Hi,

I can only add one bit to this. Its not something I have thought
of retrospectively. I told David about it two years ago and
wrote about it in my first summary of the case (Northern UFO
News 176 - June l997 issue)

I live in a village just north of Buxton in the Peak District.
As the aircraft flies that is very close to the sighting
location to my north east. That night both my mother and I were
in the garden as I was showing her the then bright comet
Hale-Bopp with my binoculars. We went back in around 7:30 to
watch Coronation Street on TV (couldn't miss that could we?) But
I popped out several times later to watch the comet until around
10 pm (my last trip outside as it was getting chilly). We both
noted and I certainly commented on this before David found out
about the military exercise that there was an unusual amount of
aerial activity in the skies during the period 7 - 10 pm.

We do get civil aircraft going into Manchester and low level
flights of military jets (mostly in daylight) that nearly knock
the chimney off our bungalow. But there was unquestionably an
excess amount of activity that night. There were slow moving
lights, probably helicopters, and faster moving aircraft. All
were to the north and east of me. In the two years since I have
never seen anything akin to the level of activity that night.

Best wishes,
