Skilled Investigator
Here is an interesting article about UFOs being seen over the skies of Wales very recently, this is very interesting to me because my brother is claiming he saw a UFO in Swansea, Wales, last night, did anyone else see anything.

"‘UFOs are seen as a joke but it’s almost an absolute certainty they exist’

‘UFOs are seen as a joke but it’s almost an absolute certainty they exist’

If reports of UFO sightings are to be believed, we are not alone. Echo reporter LAURA WRIGHT delves into South Wales’ very own X Files...

SIGHTINGS of unidentified flying objects have soared in the last month, with at least two a week seen by airline pilots in South Wales.

Dancing lights, large craft and mysterious flashes are among dozens of UFOs sighted above Cardiff and the South Wales Valleys in the last few years.

And only four days ago, on the night of Christmas Day, a couple saw spherical orange lights in the sky above their home in the capital.

According to figures released under the Freedom of Information Act, the Ministry of Defence has looked into 13 reports of UFOs in South Wales in the past three years. Several other sightings have been posted on UFO websites but it is thought that many more go unreported.

David Coggins has been a UFO investigator for 30 years and says there has been a spate of sightings in recent months.

He said: “There have been lots of reports by airline pilots flying in and out of South Wales who are seeing a lot of unidentified craft on a frequent basis, one or two a week.

“Generally speaking, they are large triangular shaped objects. It’s not just during the night but in daylight as well.

“I’ve come across people who have seen UFOs very close up, from a distance of 12 feet.”

Just three weeks ago, Martin Dupres and two friends had a close encounter when they saw a strange light in the sky in Lisvane at 5pm on Tuesday, December 11.

Martin, 43, of Riverside, Cardiff, said: “I saw an extremely bright light come straight across the sky. Then it faded out but it might have sped up.

“It wasn’t a satellite or an aeroplane. This thing was not like that. The light shone towards my eyes then carried on. I’m curious, I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

There was another sighting of a UFO at 4am on September 9 in St Mellons, Cardiff. The witness saw an incredibly bright star but it suddenly started moving up and down and side to side swiftly and then flashing lights appeared around it like cameras.

One account comes from a Cardiff man left shaken after he saw three lights dancing around each other before flying away in April 2006.

He said: “I saw something that I never believed I would. I saw what at first I thought was a plane, until it changed direction at such an acute angle. At this point it was by two more lights – they were very blurry, orange in colour. They danced around each other and then moved off.

“I don’t make silly claims. Quite frankly this has shaken me considerably.”

UFO investigator Mr Coggins, 67, of Pontypridd, hypnotises people who have seen UFOs and then experienced periods of missing time.

Mr Coggins, who is featured in the alien encounter book Does It Rain In Other Dimensions, said: “Strange as it may seem, people who had seen a UFO close up have ended up on the crafts and while they’ve been on, strange things happen to them such as medical examinations.

“They don’t remember until they are hypnotised. One man in South Wales had lost one-and-a-half days. He recounted what had happened under hypnosis and when I played him back the tape, he broke down in tears and said ‘did that happen to me?’. It’s impossible not to believe in it.

“UFOs are seen as a joke but it’s almost an absolute certainty they exist and are visiting this earth on a regular basis.”

The MoD examines UFO reports to establish whether what was seen has any defence significance.

A spokeswoman said: “We believe that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be found for them if resources were diverted for this purpose.”"
 
Whereabouts in Swansea did your brother see his UFO? Do you have any details about its location, size, appearance, direction of travel, time of sighting, etc? I can see the whole of Swansea Bay and the city centre area from my house, and saw nothing unusual last night. However, I did see the police helicopter several times, a number of light aircraft, fireworks and some Thai lanterns. There are also a number of very tall, illuminated cranes dotted around the city at the moment, including one that displays red, yellow and green lights in various configurations.
 
He said he saw it on his way back home last night, which I think would have been in the early hours of the morning (probably something like 2 in the morning maybe later maybe earlier). He described a glowing white line zigzagging left, right, up and down before suddenly disappearing. I think this would have been over the Swansea bay area between town and mumbles. Perhaps he just had too much to drink and saw some fireworks, but he said that it didn't make a sound and he seemed sober enough to me. I could have got some of the story wrong, he quickly told me about this before brushing his teeth and going to bed. Perhaps he is having me on but he said he wasn't. No hard evidence, just his story.
 
I'm pretty sure there were fireworks whizzing around the seafront and the bay at that time. I was sitting on my windowsill, looking out to sea, whilst chatting on the phone, between midnight and about 02.45, and remember commenting that I thought it was illegal to set off fireworks at that time, even on New Year's Eve. There was also a boat in the bay, and people were setting fireworks off from its deck - and they were a good bit offshore, which might explain the lack of noise. That said, I've seen a couple of unusual objects over the bay, albeit of the lights in the sky variety.
 
Thanks for your input, perhaps it was a firework. Me and my brother (the same) saw something similar to what my brother sais he saw last night a few years ago in the same area, the major difference was this happened in the day.
