Initial data
Two policemen patrolling the seafront, saw a blood-red object with a jagged black stripe in the center, rising from the water on the horizon.
Chief inspector Reginald Jones, of division "D" of the police of Glamorgan told Flying Saucer Review that two police officers thought at first that they see fire on the horizon in the direction Ilfracombe. But then it rose out of the water like a blood-red sun, and has become much more than Panora Moon.
While two police officers watched, two more bands appeared from the top and bottom. He remained at sea level, then suddenly took off at fantastic speed to the Atlantic.
Chief inspector Jones said that the report went to the highest level. The representative of the Ministry of aviation said that one possible explanation for this phenomenon was that it was "a planet playing tricks. Venus at certain times of the year, plays all sorts of tricks - often due to climatic conditions."
Since then, in "Review of flying saucers", it was established that Venus dipped below the horizon an hour after sunset that night. Sunset was at 19:48 PM (summer time). So it could not be seen around midnight!

Original news
Two policemen patrolling the seafront saw a blood-red object with a jagged black streak across its centre rise out of the water on the horizon. Chief-Inspector Reginald Jones, of “D” Division, Glamorgan Police, told Flying Saucer Review that the two policemen thought at first that they were seeing a ship on fire on the horizon towards Ilfracombe. But then it rose out of the water like a blood-red sun, a good deal larger than a full-sized harvest moon. While the two police officers watched, two more streaks appeared above and below. It remained at sea level, then suddenly took off at a fantastic speed towards the Atlantic. Chief-Inspector Jones said the report had gone to top level. An Air Ministry spokesman said that one possible explanation of the phenomenon was that it was “a planet playing tricks.” “Venus does at certain times of the year play all kinds of tricks–often due to climatic conditions.” Flying Saucer Review has since ascertained that Venus went below the horizon one hour after sunset on that evening. Sunset was at 7.48 p.m. (Summer time). So it could not possibly have been visible at around midnight!
