NEWSREADER:
Now, what do you make of this next story?
An investigation has begun into a claim that something strange came out of the skies and landed in the Welsh village of Broadhaven near Haverfordwest.
Whatever it was, was spotted three times by children from the local school, and now their reports are being investigated by the British Unidentified Flying Object Research Association.
Now the children say the object had a large dome, it was cigar-shaped and was silver in colour.
Well to find out more, I've just been on the phone to their headmaster, Mr Llewellyn:
HEADMASTER:
I know that 16 children saw it.
NEWSREADER:
And did they all see the same thing, do you think?
HEADMASTER:
There's a [...] similarity between all their descriptions. I got them to draw and write what they saw.
NEWSREADER:
And do you believe it?
HEADMASTER:
I believe that they saw something which is not common in the environment in which they saw it but whether they interpreted it correctly I wouldn't know.
NEWSREADER:
Quite a mystery. Well, from a Welsh school to a school of whales; they've run ashore in Florida, America and are now stranded on the beach there...

With memory clear, 77 the year
When the UFOs came to my fields
My herd wouldn’t stay, they stampeded away
Down 15% my milk yield
As winter came on and the grass was all gone
I wintered my herd in the shed
And what happened next left me stunned and perplexed
And totally messed with my head
It was 12 when they ended the herd I attended
And went in for a last cup of tea
As the kettle did sing, my phone it did ring
Seemed my neighbour was angry with me
My cows, so he said, had got out of their shed
And crop fields were trampling upon
They’d been eating away, half an hour he did say
And he wanted them now to be gone
I thought it a yarn but I ran to the barn
And the gate was still closed as before
But what I looked upon, every single cow gone
Shocked me to my very core
Not a moo, not a hoof-step, no muck on the road
The gates all fast shut on the way
Not a sound had been heard as my entire herd
Teleported a mile away
Each cow gone from home, but how did they roam
A whole mile, every cow, every calf
This journey to make, an hour it should take
Completed in minus a half
So this is the mystery in my herd’s strange history
The cows teleporting away
No word of a lie, til the moment I die
I’ll never forget that day

Creeping Up Behind You

(He stood) seven feet tall in his astro-boots
Breathing apparatus and a glowing silver suit
A black visor in the helmet hid his face
I knew he wasn't a member of the human race
He's creeping up behind you
He’s giving folk a fright
He's lurking in the shadows
In the darkness of night
He's creeping up behind you
He’s giving folk a fright
He’ll freak you out
By broad day-light
Don't tell me, I know it sounds far-fetched
He’s hanging in the sky, arms and legs outstretched
He walks through fences and levitates at will
He watches TV from my front window sill
Up on Stack Rocks deep in alien affairs
Ascending and descending on invisible stairs
Without his helmet he looks quite odd
Eyes of a fish, unblinking like a cod

“I was walking home towards Solva after having spent the evening with my girlfriend and the time was around 9pm. There was some scattered cloud about but some stars were visible. I’d reached Hendre Bridge and looking up I noticed a pear-shaped object in the sky. It was glowing and had an orange ring around it. I stopped by a mate's to tell them about what I'd seen, but they thought I was messing about and sent me on my way.
“Another half mile further on and about half an hour later, I was continuing my journey home when I felt that something didn’t seem right. Stopping at a gate, I realised I could no longer see the airfield lights from RAF Brawdy. As I looked across the field I saw that what had been blocking out the lights was a large black shape on the ground. It was pretty big, it took up a good bit of the field. Maybe about 20 feet high by 30 to 40 feet across. I could just see the top of it against the horizon like a dome, and it had a faint light on the outside of it.
“As I stood there watching, I decided to light a cigarette. At that moment I heard a noise from my extreme right that sort of sounded like someone walking on leaves, and turning about I saw a figure, a tall man, had come up beside me. And… I just felt afraid.
“I noticed it had very high cheekbones, and it had a suit on that looked transparent but wasn’t. I can’t explain that. There was a thing in its mouth. It was like the breathing apparatus that divers have. I didn’t notice any hair so it may have had a helmet on. And there were large eyes. I think I would describe them as a fish’s eyes.
“I'm afraid my reaction was to take a swing at it and then leg it.”
