Description of the case
7TH OCTOBER 2010 LOUGHOR ESTUARY, NORTH GOWER, SOUTH WALES UK
Time: Between 8 PM and 9 PM - Dark, Dry, Cloudy
Duration: 1 Hour
Witnesses: Jonathan Davies, wife and daughter
We lived in the small village of Landimore on the North Gower coast, our house was at the top of the hill as you enter the village, we overlooked without obstruction the beautiful Loughor Estuary, across the estuary from Burryport and Llanelli.
It was around 8pm, Dark it was not raining but it was overcast, you could not see any stars, and the cloud level was low.
My daughter who was 2 years old at the time was standing pointing out the conservatory window saying ‘bright’.
I walked over and took a look, hovering in the sky next to my neighbours large tree, at the back right of the tennis court there was a large egg shape orange ORB
I will describe it as like a small sun, and it was as bright as the sun but did not hurt my eyes, it was to the east of my house.
My home was the long barn at the bottom of the pic, my neighbours tennis court where the orb was 1st seen
At the time I had thought the tide was in over the salt marsh but I think but I might have been wrong about this, as it was dark and the pics I took do not show any water reflection.
After being stationary for a few moments the object shot downwards and to the right and it landed, it happened and moved so fast I thought it had crashed or was in trouble, there was no sound.
Then the bright orange light went out and was replaced by a much smaller light blue colour but every few seconds I'd say at 5 second intervals it would emit massive pulsing flashes of various colours and the colours were very very bright, they were as bright like a light house, the colours kept changing Green, Red, Orange, Blue, White -
I had binoculars and I had to take my eyes away from them every time the colours changed as the flashes were so bright, I remember saying wow my god every time they changed, as they were so shocking to watch.
Not sure if this was a pic taken of the object on the ground or of the approaching helicopter
This all happened for over an hour. I took pictures with a new camera I had just bought for use for my business, I had not yet learned how to use it and was not then aware it had a video function (idiot).
About 15 minutes after it arrived another similar but much larger object appeared, it was bright white and round - it was opposite to me on the other side of the coast and above Burryport / Llanelli (see pic below) the sky was overcast so it was not stars and not Chinese lanterns as this object was very large and stayed in same position for long periods + it was white coloured.

This is the white object that appeared over and between Burryport/Llanelli - below were the street lights and it was below cloud level.
After lots of massive flashes of various color's the object changed from an orange orb into this blue object and it stayed that color
Once the original object had landed, I heard what I thought was a twin-rotor helicopter a chinook very noisy, it came from the direction of Gowerton to the north, this headed very low towards the object, it had 2 lights on it, a red and a white light these were steady lights, not blinking, the helicopter came right up to the object that was now blue, approaching quite slowly and then when it got just to the right of it a very straight beam of light passed between the 2 objects, but as soon as the light reached the 1st object the beam went out and the helicopter vanished and so did the sound, only to reappear where it had originally appeared miles inland to the north this happened at least 8 or 9 times, it was very strange.
Note: In my original report to SUFON I said this happened 5 times, it was such a weird thing and I felt stupid saying a helicopter was vanishing so underplayed this as was embarrassed enough discussing the sighting as had never felt comfortable with discussing my interactions.
Halfway through I went upstairs and dragged my wife out of the shower so she could see what I had been watching - she looked through the binoculars and said 'weird' but has zero interest in this topic so that was the extent of her interest.
Pic of the fake vanishing helicopter
I have thought about this since I believe the helicopter was used as a distraction for anyone watching the original landed craft, and I think the helicopter was not real and maybe was a type of holographic image with sound, I also think the landed craft was in some sort of difficulty and the fake helicopter was simply used to distract, I believe I was witnessing a rescue operation of a UFO.
The Recovery
I had been looking to the north and the east and had missed another object that had come in from the south on my left.
A green-coloured (Emmerald Green) craft came in from the south (direction of the sea) and seemed to be on a rescue mission for the landed object, as it got close to the blue landed object it shone a sort of light that wrapped around them both, they then both started to move to the south still very low to the ground, as they moved away this all came to an end and the large white object hoovering over Llanelli / Burryport vanished at the same time, they helicopter also vanished and did not return.

That night I phoned the police and asked if they were aware of any crash or had they had any other reports of the incident they said no other reports and it was not their helicopter and they had no other reports of anything strange in the area., The next morning I contacted the coast guard and had the same response as the police, I also contacted the two local air bases at Pembrey and St. Athan, both bases close at 5.30 pm and they said nothing to do with them finally I contacted Swansea airport and they also knew nothing and were closed during the incident.
Below is a picture of Weobley Castle, on the left you can see a track going out onto the marsh, this is where the object landed
As a follow up a few weeks after this all happened I went to the local castle and spoke with the farmer who held the key to the locked gate over the track to the causeway, and he told me that he had not opened it for anybody ever as there was no need to and it was private land, the gate was padlocked! He was very surprised to hear what I told him about the black vans and the men who I had seen the next day using what I thought were metal detectors.
You will see the causeway (track) going out onto the marshland this is what the vans travelled on that I will describe seeing, you will see the track goes to the castle this is where the gates are locked to the road, and I confirm I myself found these locked when I went to the castle with my wife for a visit and this was when we found out from the farmer that the gates are always locked.
I worked from home and the office overlooked where the UFO landed, the next day after this all happened I watched two black vans on the causeway at the approximate location where the object had landed, 3 or 4 men seemed to be searching around the area and I had the impression they were using metal detectors.
This was very unusual in itself because in 2 years of living at the property I had very rarely seen anyone in that remote area and only ever seen the farmer a few times who had salt marsh sheep/lambs on the marshland when the tide was out.
At the time this happened I emailed some pictures and gave the description of the case to Nick Pope who answered the phone for the UFO desk at the Ministry of Defence, I was unaware he had already left that job. He replied and said the pictures are baffling and intriguing and asked me to get them analysed with the BUFORA which I did but never had a reply.
There are a lot more details to add to this outline, there is a video presentation below where I give those interested much more information - this landing did not end after 1hr there were things going on for 4 days afterwards that were related.
The Swansea and Gower area of Wales (The darker red area in the south) has a very strong magnetic anomaly
A full presentation on this event and others I have experienced
I was asked by SUFON Swansea UFO Network to come and give a presentation on this case and the other things I have seen and been involved with throughout my life, below is my 1st and only presentation - apologies it's not very slick and polished but it will give you an idea of the rest of the things that happened over the course of 4 days all related to this landing and also show you the rest of the pictures I took that night.
If you were a witness to this event please contact me or SUFON.co.uk
