A nice clear light summer's evening. Huw Evans gives a good account of a R.A.F. war time Hercules type plane, no markings, which appeared in front of them, he was with his wife and family. It crossed from left to right in front of the car at l00 feet off the ground flying fairly slowly. It started to turn right as if to fly down by Llanfihangel G.M. At this point, the whole aircraft was clearly visible with the back drop of the hill behind it, when it suddenly seemed to "vanish into thin air"!

The whole family have gone over the events of that evening over and over again, but still cannot come up with any explanations as to what they saw. It was a dark coloured craft with no markings, and was soundless. It was also the size of a war time Hercules plane.

Margaret Fry submitted this report to SPI Engimas #39.

The witness, 54 year old Brian Lomen, was very much affected after his sighting, suffering a rash and nausea for days afterward, as well as having pins and needles. The witness was wary of seeking medical help, fearing ridicule, only trusting UFO investigators. All of this was caused by Mr Lomen's sighting at l l.00am, as he walked over the Bangor to Holyhead bridge, watching the behaviour of a very strange cloud.

This cloud had a low rim beneath a dome, and its shape kept changing to a small round object, then elongating again as if it were made of dough, and this process was repeated continuously. As this strange object went overhead, Mr Lomen developed loud noises in his ears, and he fell to the ground feeling quite ill.

As he was on the ground, Mr Lomen saw another man coming in the opposite direction, who was also watching the object, and he too staggered and nearly fell. This other witness staggered past Mr Lomen, not acknowledging either Mr Lomen's presence, or the odd occurrence. Mr Lomen had witnessed a UFO before while working at Vauxhall's at Ellesmere Port, and now has taken a very keen interest in the subject.

Ellen Ellis was travelling in her car from Cerrigydrudion across the Denbigh Moors. She was with her family and they all saw a large light in the rear-view mirror following them. They all thought it was an ambulance at first. After a while the light rose up and went over their car and then vanished.

Ellen spoke about her sighting to Margaret Fry as well as the Denbighshire Free Press:

David Dunlevy was camping with two of his children, 6-year-old twins, Jonathan and Jamie. They were in a field near Furnace and had seen some shooting stars. 'Then we saw it. Jamie pointed it out to me. We had seen satellites, which move in a regular way, but this thing was zig-zagging backwards and forwards, in all kinds of patterns,' Source: South Wales Evening Post, 16 August 1994.

As the clipping makes clear, David had been a repeat experiencer from a young age:

On Friday 17th March 1995 the Denbighshire Press printed an account about a youth from a village called Chirk near Corwen. He had been on his cycle, returning home from seeing his girlfriend, about 8.50p.m. 

On the A5 between Llangollen and Corwen, there are high-forested mountains, rising steeply from the road. At one point there is a distinctive scree, with a maintenance hut or building just below it on the road, above all this is a reservoir. 

It was here the youth stopped to watch a long strange craft descending from the top and along the scree down to the road. It was what he could only describe as a long car, which when it hit the road, let off sparks in the air. It then came along the right hand side of the road below the forested area, and stopped opposite him where he was standing at the lay-by. 

There were eight Beings in this of varying heights 6ft 6inches to 5ft 7inches. They had different types of faces as humans do. Large foreheads, smaller or larger noses, thicker lips etc. They were dressed in leather thigh-length jackets. From the excellent drawings the youth did, they all looked middle-aged, to elderly. Two Beings got out and approached him and spoke to him in their own language, but it seemed to be conveyed to him that they had lost somebody, and required his help to locate him. 

The events after this were hazy for the youth, at one stage he seemed to think the whole ‘long car’ went up into the woods in the mountain above the road. The trees are densely packed there, so did it shrink to nothing in order to achieve this? 

The young man then found himself and his cycle 50 yards further along the road, and he noted it was 10.30p.m. he was feeling shaken and went into Llangollen to phone his mother. He had lost 1 hour 50 minutes he could not account for. This occurred in September 1994. 

I do not get this local newspaper, so the first I heard of it was through The Cheshire UFO Studies Group. Eric Morris is a psychiatric nurse, and his Group members and he thoroughly investigated the case. They felt that as this youth was an unsophisticated village boy he would not have invented such a story. He did not refer to these Beings as Aliens, but as strange men. 

Later at one of our three monthly Social Evenings, Eric came and gave the Welsh Federation of Independent Ufologists, North Wales branch a full account of what transpired. Ron Lalek one of the Investigators, now our WFIU representative in Flintshire, discussed this case with me in depth.  He subsequently saw this youth on a number of occasions, and believes this did happen to him and thought I should write about it. 

Gary Rowe, long time researcher and co-founder with me of the Welsh Federation, and I felt peeved that we had not been invited at the onset to investigate this with the Cheshire Group, for they had come over the border to visit this young man. 

Since the advent of the Internet, more UFO Conferences in major cities of Britain, and glossy UFO Magazines on bookstalls, Ufologists all over Britain have more access to other county cases. It should still be a courtesy to contact the local Investigators and inform them of what has occurred in their own backyard, and offer to conduct the investigation with them. 

Even if the witness or abductee do not wish to see more than the initial person contacted, the courtesy to inform the local investigator should be extended before rather than after the event.
