88

6 – 7 JANUARY 1978 – SWANSEA BAY

Late evening. Husband and wife, Bill and Evelyn Saul, of Southdown Road, Aberavon, were at Margam around midnight when they saw an object in the sky.

Bill Saul: “I saw this brilliant phosphorescent glow travelling swiftly towards the Swansea area. My wife thought it looked rather like a tadpole in shape and I would agree. I hadn’t reported it to anyone until this morning.

There are always some people who treat it as a giggle and I waited to hear if anyone else had spotted what we saw.”

Bill was in his early 60s and is the steward at the Masonic Lodge in Forge Road, Port Talbot.
