 standard compulsory navigation lights?
I first noticed it heading inland from Mumbles - I'm looking south across the bay. It seemed to perform a wide arc, west to east, heading back out to sea at my 10 o'clock position, somewhere just before the Meridian Tower, and heading towards the Somerset coast. When it turned south, I would have expected to see the green light, as if it was a helicopter, my view, when it turned, would have been of the rear of it - so surely, I would have seen the red and green lights? But the strange thing is even though it was doing this arc movement, the same red light seemed to show the whole time. It didn't seem to flash as quickly as the red lights I've seen on the police helicopter at night. In fact, it was a similar speed to the red light at the entrance to Swansea docks.
does seem odd as if the whole body of it was red?
Kind of, yes. That was what had my scratching my head. Up to that point, I assumed it was a helicopter, but maybe some kind of weird atmospherics were deflecting the sound away from the shore. But the arc it flew was quite clear to see, using the lights on boats and buoys as points of reference. Yet when it started heading out to sea, its trajectory had changed, yet it was still the same red light. Weird.
It was at Highfield, Loughor, i believe we were either facing South or South-East. It was only me and my friend in the car, i didn't notice any other witnesses in the area. My friend was the one who spotted it and shouted out "what the hell is that!?" Unfortunately my recollection of actually seeing it is so vague, because i didn't get a good look at it, and it was months ago now too. I do remember wondering myself at the time how low it actually was/how big it actually was, i couldn't really figure it out just by seeing it for a split second each time and trying to focus on driving at the same time too, as stupid as that may sound. I couldn't figure out if it was something larger and further away, or something smaller and closer to us! It was directly to the right of me as i was driving, so i almost had to look over my shoulder and upwards, and it was only visible between houses too, so all in all i really couldn't get a good look at it.
I remember it being a dark grey/black colour, and i don't recall seeing any type of lights at all, but again i couldn't look at it in detail, and with it being the middle of the day lights would have been difficult to see anyway. It was definitely close enough for us to clearly confirm that it did not have any kind of wings or blades. If i had to guess, I'd say it was around the same size as a small helicopter, maybe slightly smaller, but like i said i honestly don't know. To me it was like seeing a regular low-flying helicopter, only it definitely wasn't a helicopter.
There was no sound, not any we could hear anyway. (we didn't get out of the car, and i can't recall if we had music on either, i know we didn't when we filmed it, but it was further away then anyway.) The only explanation i could think of was that it was some kind of drone, but I've never seen one like that before... but we both believe it was too big and too fast to be a drone regardless. It was in line with us when we spotted it, travelling in the same direction, i was doing a solid 30-35mph and by the time i stopped the car at the bottom of the road, whipped my phone out, it seemed a lot further into the distance already, and it seemed higher than i thought it was when we first saw it too, although it's hard to tell because we were higher up when we first spotted it as the street goes downhill.
Witness was walking with a friend when they both saw a bright light for a few seconds. It went without leaving a trail. The sighting was reported to MUFON on February 9th 2017.
"I was walking to my sisters with a friend and looked in the distance as you get a beautiful view of the town during the day. about 5 miles from the location i was, i could see a bright light and for a few seconds i thought it was just the sun but about 5 miles to the east of the light was the sun and got my friend to look. as i looked back at the light it was gone with no trail or any clouds in the sky. i didn't know what it was i saw and still don't to this day. my friends refuses to admit tha he thinks that there is a possibility of it being a ufo and i don't say i think it is, i just hope it was and i know what i am looking in the sky as i am strongly into astronomy and have studied it... i have told friends and family but they end up laughing at me because i say that i hope it was a ufo that i had seen and never told anyone else after due to the fear of being judged"
Fine and dry clear night. Slight wind.
Husband and wife, Phil and Kris Prevel, and a friend, Gill Wood were in a lay-by on the A4067 overlooking Cray Reservoir in the Brecon Beacons. The planets and stars were becoming visible as it got dark.
They saw a bright object to the west 30 degrees above the horizon. It was like a small bright white light the size of a planet moving erratically before winking out. It reappeared and winked out repeatedly, to the left, right, above, below and diagonally in an erratic fashion. The only consistent thing was the winking on and off and appearance in a new position.
The witnesses also looked at the object through binoculars and all agreed that it was not a plane.
It did not travel across the sky at all, it was contained within a specific area (as if it were contained within a box or circle and couldn't move outside of it). It then just disappeared.
The witnesses also saw three satellites, planets, one helicopter, one shooting star. The Milky Way was also visible.
She added that during the whole week the pensioners in her street had been complaining about so many low flying aircraft flying around, from police helicopters to military aircraft, which was not normal. This was happening at night also, keeping people awake.
Witness, along with his wife and his daughter, saw a static light in the sky that appeared to be flashing and changing colour. Through binoculars it seemed to move or 'dance' around, and was changing colours through red, blue, green and white. They watched it for an hour before going to bed. They saw a similar light again on the night of September 17th. The sightings were reported to UK UFO on September 20th 2016.
"At about 23-00 hours my wife said there is a light in the sky that is not moving it has been static for sometime, I looked and could see the and it looked as if was flashing and changing colour although appeared to be static. I got out my binoculars and looked at it and found that it was changing colours red blue green white and it was not static but dancing around up and down and side to side and then still again. When it was viewed without binoculars you were not able to see the dancing movement, we called my daughter and see also viewed it but could not offer any explanation. We watched it for about an hour and then went to bed. We then witnessed it a again couple of days later. We saw a similar light in the sky last year over a neighbours property but thought it was something to do with him but this time it was not over any property."
A police helicopter crew filmed an object over the Bristol Channel as they were coming in to land at St. Athan. It was giving off heat and could only be seen by infrared camera. A dark, circular shape is seen hovering in the sky as police monitors can be heard observing what they are seeing - although they have admitted they have no idea what it was.
The National Police Air Service at St. Athan in South Wales tweeted footage of the UFO explaining it was not spotted by local air traffic control. It was filmed over Bristol on Saturday, September 17, and shared online by NPAS St. Athan, the National Police Air Service which is based in South Wales.
The clip, which they have revealed is part of a much longer video, was filmed 'over the Bristol Channel at approx 1,000 feet', they explained. The filming was set to 'black hot', which means there is heat coming off the craft.
'We really don't know but doubt it was a lantern as it was going into the wind,' they said on Twitter.
An alien hunter has lashed out at South Wales Police for allegedly hiding some vital information from him when he submitted a suspicious footage of what he believes to be a UFO. The footage was taken in September with an infra-red camera on board a police helicopter.
Gary Heseltine claimed he saw circular object hovering in mid-air and appears to spin at a high speed. The editor of UFO Truth magazine also said that he has been submitting numerous Freedom of Information requests to South Wales Police ever since he got hold of the footage. However, police have not been very open about the incident and Gary believes that they are hiding something from the public.
The editor, who believes that this South Wales incident is very similar to another case in Chile involving a Navy helicopter, demanded logs of the police helicopter, flight maps and audio from the cockpit.
