Strange lights flashed over St Martin for nearly one hour

UFO experts are investigating possible reasons for mysterious flashes of light, which illuminated the night skies over Hengoed and St Martins for more than an hour last week.

People from Hengoed to St Martins reported the flashes, which lit up the sky overhead for around an hour between midnight and 1am last Wednesday, the flashes coming at regular intervals, each seeming to completely illuminate the night sky for a splitsecond.

Paul Conde of Hengoed, who watched the lights with his family said the bright flashes came at intervals of around seven to eight minutes, appearing briefly without any accompanying sound.

The noiseless bright white flashes of light were also reported in nearby St Martins, where witnesses described them as being too brief to be a flare and covering too much of the sky to be a mere firework, leading some to suspect some kind of electrical storm.


For those seeking a more unusual explanation however, these reports happen coincide with an unusually high number of UFO reports received by the area’s research unit in Shrewsbury.

Philip Hoyle, of the UFO Investigation and Research Unit in Shrewsbury, says high numbers of orange sphere reports have been received from the Llansanffraid area:

“Other witnesses are describing not spheres but cigar shaped craft with lights or windows along the side,” added Mr Hoyle who said he had spoken recently to a motorist driving from Llanfyllin to Llansanffraid who claimed to have seem a cigar shaped craft flying very low over his car.
