9.10 PM. Fine and dry clear night. Slight wind.

Husband and wife, Phil and Kris Prevel, and a friend, Gill Wood were in a lay-by on the A4067 overlooking Cray Reservoir in the Brecon Beacons. The planets and stars were becoming visible as it got dark.

They saw a bright object to the west 30 degrees above the horizon. It was like a small bright white light the size of a planet moving erratically before winking out. It reappeared and winked out repeatedly, to the left, right, above, below and diagonally in an erratic fashion. The only consistent thing was the winking on and off and appearance in a new position.

The witnesses also looked at the object through binoculars and all agreed that it was not a plane.

It did not travel across the sky at all, it was contained within a specific area (as if it were contained within a box or circle and couldn't move outside of it). It then just disappeared.

The witnesses also saw three satellites, planets, one helicopter, one shooting star. The Milky Way was also visible.

Duration of sighting: 2 or 3 minutes.
