TRIANGULAR UFO SEEN NEAR BRIDGEND 24 JULY 2017
About 11 PM.
Giles Brown was at home in Wildfield, Broadlands, Bridgend and saw an
object through his bedroom window to the south. It was at about 40
degrees elevation and was moving erratically from the west to east. He
said it was in the southern part of the sky, rather than overhead, and
guessed it would have been going from Porthcawl to Cowbridge areas.
By coincidence the International Space Station passed over traveling
west to east at 11.05 pm, but at a much higher elevation, and Giles is
positive that this object was not the ISS, which he had seen many times
before.
'This wasn't the ISS I've seen that before and it moves
quite fast , this definitely stopped and started and while moving was
fairly slow. Definitely triangular as well as it had lights around the
edge and sort of formed a A in the sky. I live very close to the flight
path of Cardiff airport so I'm used to seeing aircraft takeoff and land
at night and this was nothing like that. The other strange thing was I
observed this for around 4 -5 minutes from my bedroom window, as it
moved out of sight I moved into the living room to continue to view the
object in the direction of travel (a matter of seconds) and the object
was gone, not in the distance as you'd expect but gone completely. Very
strange.'
He described the object as triangular with 6 maybe 7 white
lights underneath and moving in a stop start motion or appeared to be.
It was hard to judge the distance away but he assumed it was Jumbo Jet
sized and probably 5 miles away.
