In April 1997, in Penarth, two unidentified flying objects were reported. Witnesses described two extremely bright crafts with no clear shape, oscillating in an elliptical pattern before splitting into opposite directions. The sighting occurred between 22:00 and 23:00 from the local marina and lasted about two minutes. Weather conditions were clear, with no clouds or visual obstructions. Although no sounds or smells were identified, observers noted the crafts were half a mile away and moved in an unusual manner. Reports were submitted to military authorities, and a formal response was requested.
