Victor's contribution to the UFO community as a whole will be
greatly missed following this sad news.

Following Victor's analysis of the FT sightings during December
1999, I contacted Victor for more information. Unfortunately my
attempts to contact Victor failed, until he saw a message I
posted on the UFO Forum on Compuserve. What followed was a new
dimension of research into the "Flying Triangle", that comprised
of the data collated by Victor and all the FT contributors
throughout the UK.

As early as March 1998, from a research point of view, Victor's
work was complimented with an inependant sighting of unusual
sightings in the vicinity of one of the hot spots in the uk.

Following on from this Victor was able to identify certain time
lines which have greatly assisted in future investigations into
these sightings.

Many things have been eliminated from this enquiry, most
certainly lighthouses, airports, tractors, boats, cars, etc. One
particular area comprises only marshes which greatly eliminates
anything other than a silent craft which houses red/white/amber
lights, can hover for 30 minutes, appearingly change shape, be
only 100 feet from observers, and merely 30 feet above ground.

During the past 5 years we have been able to utilise the local
residents association to eradicate local landmarks and also
encourage free speech within the area of question. The locals
are now very helpfull and come along to see some very strange
sights.

We took one local to a secluded field by the marshes, she saw,
as we all did, a sudden appearance of a white "glowing"pyramid
shaped object. Two red lights on the bottom edge of the pyramid.
On top a pulsating green light. This just appeared, materialised
if you like. After a few minutes this object blinked out like a
light, it was gone.

This type of sighting is not unusual in the area Victor
specified. His research was second to none, becuase he had
identified true hot-spots. From the conversations over the years
we had, Victor knew he had stumbled across something, but even
to the day he perished, I doubt he realised how significant his
research was.

This field research will continue as it has done from 1999,
there has been some significant footage obtained, which to my
knowledge has yet to be conventionally identified. There is one
piece of footage which absolutely fascinates us but until it is
independantly verified as being anomalous and concurs with our
own blown up images, it will remain a mystery.

So I would like to postumously commend Victor on his work within
ufology and for all the information he divulged which led to the
ongoing
investigation which ensued.

Many thinaks
