28 NOVEMBER 1977 - PEMBROKE

Brian Harnikel, aged fifteen, and his fourteen-year-old sister Catherine were walking across Orange Gardens, Pembroke just after 10 PM when they sighted a dome-like object in the sky, carrying three white lights.

Brian stated: 'The object was making its way very slowly in the direction of Freshwater East. It wasn't making any noise and to gauge the size I took a penny out of my pocket and held it at arm's length. It covered the UFO, which was at a great height, completely.'

Brian ran home to tell his brother Paul and together they watched the UFO for about thirty seconds until it went out of sight.

They got in touch with the police and later two policemen called on them for further details. This was the second time that these children had sighted a UFO, for together with their mother they had attempted earlier in the year to take photographs of an unidentified object which they had all seen making its way across the sky at a relatively low altitude.

Regrettably the photography was unsuccessful.
