Date of Sighting: Saturday July 4th
Time: 10.30pm

Witness Statement: On entering Harlech Crescent we witnessed an orange sphere approximately 200 feet in the sky which was subsequently followed by at least 8 others at equal distance to each other. The leading sphere then changed to an angle of 45 degrees and shot off into cloud cover. The others subsequently followed the same path. Ms Lamb reported what we had seen to the police at Cardiff, Swansea Evening Post, The South Wales Echo and The Western Mail. Each contact dismissed what we had seen as chinese lanterns. However, we had just driven through a torrential shower in which, any cardboard lantern would have been destroyed. In a recorded sighting at Cardiff, the objects seen were small and oblong and darting about at just above roof level.

These were said to be Chinese lanterns, whereas, the objects we saw, were spherical and at an approximate height of 200 feet, appeared to be roughly the diameter of a football, and the entire object was blazing with light. There seemed to be nothing random in the path they were following.
