Full Description & Details

It was early evening in November 1977 and I was on picket duty during the Fire Brigade strike of that year.

Myself and a friend were looking at what appeared to be two rather bright stars when one of them flew off and streaked across the sky disapearing close to the horizon. I looked at my friend and exclaimed "did you see that" and he said that he had.

A few years later when we were talking about the experience it turned out that he had seen slightly more than me. He saw the 'star' arriving. He said that at first he thought it was a satelite moving across the sky but then it stopped and it was at this point that I started watching it.

The remaining star was probably just that as it never moved for the duration of the time we were there.

We mentioned it to others but no one had seen it and accused us of 'drinking while on picket duty.' We never really mentioned it much after that and he moved away to another fire station. He then moved to England and we have now lost contact with each other.

Witness Background

I was a Firefighter for 24 years. On my early retirement I started driving for Lanarkshire Cancer Care Trust running patients to and from hospital for treatment. This was on a volunteer basis. I am new working as a support worker with Sense Scotland which supports deaf/blind people.

Other Comments

I realise that there may be a logical explanation for this although I can't think of any and I thought it would be of interest to you.
