BETWEEN SPRING AND AUTUMN 2005 – PENNARD

Date is unknown but was not winter. About 2 AM on a clear cloudless night, a woman aged 72, of Cardiff, was going to bed whilst visiting her mother in Beaufort Gardens, Kittle. Looking out of her bedroom window, which faces west across fields towards Pennard, she saw a cigar-shaped object, hovering horizontally, above trees on the horizon, about a mile away. It was motionless at an elevation of about 45 degrees over the Pennard area, possibly in the vicinity of the castle and golf course.

It was metallic grey in colour and had a sheene to it like dull stainless steel, and reflected the light of the moon, which was positioned to the right of the object. There were no lights showing from the object. Its size she compared to 1/3rd the length of a thumb at arm’s length, and it had curved ends.

She thought, “Am I seeing things?” and stood at the window in her nightie watching it for 20 minutes. There was no sound apparent, but she had been aware of a flock of sheep bleating during the night, which was unusual, and she felt that this was somehow connected.

Suddenly and without warning the object shot up vertically, staying at a horizontal attitude, very quickly, as if ‘sucked up into the sky’, again with no noise. She said she watched it get smaller and smaller as it went up.

The witness now lives at the house, her mother having passed away some years ago.
