From The Journal of Newcastie-
upon-Tyne, November 8 edition, we
lcarn how: "Mysterious flying objects
have been seen shooting across the
sky over Jarrow. A schoolboy and his
parents said last night they had
spotted several of thern circling low
over the town.
"Thcy made a roaring noise and
looked like silver triangles,' said
13-year-old Joseph Hyde, of Albert
Road. The were not aeroplanes,
because some of my riends tele-
phoned Newcastle airport and were
told that no civil aircraft.were in the
area at the time.'
"Some time ago several residents of
Inverness Road, Jarrow, reported
secing a strange object like a fireball
in the sky. The object, which they
christened 'The Thing', was seen on
eight occasions. Mothers complained
at the time that some of their children
had been severely frightened by it.
"Mrs. Maureen Hyde, Joseph's
mother said: 'We didn't believe him
when he came rushing into the house
shouting he had seen something like a
flying saucer. We went out to have a
look and were amazed to see these
silver things darting about the sky.
" 'My husband, who used to be in
the Fleet Air Arm, was convinced
they were not aeroplanes.'"

"While he and his wife were walk-

day they saw an object, which had a
white centre surrounded by a glow-

hovered a while then turned and
cork-screwed at a terrific pace up-

Mr. Cooper said the blue ring was
of a phosphorous nature and urdike

firmly of the opinion that the object
could not have been a firework or
anything normal."

light of a definite shape. This was
going at a high speed, but was flying
quite low so that it could clearly be
seen. Because of its velocitv it
vanished in a few seconcis. but I was
able to get a good glimpse. It mace
no noise, so it could not have been an
aircraft, and neither could it have
been a star, as the sky was cloudy. I
would like to enquire whether anyone
else has observed this phenomenon, or
whether it has been seen before.--

The Leicester Mercury of November 6
tells of: "A mysterious object was seen
last night in the sky at Humberstone.
Mr. Geoffrey Penfoid, 10 The Drive,

10.15 and 10.30 p.m.
"'I was visiting a customer in
Hungarton Boulevard and while
waiting on the doorstep happened to
look up at the sky. My auditor was
with me and we both saw, moving
quite slowly across the sky, a large
cylindrical object showing a faint
luminosity.
"'It was definitely not a firework.
Nor did it seem to be a meteor or a
comet! It's hard to be objective in
these circumstances. I can only say
that I saw it-in fact we both did.'
