Title | 19 JANUARY 1983 – NIGHT OF THE TRIANGLES: TOWNHILL, SWANSEA |
Location | TOWNHILL, SWANSEA |
Tags | Sighting UFO Lights Triangle |
Date | Wednesday, 19th of January 1983 |
Evening:
8 year-old Mark Rayworth was with his mother, sister and friend. It was
dark and the street lighting was on. The weather was dry and clear.
They were standing on the footpath at Townhill Road, Graiglwydd Square,
opposite the police station, when his mother said, “Look at that,”
pointing above their heads. On looking up he saw two equilateral
triangular shaped objects above them which he described as massive in
size and almost stationary, but very very slowly moving, in the
direction of Mumbles. Both objects were black in colour with rounded off
corners. Around the entire lower perimeter of the objects, were flashing
lights, all different colours, and just individually flashing on and off
randomly. There was one large white light positioned in the centre of
their base, which was constantly glowing. They made no sound nor was
there any trail left behind them. Their height was estimated to be about
500 feet. They all watched these objects in awe, for some 10 to 15
minutes, and they then had to leave the scene, to visit friends before
the objects disappeared from view.
Mark immediately believed that the objects were alien to this planet,
and says they had a profound effect on his life.
