Exact date in 1976 not known - ignore date in panel.
Late night, clear sky.
Irene was 14 years old and living in a children's home on a housing estate in Penyrheol, Gorseinon (Gower View Road?) She saw an object through her bedroom window which she described as a hovering semi-circle of very bright white light. The home was in an elevated position and her window looked towards the bank of the River Loughor and she was transfixed and felt scared by the object. She watched it for about 10-15 minutes when suddenly the room went dark as the object disappeared. She found it difficult to speak to adults at the time and didn't tell anyone about her sighting.
She said she doesn't remember any noise from the object but it seemed to just disappear and from being very bright one second to being very dark the next.
