My mum told me an interesting story yesterday that I thought I'd share with you. She lives in Newquay, a popular tourist resort by the sea in Cornwall for those who don't know. Her house is situated alongside an estuary with a view of the sea in the distance. She awoke around 4 a.m. on Friday morning (26th) and as she soon had to be up for work anyway she decided to potter around the house rather than go back to sleep. As she got out of bed her bedroom was suddenly lit up by a very bright white light. She assumed this was caused by car headlights and waited for the car to pass. However no car went by and she heard no sound. She went to the bedroom window and drew the curtains to see where the light was coming from. She saw a large white light, about twice the size of a car headlight, that seemed to be quite high in the sky over the estuary. She couldn't make out the source of this light as it was too dazzling and she heard no sound of an engine, car, plane, boat or helicopter. As she watched the light suddenly went out and she saw nothing visible in the sky in the dim dawn light. I suggested to her it may have been a farmer on the cliffs opposite the estuary, where a farm is situated, out looking for something with a powerful searchlight. However she pointed out surely she would have seen the light sweeping back and forth along the cliffs. She has lived in the house for 2 years and has never experienced anything like it before. Any suggestions?
