Initial data
23 January 1974 in Llandrillo, North Wales (United Kingdom) an unusual event occurred .
On a winter night, many villagers heard a terrible noise, and the first thing that came to mind was that there was some kind of explosion.
When some of the residents went outside to see what happened, they were struck by the scene of blue and orange lights at mount Kader Bronwen.
From the testimony of witnesses and the press the following explanation came the next day:
"A few minutes after 20:30 there was a strong explosion. According to various sources, this was preceded, according to some sources, by two or three minutes of a strong earth tremor, similar to an earthquake of medium strength - items inside the houses were knocked off the shelves."
The scenario is very similar to the crash in Kecksburg, the authorities rushed to the scene. First the police, then the staff Royal air force . Immediately, the area around the crash site was cordoned off and no one was allowed to enter.
This operation seemed unnecessary - the area is so remote and uninhabited. These search and rescue operations lasted several days in the Berwin mountains.
One witness who worked at a hotel in Bala said that a group of men arrived at the hotel and stayed there for several days. They took part in operations at the crash site, but declined to answer any questions about activities there.
One of the most compelling accounts of events in Wales comes from a woman who worked as a nurse from Llanderfel.
Local police asked her to help in a plane crash near her home. After packing up her belongings and having no one to look after her teenage daughters, she took them with her to the location indicated by the police.
She was driving on B4391, which runs from the Ball of Llangynog. The road was almost deserted, it was at 22:00 on a cold winter night. As she climbed the mountain, she was surprised by what she saw next ...
There was an object "completely intact", large, round and glowing orange. She and her two daughters were several hundred feet away. She couldn't be mistaken about what she saw, a UFO.
She could also see police and military personnel who were much closer to the UFO. They ordered her to leave the place, even after she explained why she was there.
Fearing for her own safety and that of her daughters, she left without protest. Authorities escorted her from the scene.
After that, the roads around the unusual object remained closed for several days. The nurse spoke to some of the local shepherds, who complained that they were not even allowed to graze their flocks.
She and others were convinced that the military and government agencies were covering up what actually happened on January 23, 1974, near the Berwin mountains.
Was the explosion a mechanical failure of the glowing orange ship's equipment, or was it a UFO crash? We may never know for sure.
Original news
On the 23rd of January, 1974, an extraordinary event took place in Llandrillo, North Wales, United Kingdom.
On a winter’s night, a great terrible noise was heard by many of the village, and the first thing that came to mind was that there had been an explosion of some type.
As some of the villagers went outside to see what had occurred, they were amazed by the scene of blue and orange lights near the mountain of Cader Bronwen.
From witness statements, and the next day’s press, came this explanation, “There was a huge explosion a few minutes after 8:30 PM. From various accounts, this preceded, some say by up to two or three minutes, a violent shaking of the ground, like a medium-sized earthquake – objects inside houses were knocked off shelves.”
In a very similar scenario to the Kecksburg crash, authorities rushed to the scene; police first, followed by Royal Air Force personnel. Immediately, the area around the crash was cordoned off with nobody allowed to enter.
This operation seemed like overkill; the area being so remote, and uninhabited. This search and rescue lasted for several days in the Berwyn Mountains.
One witness, who was working at a hotel in Bala, stated that a group of men had arrived at the hotel, and stayed several days. They were involved in the operations at the crash site, but refused to answer any questions about the activities there.
One of the most compelling accounts of the events in Wales came from a lady who was a nurse living at Llanderfel.
She was asked by local police to assist in a plane crash near her house. Gathering her things together, and not having any one to watch her teenage daughters, she took them with her to the location given by the police.
She was driving on B4391, which goes from Bala to Llangynog. The road was nearly deserted, being at 10:00 PM on a cold, wintry night. As she proceeded up into the mountains, she was astonished at what she saw next…
There was an object “quite intact” which was large, circular, and glowing an orange color. Her and her two daughters were within a few hundred feet of it. She could not be mistaken at what she saw, a UFO.
She could also see police and military personnel, which were much closer to the UFO. They instructed her to leave the area, even after she explained why she was there.
Afraid for her and her daughters’ safety, she left without argument. Authorities escorted her from the site.
The roads around the site of the unusual object stayed closed for a number of days afterwards. The nurse talked to some of the local shepherds who complained that they were not even allowed to tend their flocks.
She and others were convinced of a military and governmental cover up of what really happened on January 23, 1974 near the Berwyn Mountains.
Was the explosion a mechanical failure of the orange glowing craft, or did another UFO crash. We may never know for certain.
