23/24 OCTOBER 1982 - BETTWS, GWENT

About two hours after the UFO sighting in Cwmbran, John and Rosemary Clarke, of Frome Walk, Bettws, reported to the police that a saucer-shaped object with red, green and blue lights had travelled from east Newport towards Cwmbran.

John Clarke said: "I first thought that it was an aircraft at around ten thousand feet, but having been trained in aircraft recognition while serving in the Army, I realised that it was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was a huge saucer-shaped object, perhaps two hundred feet across, with a blue flashing light and a steady green light at the top."

His wife, Rosemary said, "It was the astonishing size that impressed me."

A few minutes later it was seen by Marion Mason (see other report).
