Report in the 'Weekly News':
The unidentified flying object reported to have been seen over parts of Britain on Tuesday night (Sept 7th) was also noticed by a number of Llanfairfechan residents, among them Mr and Mrs E. C. Williams, and Mr J. C. Griffiths, a teacher at Llandudno.
"We saw an oval shaped white light rather like the beam of a car headlamp in foggy weather moving in a north westerly direction over the Irish Sea," aid Mr Williams. The light was partially obscured by haze, he added, and they watched it for between 20 and 30 minutes as it slowly moved away.
One explanation of the phenomena is that it might have been the reflection of light on a cloud, but Mr Williams disagrees. "It was an oval light and it never varied in shape," he insisted. Several schoolboys on the beach also saw it.
