Wales UFO sightings

A total of 33 reports of strange crafts in the sky were made to North Wales and Dyfed-Powys Police services since 2002. A third of these were in 2009.

Only five of these reports were explained as human activity, such as army training exercises or night lanterns.

One man described how his car engine stopped working upon seeing a round unknown craft in the sky above Aberdyfi Estuary along the west coast.

Another witness saw a UFO illuminated by three glowing green, triangular lights hover directly above their Colwyn Bay house last year before flying off.

The sightings show Welsh households are still looking to the skies in search of new forms of life.

But sceptics say people should think twice before claiming they have seen a real-life ET.

Former RAF electrical engineer Bill Bevan said he saw an alien aircraft on a clear night two years ago while in his back garden smoking a cigarette.

The 79-year-old said: "I saw a big, white disk hovering over a tree. It was about two thirds the size of the moon. It was a bright, shining light, and it disappeared in about four or five seconds.

I thought it must have been going up at a fair rate of knots."

Mr Bevan, of Builth Wells, Powys, quickly called his wife to come and see it, but it was gone by the time she got there.

He said: "It left me a bit shaken, but it left me so intrigued that I have been standing outside night after night to try to see it again."

Bill is adamant that he saw some form of UFO.

He said: "It fully convinced me that there is life out there somewhere. I saw it, it was there and it just disappeared, and until my death I will still say I saw what I saw. I hadn't been drinking by the way, because I dont drink."

Bill also said his late father revealed to him that he and his neighbour saw a UFO over two decades ago in the Rhondda Valley.

Bill said: "He was stood with his neighbour and across the other side of the valley they say a cigar-shaped object in the sky. He had never talked about it before because he didn't think people would believe him.

There's something out there there's no two ways about it."
