This was at least 10 miles away! John exclaims “That must have been about 10 miles in a second!!! What could fly that fast?” But then he stops himself and tries to pretend he’s not too convinced as he suggests the theory of ball lightening. He was extremely impressed that in about a second it was travelling over the horizon of the next town over. John excitedly described how fast it must have been travelling. The light flew off! A vivid bright ball of white light shot out from the arch and sped across the vista. Then all of a sudden something totally unexpected happened. “I wonder what movie they’re shooting?” John pondered with his eyes glued on the Tor. He can see the arch of the Tor vividly lit and the outline of the arch very clear. And it is clearly coming from under the arch of the Tor. In fact the light he’s looking at under the arch is lighting the entire area. John presumes it is one of their movie dome lights, extremely strong film lights. This apparently was not that unusual as it provides a prime vista for movies and has been featured in quite a few.

John knows there is no one manning the Tor and no one in their right mind would go up there in this weather at night! Immediately he jumps to the conclusion that it is something quite normal, that it is a film crew up there shooting a movie. There is a very bright light clearly in the arch way of the Tor.

As John drives the familiar road home, he spots the Tor in the distance as usual. On this particular night it was a cold British winter night.
