SUBJECT: Welsh Radio Ham and triangular object. FILE: UFO2830

I was looking at a bulletin the other day regarding sightings
|
|
of UFO's in Mid Wales recently and it takes me back many years
|
|
to my VHF days. I think it was during a November evening, there
|
|
was a huge opening over europe on 2 metres. In those days I was
|
|
a bit hardier than now and I headed for a local hill called
|
|
the Blorenge with the portable kit.
|
|
|
|
I had spent a succesful couple of hours working the dx but by now
|
|
was starting to feel the cold. I decided to call it a night and
|
|
got out of the car to take down the portable mast.
|
|
|
|
On that occasion the sky was crystal clear and the stars were showing
|
|
well from this dark location. I saw an object to the north, fairly
|
|
low down near the horizon. It was glowing red and at first I
|
|
thought it was a planet such as Mars. I didnt take a lot
|
|
of notice of it at first, but somehow I kept looking back
|
|
at it whilst I was bringing the mast down.
|
|
|
|
However after about 5 minutes this object started to rise directly
|
|
up from the horizon, slowly at first. I began to think it must be
|
|
some sort of Helicopter, I soon changed my mind when it came
|
|
overhead in my direction, gaining speed as it approached.
|
|
I was able to get a good look at it and saw that it was triangular
|
|
in shape, with 3 red lights, one on each corner. It made a whooshing
|
|
noise as it sped overhead.
|
|
|
|
It then shot of out of sight at high speed and that was the last I saw of it.
|
|
No green men im afraid but something I cant account for. I didnt
|
|
report it because I know that most people that do so end
|
|
up being riduculed. I wonder if anyone else out on night
|
|
radio manouveres has seen anything like this. I think my timing
|
|
might have been wrong perhaps this object might have had two metres
|
|
on board. I look forward to any sensible replies.
