19th JANUARY 1983 - NIGHT OF THE TRIANGLES - FFORESTHALL, SWANSEA
FFORESTHALL, SWANSEA
Sighting, UFO, Triangle
Early Evening.
9-year-old Allan Crocombe lived at 17 Ffordd-Y-Brain in Fforesthall with his grandmother, and was on his way to his cousin's house nearby in Portmead, walking up Ffordd-Y-Brain. He'd only been out of his house for two minutes and something made him turn around. Covering at least four houses opposite his house, he saw two triangular-shaped craft very low in the sky. They were very large, he said 'football pitch' in size.' Some houses obscured his view of the craft, as they were so low and they were moving slowly and silently, with white lights. The lights were not flashing.
One triangle was larger than the other, which he thinks might have been because it was further away from him, and were in staggered formation. Many other people living in the area were out looking at the craft. Allan ran back home to tell his grandmother, "There's aliens!" whom he lived with and she went outside with him to see the craft also. The objects went over Ravenhill Park to the south, and out of sight.
