Sighting,Lights

Between 5 AM and 5.15 AM.


Mr. S. J. Yeates, of 49 Wallace Road, St. Thomas, Swansea, was getting up for work and saw through his bedroom window a moving object in the sky.


"It was not going too fast for the eye to follow. I called my wife who was equally surprised. I at once sighted my telescope on it and could see it was as bright as a star and moved from south to east to north."
