END OF AUGUST 1997 – GORSEINON
Daytime, about 6.30 PM. Tom James was making cards for friends playing
golf at Gowerton Golf Course. It was a beautifully clear summer evening,
with no clouds or wind. Looking to the north towards Gorseinon, he
observed a white/metallic, cylindrical or cigar-shaped object in the
sky, about 20 or 30 degrees above the horizon, moving from the direction
of Loughor, over Gorseinon and continuing on towards Penllergaer, (west
to east). At first he thought it was a plane, but then noticed there was
no tail or wings visible, and it was moving too slowly. It took about 4
or 5 minutes to pass along its visible course, with the sun reflecting
off its fuselage, there was no sound and Tom said it was apparently a
cigar-shape, with angled ends to a rounded point at each end. He
continued watching it until it disappeared in the east. He did not call
his golfing friends’ attention to the object as he thought it might
upset their game.
