28 DECEMBER 1977 – BRITON FERRY

Two petrochemical operators in BP Baglan Bay spotted a mushroom-shaped object, complete with flashing lights early in the morning as it hovered above Briton Ferry for about 20 minutes.

It was only after the report of what a group of boys in Briton Ferry saw during the evening came out, that the workers came forward.

“We put it down to a phenomenon, or as an optical illusion,” said one of the operators. “But what we saw is almost exactly the same as the boys reported. It can be best described as a jelly-fish type of thing which seemed to circulate in the air.

The lights were the same colour as the boys described it, only we did not see the door open. We just thought it fair to report that what we saw was the same as the boys saw.”
