10.15 PM. Patchy cloud, showers.

Lin Cullen was having a cigarette break from her workplace in Cwmafan ,and was standing at the rear of the premises on Heol Jiwbili, talking to her husband on her mobile phone. She saw what she thought at first was a 'bright star' in a clear patch of sky, looking up the valley (north-east), but then noticed that it was moving up and down, at an elevation of 50 degrees and at a high altitude. It was making random movements in different directions, and periodically stopping and standing still.

There was no sound from the object, and no flashing lights. She gave her husband a running commentary on what she was seeing.

This went on for a couple of minutes, then another light appeared to the right of it, a pinpoint at first, but then growing bigger, becoming the same size as the first one. It then too started making the same movements as the first one, the two lights moving around together randomly. The first light then moved upwards and disappeared.

Lin went into her workplace to get a camera, but when she came back out the sky where the lights were had clouded over.

This sighting occurred in the same place as Lin's previous sighting of a similar object on 27 July 2016.
