I love this book! I bought it at Walden's but I am sure it would probably be available from the same information you have. The Wiltshire Shadows Chisbury, Wiltshire, England 8 April 1912 Charles Tilden Smith reported the following to the respected British science journal Nature. For over half an hour Smith observed two fan-shaped or triangular 'heavy shadows' cast onto clouds overhead. The clouds were moving rapidly, but the shadows remained stationary in the sky. From time to time the unidentified apparitions varied in size. Smith concluded that two large unseen objects in the west were intercepting the Sun's rays. ASSESSMENT If the Sun had been the light source that the objects were intercepting, then the shadows should have moved higher on the clouds as the Sun declined in the sky. But they did not. Therefore there must have been a separate light (which Smith did not see) maintaining a constant position in the sky. The changes in size were probably caused by shadows falling at different angles on the cloud surfaces. Which does not explain the objects or the light source. pg. 28 UFO The Complete Sightings Peter Brookesmith Barnes & Noble, Inc. 1995
