What was reported
On a flight from Gibraltar to Heathrow in March 1967, Sheppard and his crew watched two unidentified objects perform what he described as a ten-minute aerobatic display over the Bay of Biscay. No shape, size or colour is given in Hind's summary. She lists it, with his other 1967 sighting, as an older example of a pilot report in an article asking whether pilots deserve more credence than other witnesses, noting that his later public statements cost him his airline's goodwill and led to early retirement.
