Exact date in autumn not known - ignore '10/01' in date panel.
About 3 AM. Weather fine.
'Elliott' from Rhigos in the Neath Valley, was on the way to work at Teifi Pools in the Rheidol Valley (he worked for Welsh Water), driving alone in his works van. He was passing the Cray Reservoir on the A4067 in the Brecon Beacons, heading north.
As he came round a bend 'by the last house' he saw a glow on the left above trees. Looking closer he described a bright white object shaped like a 3D semi-circle or dome, with a flat bottom and curved top. It was about 20-30 feet across. The lower part was hidden by trees. It was stationary and not moving. He slowed down and drove along for 10-15 seconds while he looked at it.
Suddenly the object shot upwards in a second, without a sound. It seemed to get smaller as it shot up like it was 'sucked up'. After it disappeared everything went black again.
[Interestingly this is the same spot that huge bright orbs were seen in August 1991]
