- I don't know who reported this sighting, but i was involved in
- chasing it up today.( I work on an base which operates C130's. )
-
- The request from a lady who was connected with BUFOS (Might be
- missing a few letters there) contacted the station reference the
- following report that she had received earlier today. (14 Jul 95)
-
- " The person reporting lives in the Bristol area of the Uk. At
- 2350 z on the 17 Jul 95, she was awoken from her bed by a formation
- of three c130's. She watched them flying low level (250' agl) in
- trailing formation heading SW towards the Bristol Channel. Whilst
- still in sight in the distance, a numberof lights appeared in the sky
- behind them. The objects appeared to be parachute shaped, but were
- illumated at top and bottom. They also appeared to be hovering, and
- not moving in any direction. After a few minutes of being stationary,
- the lights grew brighter, and the 'parachutes' climbed vertically out
- of sight. By this time, the formation of C130's were completely out
- of sight. She then returned to bed before reporting the incident in
- the morning. "
-
- I can confirm the existance of the C130's in the area at the time,
- and the type of exercise they were conducting falls into the
- description of what the witness saw. (Obmitted from the above)
-
- If anyone out there can help further with this sighting can they
- contact me directly, as well as posting it on alt.ufo.reports. Or if
- you have anything to do with the organisation who contacted me
- (BUFOS?) , i would like to be able to speak with you again (with out
- the use of the work phone lines)--
