10.30 PM. Clear sky.

I. Sheen was with three friends, hiking down Pen-Y-Fan mountain in the dark. As they got about half way [not known which side of the mountain], one of the group noticed a bright circular light in the sky. They switched off their torches to have a clearer look. First they thought the light was a plane, then a shooting star, then a satellite. After a few seconds it quickly became clear to them that it was none of these.

The circular object was low in the sky, moving over the witness' heads at a steady pace, then suddenly stopped. It then dimmed and became more of a red glow before staring to move side to side, "like a pinball." The movement was very shaky and there was no sound. It then disappeared. Moments later it reappeared in the same place, but much smaller. It then shot across the sky over the witness' heads, "quicker than anything I have ever seen."
