8 JULY 1909 - LLANTARNAM, NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE

LLANTARNAM, NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE

Sighting,UFO,Cigar shape

A month or so ago South Wales was excited over the mysterious appearance and disappearance of a strange object in the heavens. That proved to be the wonderful aerial invention of Dr. Boyd. The secret only came to light a few days ago, proving the veracity of reports published in the "Evening Express".


Now there is a mystery in the air again. Some campers and others at Allt-Yr-Yn were startled on Thursday night by seeing a cigar-shaped object hovering over the Crindau and Llantarnam districts, where it remained for about half an hour, between nine o'clock and half-past nine. This story was communicated by Mr. W. G. Crawley.
