Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness

Incident date:

28.04.1967 11:25

Location:

Бриксхем

United Kingdom

Coast guard station were alerted to a bright object in the sky and looked at it in 25-fold binoculars on a tripod.

The object was stationary, slowly rotating. It was cone-shaped, with the pointed end up and had a small triangular mark near the bottom, which had a wrinkled appearance.

The plane was seen near the object.

Over an hour later, the object slowly moved at right angles to the direction of the wind and disappeared in the clouds. It's possible to detect on radar.

[Note: duration, description, and the absence of any sharp or fast movements suggest that it is, in all probability, a large, plastic research probe. At their height the wind direction may be different from directions at low altitudes.]

Original news

April 28, 1967; Brixham, Devon, UK
11:25 a.m. LT. A Coast Guard Station was alerted to a bright object in the sky and viewed it through 25x binoculars on a tripod. The object was stationary, revolving slowly. It was cone-shaped, pointed end up, and had a small triangular mark near the bottom, which had a crinkled appearance. A plane was seen to circle the object. More than an hour later, the object moved off slowly at a right angle to wind direction and disappeared into clouds. Possible radar detection. (Hennessey-Jenkins report, 5/26/67, NICAP files; National Enquirer 9/10/67, copy in Donald E. Keyhoe Archives files; Le Figaro 5/21 /67 quoting London Sunday Express 5/21 /67, copy in NICAP files; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 1, May-June 1967, p. 8.) [Note: The duration, description, and lack of any abrupt or rapid motions all suggest that this was in all probability a large, plastic research balloon. At their altitude, wind direction can be different from that at lower altitudes.]

Balloon/Weather Balloon

The balloon (simplified is a balloon) — an aircraft lighter than air, where the lift force is used enclosed in a sheath gas (or heated air) with a density less than the density of the surrounding air.

Distinguish between tethered, Svobodnaya and balloons — powered airships.
