DISC OVER USK RESERVOIR, TRECASTLE 2 JULY 2011
Approximately 2.45 AM. Clear sky no clouds.
Paul Rogers and Jade Mayor were on a camping and fishing trip to the Usk Reservoir near Trecastle, at the western end of the Brecon Beacons National Park. At around 2.45 AM on 2 July 2011, they were sitting next to a campfire chatting and watching their rods when a reflection in the water attracted Paul's attention.
He looked up to his left and saw an outline of a "saucer with several bright individual lights in a lateral line."
The disc-shaped object was hovering and moving left to right, and it was ascending and descending randomly quite high above the dam of the reservoir. It stopped and two "stems" of yellow light protruded from the top of the object and at the same time different parts of the valley around it were being lit up by a white strobe effect.
The craft then faded away and reappeared much closer, around the centre of the reservoir within a few seconds and continued to move about silently.
Paul said: "The movements were very sudden and almost too fast for my eyes to follow - it would then stop instantly. The whole time I was asking for reassurance off my partner and asked her to commentate each direction it was moving. This continued for what seemed a very long 15-20 mins before it faded away for good."
