UNUSUA L SIGHTI NG REPORT

1. Your letter, enclosing the repor t fro m Mis s Lesley Ro urke concerning lights sighted in the Providence Hil l eree, is acknowledged wi t h thanks.

2 , A p r elimina ry investigation of likely sources has been carried out. Th ere we re no known civil or milita ry aircraft operations being conducted in that area at t he time. Se v eral satellites or portions of sp en t satellites were in the general area over those times . How e ver, only one or two of tre s e could possibili ty have been observed as desc ribed and then only un de r conditions of heavy l ight refraction. This is thought unlikely. So me o t he r possible so u rces were also exami n ed but without euccess.

3. Your repor t together with our findings ha s now b e en pas s ed to other agenci e s. Even though th e s au ce of thi s pa rticular sighting may ne v e r be e sta bli shed, reports such as this do add to o ur knowledge of the area and help e ventually to establish pat t erns of activi ty. Plea s e be assured that these reports are mu c h ap p reciated and fully utilised,

Lights Seen Over Providence Hill on 13th and 14th November, 1976 :

On Saturday night , 13th November , I Has c arnping at Providence Hill, in

the vicinity of Pearce ~oint, with the Cumaiyi family and Kim and S-tephen

Cartl-Iright - 10 people in all.

At approximately 8 . 30 - 9 . 00 p.m. a vrhite light crossed overhead travelling

in a southerl y direction . It appeared t o be too high and too fast to be a

plane . It ' s movement Nas not that of a satellite either , as it veered around

to a south- easterly direction before disappearing .

The followi ng night , about the s~e time , 'Ulother l i ght appeared. It \'fas

much brighter and appeared to be at a lmrer altitude . lr!ithin the next half

l:lour ther e vrere four other \-Thite lights, travelling in varyine directions

and of different degrees of brightness - one so faint it \·ras barely visibl e .
