In (1931) Fort writes of “unknown, luminous things, or beings” that have often been seen, sometimes close to this earth, and sometimes high in the sky. “It may be that some of them were living things that occasionally come from somewhere else in our existence, but that others were lights on the vessels of explorers, or voyagers, from somewhere else.” Surveying a range of experiences for a 1982 study, Hilary Evans concluded that what he called BOLs (Balls of Light) display curiosity or) display natural bioluminescence and have on occasions been reported as elusive wandering lights. But in his study Hilary went further to propose the existence of “some kind of creature or entity, inhabiting our atmosphere, possessing physical properties – albeit very different ones than those of any known earth creature; and endowed with a degree of intelligence” (, Probe Report 3, 1 July 1982).
