Following a report by a member of the public of two lights travelling across the sky, Detective Sergeant Ambrose Davies, of Gowerton Police Station observed a single white ball of flame.

It was much brighter than any star and after a few seconds was seen to break into two pieces.

A shower of reddish sparks were seen to the rear of the objects.

The officer ruled out planets and meteors stating that there were definitely two objects in the sky and that they were joined by some kind of tether.
