Cradle Hill, UK
Three objects were observed by 11 witnesses for over 75 minutes.
11 people watching for UFOs saw on the ground something like a "burning bush" about 600 yards away, in the place called "Kidnappers Hole." Christopher Trubridge and Robert Coates ran in that direction. The lights went out, but when near the spot Christopher saw in the moonlight, 100 ft away, a figure about 7 ft tall, dressed in a tight fitting shiny black suit, with a gold sash or "bandoleer" around the neck and shoulder. Long, dark gold hair fell to its shoulders and it had bright eyes, their color indeterminate in the lighting, and a "rather feminine" set of features in a not unattractive face. The figure was motionless, one arm upraised. The witnesses could not approach it nearer than about 30 yards. Overcome by fear, oddly mixed with an indescribable emotion, both men retreated hastily.
