School run sighting

Prestatyn

Last updated: 01 November 2007

A journey home from school gave rise to a bizarre sighting on the Meliden to Prestatyn road, writes UFO investigator Margaret Fry.

It was a journey Mrs K took every school day as she drove her children home from their school in St Asaph. The road goes through farming land with no trees obscuring the view.

They were rounding a bend when they were confronted by a metallic craft with eight windows. It spanned the entire road, hovering still and silent about 30 feet above it. The top and bottom rim were red, with a kind of electrical fuzz. Apart from that the object was completely black.

The children yelled "It's a flying saucer" as they came to an abrupt halt. Their mother said "Rubbish, it's from a circus". Nevertheless, she got out and stood at the side of the car. She was astonished when another car, coming from Prestatyn, did not stop and passed right under the craft, although she yelled out at them, gestured and pointed.

Then the object moved in a leisurely fashion over the fields below and out towards sea. By now Mrs K realised it had to be an extra-terrestrial craft, so she drove at top speed to Prestatyn Police Station, expecting everyone to be out on the streets, talking about what they'd seen.

But to her astonishment nobody else had seen the incredible sight.

A word of warning to Ryan and anyone else wanting to release balloons into the air whether at night or in the daytime - balloons can kill our wildlife.

Re; the lights seen over Prestatyn 31/10/2007, it was Halloween and there was a lot of activity at the Ffrith Festival Gardens, mainly Chinese lanterns and fireworks, don't believe the nonsense about UFOs.

I was on Lido at the time and i did notice the red dots but it was the school at the end of town as they have let off a number of ballons at the annual event and because it was at night they attached little red reflective studs on them so they could watch them fly away in the dark

Meri Lloyd. Prestatyn
Whilst out trick or treating last evening I noticed a red circular moving light or lit object in the night sky appearing from the coast. Thinking it was a helicopter I took little notice until another followed behind it, then another and more kept appearing until there was a succession of eight or nine red moving lights flying in from the coast moving towards the south east. These "lights" stayed in the sky for over twenty minutes, a fact which surely rules out the possibility of them being firework related. My partner and a family friend (who were at home) and the children who I was accompanying all witnessed these equally spaced moving lights above Prestatyn. Did anyone else see them and can anyone explain them?

There could be an explanation as to why the occupants of the other vehicle did not see the ufo as observed by MrsK. The sighting lasted long enough for Mrsk to establish a description of the ufo but it could be that it was of a very short duration. If time is constant and flowing as Einstein predicts then any time travelling visitors would not be able to stop, but if they did stop they would need to stop time as well if only for an instance in order to observe where they are. It could be in MrsKs case that she was caught in the moment when the ufo jumped off the normal flow of time and she was temporarily trapped in two time experiences, the ufo time and the normal flow of time.To MrsK the other car was real but it might be a case of her experiencing two realities. If the ufo had stopped time, then time might also have stopped for MrsK. So if it was possible to step out of time, how much further would normal time have travelled when restored to MrsK..If time had stopped, if only momentarily then the car she saw was in a future event so it could not have seen the ufo because it was never there in the first place
