Welsh UFO Sightings 1954

7.15 PM. Mr W.G. Weeks, a photographer, of Lincoln Street, Canton, Cardiff said he saw "two silver balls" hovering in the sky after his wife drew his attention to them. He said he saw them the Friday before also (6 August) "at exactly the same time, I made a note of it." He said he saw the objects against a clear blue sky.

"They were a little farther apart than they were last week, they hovered in the sky for about four or five minutes and then made off in the general direction of Barry at a rapid speed."

Many other people in Lincoln Street and other streets looked up to see the 'saucers'.

The discs were not seen by the coastguards at Barry or Llantwit Major.

Shortly after two discs were seen over Cardiff, the RAF Meteorological Station at Rhoose issued the following statement:

"At 18.50 G.M.T. a bright white spherical object was sighted. Bearing 190 degrees, elevation about 7 degrees, visible for half a minute, being lost behind cloud. No obvious movement. The object was similar to a large white balloon."

The object at Rhoose was sighted 25 minutes after the two 'silver discs' were seen over Cardiff.

A strange blue light was seen in the sky over Llandaff by Mr. Spencer Thomas, a farmer of Gwernigeddrych Farm, Peterston.

Mr. Thomas was driving his car towards Cardiff, and was near the Star Inn.

"I thought it was a falling star at first, but then it levelled out over Whitchurch golf course and went away in a northerly direction. As it went away from me the light was flashing still the same colour, at intervals of about one second."

An officer at St. Athan RAF Station said that flying there ceased before nightfall, and they had no reports of anything unusual in the sky.

"On this particular evening when Jayne was 21, she and her boyfriend had driven out in his new car; they were parked by fields, in a lane by the sea. It was a clear evening (I was not told the boyfriend’s name). They were talking, when they both noticed a dark rolling mass of mist creeping up the fields towards them.

She felt quite alarmed and suggested they should make for home immediately, but he wanted to stay on. He went on talking as the mist which she was apprehensively watching, crept up and encased the car. At this stage, the boy exclaimed he could see bright lights and they were ships. “What ships” she said, “For God’s sake, let’s go”. He then edged very slowly along the lane, but he kept commenting on the ships with bright lights, but she did not want to look, and felt very irritated with him, for placing themselves in this frightening situation. She kept repeating, "Lets get home quickly."

They had gone into this lane on a clear evening at 7.20p.m and by the time they emerged on to the main road it was past 9.00p.m. The lane Ron and I motored on in a few minutes emerging on to the main road. Both Jayne and her boyfriend were aware of the time loss, the boy was very worried about it, as he kept saying “didn’t you see the very bright lights”. Her recollection is of being vaguely lifted from the car, but not with the boy. The boy was also taken and vaguely recalled this, but he did not go at the same moment as her. The mist had continued thick as they edged their way around, but once on the main road, it was immediately clear.

The following day the boy came over to collect her and show her his car. He was extremely upset that his car bodywork was ruined with many circular rings in threes towards the rear part. They then tried hard to recollect what had happened to them in the two missing hours. They did have vague misty flashes of recollections, but none that they could confirm with words, they seemed to be vaguely at the back of their minds. This was something they continued to do in the following weeks, when sometimes they would recall these flashes.

At this point, as we were near a very rocky beach, my dog Mattie elected to wander, and I was constantly being distracted so I am afraid I do not remember this part of the conversation. I was told what some of these flashes of memory were. If I remember the usual abduction scene there were some forms of examination. One thing I recall her saying was that she was taken before The Khan again. This name Khan was one she gave him in her mind, but as she did this first as a small child before the War, it should be remembered there was no television, Star Trek, etc. then at all. I don’t think people in the British Isles especially rural Wales concerned themselves much with tales from India then either.

The boyfriend was disturbed, deeply so, for many months after this incident. She again said she had to finally admit to herself the experiences she had had in childhood were real ones and connected to this.

At this stage of the interview Jayne was looking very strained and tired, she said again she was very sorry, she knew we had come a long way and had been very considerate with her, but she could talk no more. She then started walking slowly towards my husband and our car. So I asked after a bit, if this was the final abduction she had experienced. “No, but she and her boyfriend drifted apart possibly because of it”. But then she met her husband, they got married and she had a baby daughter. At the time she and her husband were out walking. They were “abducted into a craft.” “I am sorry I am too tired to go into it, it would entail a whole day’s telling” and apart from which she did not wish to think of it any more."
