MEMBERS PRESENT: JJ and DM.

SET UP AT SITE: 20.00 hrs. E.S.T.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Cool, at around + 1 degree C. Quite still but there is a damp haze which makes it feel colder. Water fairly calm. Visibility good around the shoreline. Slightly misty over the water.

The LIGHT PILLAR is here again tonight.

20.43 h. First orange object appeared very briefly, then disappeared. Slightly wider than normal shape seen. Appeared at the usual height of about 5 degrees above the horizon.

20.54 h. Multi-coloured object look like sparkling colourful diamonds. Appears to be rotating in counter-clockwise direction. Disappeared very quickly.

20.59 h. Orange object appears, but on closer inspection, through the high-power binoculars, it seems to be multi-coloured. Disappeared.

21.06 h. Multi-coloured, jewel-like object appears, and immediately disappears. These objects seem a bit closer tonight. They are over the water rather than over the far shore.

THE BOAT INCIDENT

A very strange boat appeared from the Hamilton/Burlington direction. It was ablaze with lights - a floating light-show!!! These lights gave the appearance of flashing, and some seem to pulsate, probably due to the atmospheric effect. D and I thought that we could see an "orange orb" a little way back and on top of this structure. (Are we losing it?) This is not a "normal" boat. It made its way across the water, west to east, and passed in front of the LIGHT PILLAR. Then it headed off in the direction of northern New York State.

I decided to video this boat affair, and tracked it as it approached the LIGHT PILLAR. When replaying this bit of filming, I see, to the boat's right, a very faint image of one of the orange orbs coming down to the water's surface and submerging.

21.13 h. Red flashing object appears, and then starts going upwards. This object faded somewhat, and another one appeared. Where did they go?

21.18 h. Bright red, glittery, glowing object appears. Shrinks down to a tiny spot of colour, no bigger than a pinhead. We have brought the compass, and are checking the bearings tonight.

Another similar object appears, and a second. We take one object each, and try to follow their activity. Things are happening rather too fast.

21.23 h. Bright orange object appears.

21.28 h. Another bright orange object appears. This seems much wider. These two are now going towards each other, but it is difficult to get an idea of distance. They appear to be flashing to each other.

NOTE: We are feeling very calm about all this now. Interesting to see how we move on to the "acceptance" level, and we are now simply logging the events, and enjoying the scene.

21.37 h. Object appears, very glittery in appearance, and seems to be rotating. Much higher up from horizon. Helicopter flies past.

21.59 h. Orange object appears momentarily.

22.00 h. Pack up for the night.

AFTERTHOUGHT

Unfortunately, I had accidentally switched my audio recorder on to PAUSE, and we missed tape recording an interesting little incident.

Sometime after the BOAT AFFAIR, during the time of the brief appearance of all the orange orbs, a small plane had been circling around the area over the water. During that period, we noted that the LIGHT PILLAR actually disappeared. After the plane activity had passed, the LIGHT PILLAR reappeared.
