seeing our third orange object far away on the horizon, and somewhat above, between 5 and 10 degrees. Our videographer has gone off up the street to check out a movie that is being made. Therefore, we haven't got started on any filming yet.

20.47 h. Our fourth object has been just sitting still for around 6 minutes, and is at approximately 5 degrees above the horizon.

These are all over the land tonight....Not over the water.

(NOTE: THE LIGHT PILLAR IS NOT VISIBLE TONIGHT. It WAS visible last night.)

20.49 h. Bright orange object appearing, and I would really like to get filming!!! This object seems to have changed in appearance. It now seems more like a "jewel." Very clear with the naked eye. He's just hanging around.....just cruising.

The orange chap that is now a jewel is still around, and we are trying to use the video, having got very frustrated with the camera for the last 12 minutes. However, I don't think that we will be able to pick this up. We have to get him closer. He is very deep in colour now. Reddish-orange. He's going down very low.

J: "Just keep on filming. Keep at it as you have nothing to lose."

I am NOT getting that as a plane. I am getting that definitely....is the viewfinder showing anything?

21.13 h. Something has just come in with 3 lights on the front. Appeared and disappeared immediately.

There is something over there. I don't know what we are seeing here. It is to the left of those white flashing masts. It keeps getting terribly bright. I mean, some plane to be circling so long. There's no reason to be circling. There are no planes landing, so why would it be circling? Time is 21.15 h. Brilliantly bright now and shining a light down on the water.

Same characterisics as the "jewel" of Wednesday, April 9th. It's been going for ages, this one. Can D see this? (D is way along the shore eastwards of us, and on the cellular phone.) Can he tell if this is a plane? IS IT A PLANE?

This object is casting a very strong reflection on the water. Probably a plane.

21.17 h. There are now two of these objects, and they are right where an airfield is, so I have no idea. He has just turned...D has seen two of our "normal" objects from his location. These two objects over the airfield area are.....Good grief....what is going on here? They are circling around each other! They are just going round and round, aren't they? I mean, they could be planes. I'm not going to discount that. Maybe our chaps have changed location tonight for all our friends in the city.

21.22 h. We have a "jewel" very, very close. Much closer than last night. I don't think that it's a plane. It is very, very bright and he is doing just what he did last night. Very much lower than last night, though. Street lamp behind us is out, which really helps our vision. He is getting really close, doing the same thing, and just watching us, I think!!

There are no planes, boats, dogs, geese, joggers, cars...anything. Just the ripples on the lake. The object is not moving, so he is very easy to film. Everything is so peaceful. Just this beautiful light suspended, yet again, over the water. He is now moving ever so slightly east. J, is this filming? At this point, J moves his video camera to centre the light in the viewfinder again. Thus, on that first part of the video, with the camera on the tripod, there is absolutely no movement. All one can see is a gentle scintillation as the lights sits there, very still. So, on the video,we see it sitting absolutely still for a very long time (will check video for duration.) Then we can see it move very slowly out of the camera's view, until J moves the camera again.

Object has started to move a little more quickly, very similar to last night (April 9th). He is describing a semi-circle about us again. Hopefully, this is on video. I am now going to the high-power binoculars, to give a better description.

It's a plane....... NO FLASHERS!! It's running orange lights! No planes run orange lights. It's running orange lights...no way....no navigational lights on it at all. I want to keep with this one, okay? There is something flashing on top. It's flying high now....it's gone through the trees...same trajectory as last night. I can't see it now. There is a HUGE white light shining back down towards us from the back of the object. Finally flew off as did the object last night!

NOTE: During the suspension period, when the object was hovering close to above us, D's cellular phone started to crackle and squeal. After the object had passed, the phone returned to normal.

Early retreat, as the camera had to be returned to the local college.
