The Primru-y Ob:lect D= ~ir DL) The' Arrowhead'

On arrival ",t the f ield the Lydon's sill' that a neigbbour,)!r 3,and his nephew, were already out there watching the obje~t.3uddenly the attention of all four witnesses was dbtracted to tbe fioodlights of tbe colliery naross the field. Here two smul lights were applV'antly oircling the floodlights.'I'hen,f'rom the Winter Hill direotion oame a fourth object, mo'1ng very fallt and seeming to streek along MllIOst at ground level.This WaS very unutnlal in shape, being like an arrowhead or ioe-oroOlll cone.It was greyish, but ~ two orange liehts at tho rear, a white light on the nooe 3lld a white light sprXing out a fon or.lI'ped re;y on th/l under­side.

Turning bnok f'rom the diV<!rsive act! ty over the Colliery they looked again at the oigar objeot round to the south. The glow f~ the rear had oeased and the porthole lishtn weee coing dimmer and brighter (according to BriM Lydon it was ae if "OIIething were paesing in front 01'1 th811 obscuring light, but nothing was positively vieible).It " .. s at this point (it seems about 22.00 - ie 15/20 mins into the dghting) that the Lydorul decided to drive to a location they knew noarhy which should place them nearer to the c~ like objeot.They left ths other wit­nesses still on the field, but not bef'o" all had observed the two ligb'h and the 8.I"l'Owhead lIet off f'rom the Collie%'y head'ing towards the cigar.The arrowhead put on a f!\ldden buret of "P .. ed and reached t~ prim8TT object f'irst and then disappeared either 1a!2. or ~ the cigar.Whatevs:'1 the cas .. , none of' the witnesses saw it again ... althoueh the other lights (or what was aS8Ul'lled to be them) were seen .

The drive l"",hd five minutee,during which they lost the objeotn in strestlight glare on the mnin road. They then turned ~ff onto Park Lane,whioh heads east to a location known !llJ the Valley adjacent 1'0 Crank lfood .Here there ie open land with the only building en Alloy Factory of' quite maul scale to their l ef't (north) and a landcllo!lped lIillock to their rigb~ (eouth).'l'he lane petere ont and continuea direetly nhead of the point at which th'P'" etopped (beneath the welcollling 'safe haven' of the rseOlU'i ty light on ths sid, of the faotory building).Ahead (east) th, track (nn it t hen ia) leade into ths woods and to farms.

At thio point (by "'bram AlIOyu) the ~ig8.I" was visible over Crank Wood movi.ng very slollly north~e"st.The two lights 1I'1re directly ahead over the track. One seemed to r_.un ~tstion!U7 (although some wa;y lbaek in the sky ).'l'he other at first continu&d toward the oiglLl' but then ohMged oourse and began to head along Tl\e
