4 FEBRUARY 2012 - OFF BURRY HOLMS, GOWER

Approximately 11 pm. Calm, moonlit night.

Mr H and his partner were having a night time walk at Rhosilli, Gower. Visibility was good as they could see right across Rhosilli Bay towards Pembrey.

The couple had walked down the path which leads from Rhosilli village onto the beach at the south end of the bay.

'We had just sat down on the steps looking north-northwest when we saw something flying quite slow & low across the bay in a west to east direction. It was a bright light approx 100ft above the water. There was no sound which I thought strange.

At first I thought it must have been car headlights on the far shore but when I looked at Google Maps I realised it couldn't have been because we were looking in the direction of Pembrey Sands. It wasn't a boat mast light either because we could see the water, there were no boats around at the time. It was just a white light...no leading / tail lights...and no discernable shape to it.

We watched it for less than a minute before losing sight of it as it went around the headland moving up the estuary at the north end of the bay. Having looked at the moon phases on Google back to Feb 2012 it must have been Sat 4th Feb when we had the sighting.' Source: SUFON Files: email from witness 29 April 2017.
