A spokesperson for South Wales Police said: "We can confirm the air support unit sighted an unusual aircraft. This was reported to the relevant
authorities for their investigation." Did the spokesperson believe it was a UFO? "They are convinced it was a UFO. It sounds far-fetched, but they know what they saw."
There are thousands of
reports of civilian sightings of UFOs in Britain. However, now there is evidence that even police officers and air traffic controllers see these objects. The latest incident comes after the mid-May disclosure of
secret files by the defence ministry, listing "official reports" of UFO sightings by policemen and airport officials. The witness accounts recorded on official forms were compiled by the ministry between
1978 and 2002. Another 150 files will be released over the next four years. Disclosed for the first time is a report from three experienced air traffic controllers who attempted to "talk in" a UFO that
landed on the runway before them. The incident occurred on April 19, 1984, at an East Anglian airfield, which was operating two runways called 22 and 27.
Others in the aviation industry also encountered
unidentified flying objects, including a Sea King helicopter crew who tracked two objects on their radar for 40 miles, traveling at almost one nautical mile per second, in September 1985.
