Last nights call to a report of a red flare over Swanage shows how important members of the public are when it comes to reporting incidents.
A member of the public walking close to Northbrook Road sighted a flare out to sea, we arrived and took the lady back to where she saw it, having worked that out we carried out a search of the beach and around to Peveril Point.
Having spoken to a few fishermen on the beach, no other reports or sightings came in.
So what was it? It could have been an aircraft - this was discounted after checking with air traffic control. A light shining off the cloud base?
Sadly on incidents like this we rarely find out just check the area the best we can all we ask is that if YOU see something ALWAYS report it, someones life could depend on it.
