Mrs Bassett, Little West, Southerndown, wrote to Captain Lindsay, Chief-Constable of Glamorgan, reporting that she saw, '.....out of a west window an airship going over the mouth of the Ogmore River, and bearing to the right. It had a bright red light and was going very fast.

There was not any wind; I distinctly saw the shape of it. It was most certainly not Venus.

The light disappeared as it was going, and did not reappear.'
