On June 8 in Wales, a police helicopter chased what was
described as a "saucer-shaped" UFO "with flashing lights" and
nearly collided with it, until the helicopter lost sight of the
craft and had to give up the chase because it ran low on
fuel. A spokesman 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."
The helicopter was awaiting landing clearance at MOD St.
Athan Military Base near Cardiff when the object came
hurtling up at them from below after narrowly missing a
military aircraft. The three man police helicopter crew is
described as "very experienced," so
they would certainly have recognized any kind of
conventional aircraft. Several people on the ground also saw
the object. BBC News reports that a retired Royal Airforce
pilot who
lives in the area spotted it out of the corner of his eye, then
was astonished when it changed direction in an instant, as
UFOs have long been reported doing. Another observer on the
ground described it as like "nothing he had seen before."
The Sun reports that the UFO headed straight for the
helicopter as the crew tried to land and says, "the pilot
banked sharply to avoid being hit, then launched into a high-
speed pursuit. But he was forced to give up the chase as the
helicopter?s fuel ran low?and the UFO escaped."
In the Register, Scott Snowden quotes a member of the local
police force as saying, "They are convinced it was a UFO. It
sounds far-fetched, but they know what they saw."
