Edward McLean of Heol-Y-Mynydd, Ystrad, saw a spherical flying object above Gelli Mountain. He called his friend, Ken Stagg, of Pembroke Close, Ystrad, out of the fish and chip shop that Ken owned to see it.

They were able to view it for 7 minutes until it disappeared at high speed. Ken Stagg said it was a very large craft shaped like a dinner plate and pulsating with different coloured lights.
