12 FEBRUARY 2018 - LLANRWST, NORTH WALES

t midnight 12 February 2018. A 43-year-old man was walking home from North Llanrwst to Trefriw. He had just crossed the suspension footbridge over the Conwy River and was walking along Gower Road (heading north-west). He saw a light to the south-east on his left hand side, up the valley in the direction of Gwydir Castle and Capel Garmon beyond.

It had a yellow hue to it and appeared as a ball or point of light. The light was at a low level and was moving in a bobbing motion, down - left 'shimmying' - stop - left - up - down - right - stopped and hovered etc It also seemed to come closer and move away, but this could be caused by the fact it pulsed slowly - brighter and dimmer.

The area between the witness and the object was flat fields - the floodplain of the river, with mountains behind. He said it was difficult to gauge the distance of the object as it was dark. There was no sound. He watched it for about an hour until 1 a.m. at which point the cold got the better of him and he continued his walk home.
