A ‘mysterious airship’ was seen by members of the Marshall family. Only a light was visible, which appeared to be directed downwards and was buffeted by the wind. It was under observation for 25 minutes from about 6.30pm. The light disappeared and reappeared twice and finally disappeared to the north.

On a bright night with little wind, an airship was seen shortly after 8pm for ‘a considerable time’. The thousands of witnesses included a police sergeant; some claimed to clearly see the outlines of the airship, which carried a bright light, over the Bristol Channel. It passed out of sight to the northwest.
