New Year "UFO" mystery

12:40pm Sunday 10th January 2010 in News By Kirsty Maclagan

A CHARD man saw in the New Year with a mystery sighting in the skies above the town.

Grant Davies, of Old Town, claims he spotted a UFO after watching fireworks from Combe Beacon in the early hours of New Year’s Day.

He said: “My wife and I were driving down Snowdon Hill just after midnight when we saw a strange object dart across the sky.

“It was coming across from the back of Snowdon House and hovered along Tapstone Lane and Snowdon Heights.

“It went from a diamond shape to a bright circle and within a couple of minutes it had disappeared.”

Mr Davies, 36, believes the object was not linked to any late night celebrations in the area.

He said: “If it was a firework, why would it hover and then just vanish?

“I’ve never seen anything like it before – it was certainly a memorable way to mark the New Year.”

*WHAT do you think? Do UFOs exist or is it all a load of nonsense?

Greetings Earthlings. We may come in peace, but as a gesture of your goodwill, please leave 50 bottles of your Earth Beer at the end of Touchstone Lane this Friday night at 9pm, close to where you last saw our 'visiting space craft'. Otter Earth Beer is fine. And some cheese and onion crisps, please Earthlings. We will send our Earth Ambassador to collect your peace offering in another spaceship, disguised as an Audi A4 earth motor vehicle. If you do this we will share the technology of our spacecraft with you.
