They never found anything crashed.

The initial sighting was by the gate guards looking eastward directly through the woods towards the lighthouse.

When they went towards the lights, the lights "receded". When they moved crosswise through the forest, the light moved with them (as the light from a distant lighthouse would do).

The most important evidence (the tape recording) shows their sightings match up precisely with the rotation of the lighthouse beam. Whenever the lighthouse beams sweeps over them, they shout "there it is again!"

The direction they claim to have seen stuff is precisely in line with both the Orfordness Lighthouse and the Shipwash Lightship.

They are embellishing their stories whenever someone pokes a hole in it.

And so forth.

You're still not accounting for the eyewitness accounts as to the motion of the object. And how the hell can you explain the "takeoff" of the object, or it's "burning" appearance. Once they supposedly got close, the object was CONTINUALLY IN VIEW. It didn't come and go, as a sweeping lighthouse would.

And you still haven't addressed the one-time nature of the events, on a normal weather night. Why never before? Why never again?

You are simply wrong on a number of points of fact.

I gather you have not read the record to any significant degree.

Thanks for the 'other side' -- I was searching the web and could only find what sci fi is saying.
