MORE WITNESSES SAW LIGHTS IN THE SKY
|
|
|
|
The Herne Bay UFO mystery deepened this week when another witness told of
|
|
seeing the strange lights in the sky. Herne resident Mr. Clive Darby said: "My
|
|
wife and I saw them coming straight towards our home in Mill Lane.
|
|
"We thought they were the landing lights of an aircraft, but when we read in
|
|
last week's Herne Bay Times that they had been seen in Beltinge, we began to
|
|
wonder."
|
|
|
|
Mr. Darby was sitting watching television when he first noticed the lights.
|
|
"Our home is right on top of the hill and faces Manston, but I wouldn't say we
|
|
are on the airfield flight path. As I sat watching television I suddenly noticed
|
|
two beams of light travelling parallel with the Thanet Way and coming from the
|
|
direction of Manston," he said.
|
|
|
|
"They were very intense and appeared to be coming from some sort of
|
|
aircraft about 200ft. above the ground. If it was an aircraft, however, there
|
|
were no flashing lights on the wing-tips.
|
|
|
|
"The lights were coming straight towards the front of the house and I don't
|
|
mind admitting that I was concerned. I thought an aircraft might be in trouble
|
|
and looking for somewhere to put down." Mr. Darby said he opened the window and
|
|
was immediately aware that there was no noise.
|
|
|
|
"Aircraft normally throttle right back when they come in to land, but you
|
|
can still hear the engines and the rush if air over their wings," he said. "But
|
|
in this case there was absolute silence and I couldn't see any silhouette.
|
|
|
|
"The beams of light were shining straight towards the ground and getting
|
|
nearer all the time, so I called my wife and we rushed into the back garden to
|
|
try to get a better view.
|
|
|
|
"But this is the odd thing. Although we stood looking for some minutes,
|
|
nothing happened. There were no lights and no sign of anything in the sky.
|
|
Whatever it was had completely disappeared. "I know it wasen't a helicopter and
|
|
if it was a conventional aircraft it must have been big, because the beams were
|
|
quite a long way apart."
|
|
|
|
Mr. Darby admitted that the experience had left him and his wife feeling
|
|
"strange" and said he had come to the conclusion that it had been some sort of
|
|
aircraft. But he added: "Having read the Herne Bay Times report, we're beginning
|
|
to wonder and we wouldn't be a bit suprised if other people saw these lights as
|
|
well but are worried about being branded as nuts."
