1044

Around 4.20 PM.

George Withrington, a pensioner and ex-RAF glider pilot, was in his garden in St. Mellons, reading a book. He spotted an object in the sky which he described as peculiar with lots of flashing lights:

"I was looking at an aeroplane overhead when I spotted this thing in the corner of my eye. It shifted direction very quickly, in the blink of an eye. I looked at it for quite a while. I was watching it for at least 10 minutes. It flew off towards the east, towards Newport."

He reported it to the police and was given an incident number.
