1.20 AM. Calm dry night with no noticeable wind.

Michael Hopkins was home in Graigwen, Pontypridd:

"As I was locking my front door before going to bed, I heard a deep humming with a slight whistling sound that felt like it was going over my house. I quickly unlocked the door and went outside. Just passed over my house I could see three off-yellow lights in line with a flashing red light immediately below the middle yellow light, heading east toward Cefn Eglwysilan Mountain. It seemed to be the rear end of something but in the darkness no craft shape could be seen. It appeared to be around the altitude at which the police helicopter would be flying when passing over my house. I watched it until it disappeared over the mountain. The aircraft was not visible on flightradar24."
