Tongues of flames

sparkler

Last updated: 21 July 2007

Neighbours at a coastal mobile home park tell of seeing a ball of light "whoosh" over their heads.

Photo for effect - not a UFO!

The pair likened the object to a gaint sparkler used by children on Bonfire's night which had two separate tongues of flames with red and yellow colours at their centre.

The account was given to independent ufologist Margaret Fry and supposedly happened on August 16 1992. Meanwhile, almost a year later several more residents at the same caravan park overlooked by Moelfre mountain, Conwy, reported to Margaret that they had seen two very bright "stars" passing overhead at which point they went off in separate directions.

About two minutes later another bright star-like object came into view and travelled low over the mountainside before it "vanished into thin air".

Finally, just before midnight on the same evening, August 29 1993, another similar object was seen travelling towards the mountain before heading off at a completely different angle.

Last night I was in bed awake at about 3am. I was looking out to the sky through my window and a star popped up from nowhere. There were other stars out but this one was brighter than the rest. The star started moving slowly to the right then it stopped for about 2 minuets in the same postion and then it moved back to the left where I first saw it then it moved up and down changing directions. I was lying with my head on the bed my head wasn't moving. I have seen many shooting stars it was nothing like that it just looked like a bright star. I was watching it for about half an hour maybe a little more then it just vanished. I was looking at it when it vanished. I didn't see any spark or any thing it just went out like a light. I never believed in anything like UFOs but now I am sure. It gave me goosepimples when I saw it moving. If someone has seen a similar thing please post.
