Two college students were returning home from their part-time work on Saturday December 28 1985 at 12.30am when they saw an object shoot across the sky. The pair were at Dyserth Crossroads in the Denbighshire village situated high above Rhyl and Prestatyn when the craft's movement attracted their eye.

The students said it was travelling at great speed from the direction of Meliden Quarry towards fields over the A547. As the pair were travelling by car they followed the direction of the object which appeared to have a yellow glow at its centre with green spikes of light. After some miles the craft stopped, hovered and disappeared behind some cloud before re-emerging and apparently flying close to the ground before seemingly landing in an area know an The Meadows just off the A547.

The friends plucked up the courage to stop at the scene of the landing and investigate further. But when they peered over hedging they could see nothing.

A week later on January 4 1986 at 8.30pm, in the neighbouring hamlet of Trelawnyd, four people claimed to have seen a cigar-shaped craft with bright red lights. Earlier on the same day a farmer says he saw a bright red sphere-like object hanging in the sky above trees in the village. He estimated it was some 40ft from one side to the other.

Meanwhile, on January 10 at 11.30pm two householders reported seeing an aerial display lasting more than two hours from their suburban street in Prestatyn.

p>They described a red sphere-like object which was joined by a "small shimmering thing" at which point both objects glowed brighter. They also reported seeing a red and green coloured rotating UFO which was joined some distance away by an oblong-craft.
