Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Initially assumed they were stars, but all three flashed simultaneously. When they were spinning, they appeared to be spherical, and emanated a pinkish light. They were brighter than the other stars in the sky.

Size of Object(s)

Difficult to estimate as they were quite distant, but around 3 times bigger than your average star.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Lower than a commercial aeroplane I think.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Semi-rural. Outside the rear door of my home. No power plants or military bases around.

Full Description & Details

Around 7.10pm 6 miles from Swansea, I noticed what appeared to be stars in the sky. As I focused on the highest star, I noticed it was flashing, but the two below it (diagonally) were also flashing simultaneously. I was convinced they must be planes, but continued to watch them. The lowest in the sky continued to move downwards, whereas the second one followed it relatively slowly, before suddenly moving quickly after it. The highest 'star' remained in the same place, and, as I watched it, I suddenly felt as though it was watching me. At this moment, I felt slightly vulnerable, open, unnerved (too strong a word), but the overriding feelings of openness and excitement. Once I thought this, it began to 'spin' and a pinkish light emanated from it. The other two objects lower in the sky became visible again (behind two houses opposite) and all three objects spun and emanated the same light simultaneously. There was no trail (as in a plane), and no noise. Then all three disappeared very quickly. I'm not a UFO enthusiast, and have never witnessed anything like this before. Around 30 mins later, I noticed a plane moving from the direction where the objects had disappeared, with a bright red flashing light, and a number of white lights all around it. This was a plane which went over my house, and left a trail in the sky.



I'm scientifically trained and am logical and grounded. I like to think I'm critically open-minded and well adjusted.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Absolutely not. Weather balloons are extremely rare in this area, but to see 3 simultaneously?? It definitely was not an aeroplane. An aeroplane went over the house approximately 30 minutes after the sighting. Am beginning to wonder if it was the Ministry of Defence, as aeroplanes NEVER go directly over my house. This aeroplane was also a different size and shape, with different lighting that the average aeroplane, and it was flying lower than a typical commercial plane.

Witness Background

I'm a clinical psychologist. I have a PhD in psychology. I'm just completing a doctorate in clinical psychology, and am therefore trained to think logically and scientifically.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Open-minded about them. Have watched the odd TV programme here and there over the years, but definitely NOT an enthusiast.

Other Comments

May sound strange, but it was definitely an experience that was different to anything I've ever encountered.
