24 SEPTEMBER 1965 - GORSEINON

Approximately 12.35 PM.

14-year-old Michael David, of 4 Bryngwastad Road, Gorseinon, saw a huge object flying from the direction of Loughor towards that of Penllergaer (west to east). He heard the noise of an engine and looked up expecting to see the usual sort of aeroplane, but what he saw was completely abnormal to him.

Directly overhead, flying between a break in the low cloud cover, was a huge object with a long, slender nose and only the smallest suggestion of a tail.

On the square-like underside of this machine, were two cylinder-shaped black marks running parallel to each other, the whole length of its body.

There were no wings and its general colour was silver-grey, even its engines emitted a peculiar sound. Michael was the only person to see the object, but his mother said she heard the sound it made, and it seemed unusual to her.
