Source: Daily Post It was 6.45pm on Friday February 15th, 1974, near the Berwyn mountain range in Wales, scores of residents reported massive tremors, strange lights in the sky and 'Men in Black' scouring the area after what many residents believe was a UFO had crashed that day. The incident would become known as the 'Welsh Roswell', some claimed that a UFO crashed into the mountain and that the Ministry of Defence apparently whisked the Alien bodies and the UFO debris off to a top-secret research base in Porton Down, Wiltshire. In May this year (2008) hundreds of MoD documents about UFO sightings were released but with none containing any details whatsoever about the Berwyn incident, reviving rumours of a cover-up. Retired gamekeeper Geraint Edwards, of Llandderfel, Denbighshire, has reopened the debate after claiming: "It was definitely a flying saucer. It was a pity I didn’t have a camera because it was there for at least 10 minutes, just hovering. We were on the way down to play darts when something caught our eye in the south-east, so we stopped. It looked like a rugger ball, but the ends of it were more pointy. When it took off, it just went like lightning on the same line as it hovered. It hovered back to the mountain, and (then it was) gone." The story featured in the documentary 'Britain's Closest Encounters' on the UK's Channel 5 on 2nd July. |
