ST. ATHAN, VALE OF GLAMORGAN
Sighting,UFO,Saucer
About 1 AM.
The witness was driving a car with friends, on a country road parallel with the RAF base at St. Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan, heading north-west, away from the village. The road was edged by hedgerows. An object was seen hovering low (about 5-10 metres) over a field about 100 metres square on the left of the witnesses.
The object was described as being a gigantic diamond jewel-shaped object 'upturned with the point cut off flat edge down.' It was matt white in colour and stationary. It measured about the width of the field and about 5 metres in height. There were very bright spotlights coming out at various angles.
The witness said: '... during the sighting I was driving the car, I was so fascinated at the time that I was staring at the object not concentrating on the road. I slowed down but did not stop to get out and look closer, something just kept me driving. I also managed to cross my lane onto the other side of incoming traffic, but at this time of around 1 am there was no other cars.'
Duration of sighting: 30 seconds.
