27 JANUARY 2001 – COCKETT, SWANSEA

A 36-year-old supervisor, working the night shift at a local government-run home in Swansea, reported seeing something strange in the sky.

‘The residents were settled and I was watching television in the lounge,’ he said. ‘The curtains were ajar when my attention was brought to this object by the intensity of its light. I saw a bright emerald green globe with a pale green haze around it.

When it reached the summit of the hill it looked approximately half the size of a house. There was no sound to it whatsoever and later in the night we could hear planes flying overhead.

The sky was perfectly clear as it was a very frosty evening. I called to my colleagues just as the object moved extremely quickly over my location before gaining altitude and dropped out of sight over the hill at Cefn Coed. It was too late for my colleagues to catch even a glimpse of it.

I felt foolish. I am a sceptic, but have never seen anything like this before. Although I wanted to tell, I was worried people might make a big joke about it, but couldn’t help keep one eye out of the window for the remainder of my shift.’
