Initial data
At 14: 41, Lee threw a ball to his dog and was looking north-northeast when he noticed a strange object in the sky. He estimated that it was about 2,000 yards (1,800 m) from its location and at an altitude of about 2,000 feet (600 m).
The object was a dark gray metal disk. It floated perfectly still and seemed to be silent. Lee estimated its diameter to be about 50-75 feet (15-22.5 m). There were no footprints on the object.
Intrigued, Lee stared at the object, trying to figure out what it might be. A minute later, his wife, Alicia, returned from work.
When she went out into the garden, Lee pointed out the object to her, but she didn't have her glasses with her, so she couldn't see it. At this point, Lee decided to go inside for a moment to get his compact camera. When he returned 30 seconds later, the object was still present. He tried to take a larger picture, but the camera didn't focus on him, so he took a larger picture instead. He then took his eyes off the UFO for a moment to manually zoom in on the camera screen and show Alicia. When he looked up at the sky again, the object had disappeared.
It was a clear day, so there were no clouds or other objects for them to follow, they just weren't there. He and his wife continued to watch him, but the object did not appear again. Shortly afterwards, Lee contacted BBC Wales and sent them a picture, but received no response from them.
He told several people what had happened. They either didn't believe it, or they thought it was probably something ordinary, but they hadn't seen the photo, so they based their theories only on the description.
The photo is an original photo that Lee took of his garden. A UFO can be seen over the right edge of the building.

Summary: At 2.41pm Lee threw the ball for his dog to fetch and was looking to the North North East when he noticed a strange object in the sky. He estimated it to be about 2000 yards away from his location and at an altitude of about 2000 feet. The object appeared to be a dark grey metallic disc. It was hovering completely motionless and seemed to be silent. Lee estimates it was about 50-75 feet in diameter. There were no markings visible on the object. Intrigued, Lee stared at the object trying to figure out what it could be. A minute later his wife Alicia got home from work. When she came out into the garden Lee pointed the object out to her but she didn’t have her glasses with her so could not see it. At this point Lee decided to head indoors a moment to get his compact camera. When he returned outside 30 seconds later the object was still present. He tried to take a zoomed photograph but the camera wouldn’t focus on it, so instead he took a wide shot. He then momentarily took his eyes off the UFO to manually zoom in on it on the camera screen and show Alicia. When he looked back to the sky the object had vanished. It was a clear day so there was no clouds or other objects it could have moved behind, it was just gone. He and his wife continued to watch for it, but the object did not reappear. Soon afterwards Lee got in touch with BBC Wales and sent them the photograph, but did not hear back from them. He told a number of people about the sighting. They either did not believe him, or thought it was probably something conventional, but had not seen the photograph so were basing these theories on description alone.
