It seemed that a full minute elapsed and then there was a noise as though a thousand whistles were being blown. It died away gradually, but was followed within a few seconds by a rumbling sound which seemed to shake everything and which resembled very powerful thunder. The last sound was like a dull thud.” Pbliee-Sergeant Ghorbv said: “The whistling was like a lot of incendiary bombs dropping. The rumbling noise was like thunder, but the light was most curious. It was powerful and white and we could not trace it to any object in the sky. One of our constables on duty reported that Boston Church, 12 miles away, could Ir> seen quite plainly.”
