18 NOVEMBER 1981 - TREBOETH, SWANSEA

Night - clear. Mrs Mary Evans of Llwyd Road [Lloyd Road or Cnap Llwyd Road - probably the latter], Treboeth saw a 'bright fiery light' hovering behind old lodging house ruins on top of hill overlooking Llewellyn Park [Morris Castle?]. She watched it for several minutes before it disappeared into the night sky.

'I thought the house was on fire because the light was so bright. It seemed very hot and I think must have left some form of scorch marks on the ground,' she said.

Swansea Coastguards explained it away as meteorites [!]. Neither Swansea Police nor the airport had received any reports. Mrs Evans's neighbour also saw the object.
