East Dulwich, London: Mid-

1970's Luminescent Ball of

Mist

The witness’ account of his sighting follows

below, as documented on the BUFORA
Questionnaire:
"I lived in a large block of flats on the second
floor. I came out of my friend’s flat that lived next
door. I rang my doorbell and then looked out at
the view of London.

I noticed high up in the NW sky a luminous ball of

mist. A small round pink light came slowly along
from the right and stopped dead in front of the
mist.
I would guesstimate that the object was above
SW London
The ball of mist started to reduce in size and
appeared to be swirling/moving as it did so.
 The mist enveloped the pink light, continuing to
reduce in size as it did so. The ball of mist
eventually disappeared to nothing. There wasn't a
trace of the mist or the pink object in the sky.
I do not mind this account being shared with
others - hopefully someone will have had a
similar
experience - I am still really intrigued by what I
saw after all these years".

The witness went on to answer other questions

on the questionnaire as documented below:
Brightness of objects (as compared to the full
moon):
Object was dullish pink - Ball of mist was
luminescent but not glaring
Sound of objects:
None
Smell of object(s):
None
 Observation data and time:

Mid-Seventies
Time object(s) were observed for in minutes:
One minute
How did you gauge the time duration?:
This is an estimate
Where were you at the time of the incident?:
Overhill Road. East Dulwich, London
Were there any other witnesses to the
object(s) seen?:
No
How did the object(s) disappear from view?:
The pink light stopped dead in front of the mist.
The mist grew smaller in size and enveloped the
pink object. The mist shrank to nothing - no trace
of anything
Were the objects photographed or filmed?:
No
 Did you, or the surrounding environment
suffer any physical effects which you
consider to be
attributable to the objects seen?:

No
Other than the reported events did anything
else unusual occur around the time of the
sighting:
Afterwards, I recall that there was some
newspaper coverage in a local newspaper about
an
unusual pink light being seen. I think this was The
South London Press. I think a well known DJ may
have also seen a similar object?
I can recall the TV programme I had just watched
with a friend and think that it had finished at
21.00hrs. Sky was dark at this time. I think it was
either a Fri/Sat night.
Please note that I am unsure of the date/year but
think it must of been 73/74/75
I asked the witness to try to draw what he saw in
order to give some kind of a visual illustration for
this report. This follows below:
