Maerdy, South Wales-late 80′s

Location of Sighting: Maerdy, South Wales
Date of Sighting: late 80′s
Time: approx 9pm
Witness Name: Paul Hemming

Witness Statement: Its taken me years to talk about this. I was in the car with my parents and sister travelling home from my grandparents. We travelled up from Ferndale to head over the mountain back to Aberdare it was about 9pm and it was dark with no clouds in the sky. Like clockwork we made the same journey every Sunday. We dropped down the hill in Maerdy towards the mountain road, at the time the bridge over the river was being strengthened so we had to stop for some temporary traffic lights. Whilst sat there my dad looked out of the driver side window down the valley back towards Ferndale, he said look at those lights, so we all looked and saw what looked to be like two car lights above the mountain they were stationary at first but within a few seconds started to move along the mountain line in our direction. Instantly my dad tried to make sense of it and said that it was probably a helicopter checking cables etc.. With that the lights changed to Green so we headed up the mountain, I heard my mother tell my dad to slow down, he said we might see what ever it was when we got to the top so he kept his foot down. We got to the last right hand bend just before the carpark on the right, there is this small peak there, we pulled over and with that for some reason both my Dad and I without speaking just got out of the car, by now my sister was screaming and my mother was telling us to get back in, we both just stood the in a trance within a few seconds the two lights ascended over the peak and kept moving towards us, there was absolutely no sound at all, the object which I still fail to describe in detail came over the top of us and was travelling west, I can recall looking directly above me and seeing a mass that reminds me of the size of a football pitch! The object passed over us and just dissapeared. We got back in the car and drove home. Still today years later we can all recall that night as though it happened just days ago!
