Cuxhaven, Germany: RAF Wellington bomber shadowed by object with fixed searchlight
On the night of 23 March 1940, an RAF Wellington bomber flying near Cuxhaven, Germany, was shadowed by an object carrying a fixed searchlight.
Background
At night on 23 March 1940, an RAF Wellington bomber was flying near Cuxhaven, Germany. An object with a fixed searchlight shadowed the aircraft, staying about 7,500 (the entry gives no unit) behind it and to starboard. Eberhart cites Graeme Rendall's article in The Debrief (December 2022) on wartime RAF reports of unexplained flying objects. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
