I realise it may be hard to gauge quantitatively, but I > notice that the Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth & District Morning > News (via Devereux, 1989, p.82) reported that the light had "been seen > over the Burton Hills in damp weather for over ninety years"--that > being said in 1924. > As far as I know nothing has been seen since the '20s, but there was a well-publicised UFO flap in the Banbury/Burton hills area circa 1970-71. One of the sightings, reported in Flying Saucer Review at the time, involved 'balls of light' seen in a nearby hamlet whose descriptions resembled those from the '20s. The newscutting you refer to is one of a number from the era 1923-24 containing references to sightings in and around the hills dating back to the early 19th century. With regards to my original booklet, Spooklights, this is out of print but I have the text available in Word, with a new introduction.
