Sian and Steve Drewson, together with their daughter and daughter's fiancee had spent Tuesday the 24th of July 2018 at Ffos Las Racecourse. At about 5.50 pm that day whilst waiting for a taxi to arrive outside the premises, they observed a small private helicopter take off from the racecourse and travel away in an Easterly direction.
Steve watched the helicopter completely disappear into the distance, then he noticed another object quite a way to the left of where the helicopter had been, but still in an easterly direction. It was at an elevation of some 60 degrees and a height of about 200 foot. The object appeared to be circular in shape and was of a greyish colour standing out well in the clear blue sunny sky.
There was no sound audible. There were birds in the sky but this was clearly no bird. It seemed to be both ascending and travelling away from him in a complete straight line in the general direction of Five Roads / Pontardulais.
He pointed the object out to Sian, who eventually could see it clearly as well. The other two persons present were also trying to spot the object in the sky, so Steve walked over to them and tried to point out to them where the object was, but it had suddenly just disappeared. This object was definitely not the helicopter, an aeroplane, or a bird.
