Background

At 4:00 a.m. police constables Roger Willey and Clifford Waycott chased a bright cross-shaped light in their patrol car at 90 mph between Holsworthy and Hatherleigh on the A307 road in Devon. The object appeared to land behind some trees but took off before they could reach the site, although they came within 120 feet of it. The object was later seen to rendezvous in the sky with a similar object. Other policemen reported a UFO on this day and the following day. The chase was reported on page 1 of the London Times and in the Daily Mirror on October 25, 1967. 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.
