"It was a Tuesday, about 8.30pm, when I was sitting in my room watching television. All of a sudden, the walls of the house started to shake, then there was a deafening sound that felt as if something was on a collision course with the house!
A jet aeroplane flew past the house at such a low height that panes of glass started to tremble. I ducked down in fear of an actual crash it was that bad! When the plane passed, I toyed with the idea of taking a look outside at what it was.
After about a second, I dashed outside in the rain to see what was happening - was the plane going to crash? What I saw was unreal, I saw the plane chasing a ball of white light! The plane attempted to follow the object but its manoeuvreing capabilities were like nothing I ever witnessed!
The object which was pure white and didn't flash, banked quickly to the left to avoid the plane and then to the right, fading from view. What made this sighting more intriguing for me was the fact that a single fighter jet was travelling at night, in the rain to intercept another aircraft.
Planes are not allowed to descend lower than 200m in urban areas but this plane was so low it narrowly missed our chimney. I find it hard to accept that I witnessed an aircraft intercepting a UFO, but I can't explain what I saw! We have had reports of various sightings in our area, but I had never seen anything unusual till now. I was left feeling very uncomfortable at what I saw."

Three friends and I all saw some strange round lights which looked like balls of fire in the sky on Saturday 8th August, around 10.30 but these appeared over the harbour at Abersoch. There were four that we saw, one after the other and they all took the same trajectory from around Land and Sea area and then disappeared behind the yacht club headland and no, we hadn't been drinking! I have looked on the Abersoch website but nothing else has been reported. Surely someone else must have seen these?

Over the weekend, at about 10pm Sat & Sun some friends and I saw a 'UFO' coming in off the sea at Black Rock. It was a large orange/red ball of light, silent and fast moving, no other lights or noise. Being used to seeing the air-sea rescue helicopters I know that this was not a copter or a plane. We saw it both nights, did anyone else experience this?

Contrary to popular belief, the RAF are allowed down to 200 feet anywhere in Wales which is designated LFA7, Low Flying Area 7. They also fly in all weathers. The aircraft may very well been have following the jet exhaust of another aircraft, although this wouldn't explain the sharp manoeuvres you saw.

It was Saturday 20th Sept 2008 at around 830-9pm at shell Island Llanbedr. A strange light in the sky, it was quite far into the sky so it looked small but you could still make out the object. The only way to describe the object was it looked like a naked flame moving quickly through the sky. I followed the object with my eyes and watched as the object seemed to drop thousands of feet within a split second. It then proceeded to change course really fast, and I mean. really fast.. During this crazy stunt it seemed to have covered hundreds of miles of distance and it only took about 0.5 of a second.
it then made a huge curve and headed back into the direction it came from and then... just vanished in thin air.
I was sitting on the beach at the time, I thought I was the only person who saw it until I over heard some children nearby saying "wow omg did you see that, it just dissapeared into thin air" so this confirmed i had actually seen the object. There were no flashing beacons indicating any type of aircraft, and there was no sound or noise coming from the sky (and if you have ever been to shell island then you would know just how quiet it is at night there).
Ive ruled out the posibilitiss of sattelites, only bcus they cannot change course / direction or speed like this particular object did. I've heard stories of a lot of sightings on these parts. and its only when we were leaving the site the next day, I remembered the abandoned air field next to us... It was creepy, nothing there just all boarded up windows... and I thought to myself.. how strange... this site is common to see UFO's in the sky yet this air field / air base is "Empty".... Definitely something fishy going on if you ask me.
and the unmarked blacked out "military style" Vans that were parked close by aroused my suspicions even more.

When I was 16, I was on holiday at the Hafan y Mor holiday camp, caravan 16, and everthing weird happened! lights kept appearing and wind outside like a helicopter outside, but when we looked, It was definitely not a helicopter!

I saw a large bright light on Tues Oct 18th 2007 at between 8:30 and 9:00 pm. It was too big to be a star, and made no sound. I was in Felinheli, and the light appeared to be somewhere in the direction of Bangor. After about 15 seconds looking at it, it gradually got smaller and disappeared. A normal aircraft would have gone over the horizon, but this seemed to just get smaller and vanish, which suggests to me that it was moving away upwards.

About 18 months ago while sat on a beach between Rhosneigr & Aberfraw, at about 3am, myself and my friend sat watching 4 objects rising from the horizon (looking into the Island, not out to sea) they would hover, then from a standstill reach speeds which we know a normal aircraft cannot do. The objects would then turn at a 45 degree angle, then suddenly stop, we watched these lights for a good 3 hours and know it was UFOs, nothing we know of could manouevre like that.

Dafyn, Pwllheli again!!
UFO....Hmmm! More likely that the plane was chasing a target drone from DERA air base at Llanbedr (Shell Island). They have just retired the Jindivik pilotless aircraft used for this purpose and a new target system is now in use. My family used to be fishermen, once we recovered a whole fuselage of such a craft off Abererch, terrified we thought we had snagged a missile or torpedo and were forced to lay off outside the harbour until the harbourmaster allowed us back in!

I remember when I was young, seeing a large ball of light pass overhead. The thing is, there was a gang of us who saw it. I remember looking up, above the low cloud, I saw a travelling object, bright light.

Dyn cath anghenfil, the old stories of
a giant cat that roams cilan head on the
Lleyn. I saw a massive feral cat fitting
the descriptions many times in my youth
but haven't seen one for years, which is a real shame.

All of these aren't true, there's no such things as strange goings on, mind you in saying that I once tried that board where you ask spirits to come out and, you know what happened next, one nearly tried to kill me. All it did was put pressure on my chest and turned the room cold so I couldn't breathe.

I live in this town and spend a great deal of time outside at night and yet seen anything...i think people tend to see what they want to.

This weekend I stayed at a caravan site in Pwllheli and me, my mum, her boyfriend and other members of my family all felt like there was a ghostly presence in the caravan. We all changed personalities and my brother and the other male family members, who are normally very placid and calm, became very aggressive towards others especially the female family members. Me and my mum got trapped in the shower, at different points over the weekend. I heard a dog walking on the landing even though we had no dog and there weren't any dogs on the site. Also the window in my room kept steaming up even though the room was cold and no one had entered the room for ages! I am definitely not returning to that caravan site or Pwllheli again!

About the jet aircraft chasing a ufo in Pwllheli I have worked in Bangor for 11 years and sometimes travel at 05.30 in the mornings. I have seen a lot of so called ufos in that time so it is of no surprise to me. People think I am mad it's best not to talk about it.

Possibly not so much un-Welsh as Otherworldly and not unseen or unheard of, but lost and forgotten by the people. Don't worry about Mulder and Scully - what you need is a Derwydd.

But that was nothing to what things came out from the sea-caves of Criccieth yonder. All sorts of queer things,
things never seen or heard or written about, very strange, un-Welsh, utterly peculiar things.

A friend of mine claimed to see a ufo one night when she was driving home from Bangor. This person was so frightened by what she saw she had to stop the car and phone her dad. The ufo was very brightly lit and was moving in a way that this person had never seen before. I am wondering what date this happened to Reece in Pwllheli because wouldn't it be weird if it was the same night, Mulder and Scully where are you when we need you?
