Dusk. A witness whose name is unpublished, reported a sighting to the Western Mail:

OBSERVATIONS FROM MUMBLES HEAD

A Swansea correspondent, who sends us his name and address privately, writes: - "The following observations may be of interest: Last night (Wednesday), being on Mumbles Head at dusk, I observed over the Channel in a S.S.E. direction, two elongated dark objects, apparently about 80 to 100 feet long, moving from N.W. to S.E. at a rapid rate.

After watching them intently for a few minutes I saw four, white flashes in quick succession from the most easterly object, which was immediately answered by three slower flashes from the other. I also distinctly heard three sharp signals, apparently from a bell, answered by two more.

The objects appeared to approach each other, and then disappeared, travelling away from my observation at a considerable speed."
