Walkabout Report
Palm Bay

Page 2 of 2

As we walked along a particular section of the promenade, Sarah and some others felt uneasy, Sarah just wanted to hold her stomach and felt like she had been stabbed. Jen felt sick and, when Sue and Dawn caught up, they too felt uneasy. Dawn also felt she wanted to hold her stomach as though she was pregnant and Sue just wanted to move on quickly out of this area.

We carried on walking to the end of Palm Bay before turning around and heading back the way we had come.
Bryn thought he may have been sensing something but not wartime, no specific date or era apart from it being much, much earlier.

As we approached the area where some of us had felt uneasy, those who had been affected earlier speeded up. Bryn, who had taken a much shorter route diagonally across the beach, was amazed to discover that he and the main group arrived at the same point together.
Sarah and Jen's arms felt very heavy but this sensation quickly disappeared once out of this area.

At the end of the promenade, back at Foreness Point, we stopped for a sit down.
Sarah sensed a man in a green uniform, wearing a flat, military-style cap and smoking a pipe.
She described him as standing there and just looking in the direction we had come from, she thought his name was "George".

We made our way back up the slope and onto the cliff-top before returning to the cars.

During the Walkabout, questions were raised concerning orange lights on an aircraft and it was felt this would be highly unlikely, however the aircraft concerned did have combat damage before crashing so possibly these orange lights were the glow from on-board fires?

Sceptical Analysis by Bryn
A possible alternative explanation for the witnessed orange lights could be the reflections of street lights and/or lights from ships out at sea on the wet sand. Even at the time of the Walkabout, several large vessels where moored offshore. Most of these vessels had very powerful sodium orange lights that reflected readily off of the wet sand. Walking along the area, the reflections 'follow' your movement as you perceive the reflections (as one would expect). Reflections of this strength coupled with tiredness could well appear 'airborne' from a cliff-top position.
We would also question the validity of these witnessed lights as being from an aircraft. It is highly unlikely a combat aircraft would have minimal lights, and certainly not during a night flight in the era of night time German raids otherwise it could have blazed a lighted path back to an important airbase. Also the high voltage needed for sodium-style lights was unavailable during the era in question (patents date from 1970). It is also unlikely that a wounded aircraft could manage many, if any, non-critical systems.

There were no obvious impact scars visible but they could have been removed by the natural erosion of the cliffs / chalk bed.
Of note was the structure of the chalk bed, its layout does naturally produce radial grooves going out to sea which could be mistaken for crash scrapes.

Ignoring what was sensed, we could find no direct / testable evidence of any paranormal activity but this area definitely warrants further investigation..
