Witness of Wales UFO Crash

Monday April 28, 2008
According to the Denbighshire Free Press, a very important eyewitness to a UFO event has come forward with important information about the 1974 UFO Crash in the Berwyn Mountains in Wales.

According to the newspaper, the testimony is part of the upcoming Ministry of Defence's release of more UFO files.

The January, 23, incident began as multiple witnesses phoned authorities, reporting what they saw as strange formations of green lights in the sky. At exactly 8:38 PM, something crashed into the mountains causing a 4.5 reading on the Richter scale. Initial reports of the incident mentioned a nurse who lived near the scene. She stated that a UFO "the size of the Albert Hall" had hit the mountains.

As of now, the report is excluded to those without a paid subscription to the paper, but I'm sure someone will release the entire nurse's interview. I know I am looking forward to seeing how close her current statement matches earlier reports of the crash. UFO crash reports are always suspect, but when you have an eyewitness, that's a different ball game altogether.

The website www.walesindex.co.uk/pages/1760_624.htmlapparently has quotes from original witnesses; that is, primary sources. Another good retelling of the story quotes from the nurse saying that the object was the size of Albert Hall in London(Slemen, Tom. “Berwyn Mountains UFO Crash”). Albert Hall is an oval building measuring 272′ X 238′ X 135′in height. That’s big. I can imagine how the ruckus affected a small, rural, Welsh town. Looking forward to some sense of disclosure - if we get it. Now we know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. Sorry, couldn’t resist quoting A Day in a Life.

I always enjoy the comments part of Billy’s UFO releases. Particularly, I am beginning to appreciate the ever-present comments of Chance Metz. I now call this part of the newsletter, “Comments by Chance”. His, (or her) comments are sometimes confusing, often amusing, but always right on the subject and obviously very dedicated to Billy’s messages. Chance Metz is a straight arrow.

It’s reports like this one, the Kecksburg crash, and others from small rural areas that intrigue me most. People in those areas seem to be less urbane and more likely simply to report their experience as best they can recall it. They aren’t looking for notoriety - they just are trying to describe something that is way out of their normal daily experiences.

The fact that there was a seismic disturbance associated with the apparent crash of this object (or these objects) completely blows away any theories about swamp gas or plasma or mis-identification of Venus. We have proof that something of rather respectable mass did impact the ground at a specific place at a specific time. That is hard evidence that cannot be disputed.

We also have witnesses who stated that they saw something BIG go down, and the seismic recording validates what they are saying.

This is one case which I strongly believe to be substantive, and which very well may be the account of an ET spacecraft coming to grief in the hills of Wales. More intense investigation is definitely warranted here.

Hi,

I’m a bit disturbed to note that this site is still publishing stuff that has long been proven to be wrong and/or out of date.

Tom Slemen a so called Paranormal expert writes for several local papers on ghosts, spirits, after-life and UFOs. He is not an expert. He is a compulsive liar. He creates or enhances stories to improve his readership.

The story run by the Denbighshire Free Press in North Wales was a front page headline and almost word for word, was taken from Tom Slemen’s webpage. As a result, the nurse Mrs Pat Evans threatened to sue the paper.

Nothing as described by Slemen is true. And it is idiots like him who have forced Mrs evans to live abroad, though her two daughters Diane and Tina still live locally in this part of North Wales.

I have an overview of this case on my website and I’m just completing a chapter on the Berwyn Mountain Incident which I was invited to write for a well known veteren UFO author. Recently, I spent two days filming for a documentary series running on Channel 5 here in the UK. The company Firefly Productions was commissioned by Channel 5 to cover ‘Britain’s Closest Encounters’. Mrs Evans and daughters refused to cooperate as did BUFORA. I did cooperate but the Commissioning Editor at Channel 5 edited me and all my footage out of the programme. Indeed, every UFO buff was edited out and only debunkers comments were aired.

Even testimony from witnesses who have no interest in UFOs was edited out. The programme on the Berwyn case was a whitewash.

Recent Ministry of Defence files on UFOs released had not a single mention of the Berwyn Incident, further fuelling speculation that the incident is so Top Secret that files just will not be admitted to.

Pat Evans stumbled upon her Object by pure chance, having been duped by the Police. I presented the evidence of this to the Firefly film team. She was not requested to go to the village of Llandrillo, 3 miles from her own village of Llandderfel by the Police. She did not speak to Police until just before 9.30 pm. The Police were already in a farm yard at 9.10 pm comandeering a Land Rover to go up Cader Bronwen in search of a suspected plane crash, and some of them actually passed through the Evans’ village on route, yet, the Police did not direct Mrs Evans and HER offer of help to Llandrillo below Cader Bronwen Mountain. She went on the B 4391 of her own volition.

She saw the Object which was four miles from Llandrillo. It was not a UFO to her as she neither saw it land or depart, though others did see that.

She did not meet any Police or military on that road and she was not ordered away from anywhere. Nor did she she alien bodies amidst debris as related by Tom Slemen.

UFO fanatics made this up some ten years later. An earth tremor occured at 8.38 with its epicentre under the town of Bala. Residents in Llandrillo came out of their homes and saw lights over a ridge on Cader Bronwen. These belonged to local hunters pursuing rabbits and hares. An explosion sound with the tremor made local Police assume a plane had impacted the slopes above Llandrillo.

A search revealed nothing. The reason for that, is that the search was on the wrong mountain in the Range. Everyone was searching Cader Bronwen and Mrs Evans’ Object was on a sub-slope of Cader Berwyn Mountain.

Some fanatical UFO enthusiasts with serious mindsets in later years, turned the explosion sound into an impacting UFO which then caused a seismic event. The epicentre was 10 miles from the search area, a fact conveniently left out of the worst UFO literature on this event by Ufology buffs and debunkers.

The simple reality is, that a UFO was down on Cader Berwyn, possibly studying the forthcoming seismic event - UFO reports exist the world over of appearances at natural events & disasters - The Authorities knew a UFO was down ’somewhere’ on the Range and homed in on Cader Bronwen, when Police reported an event above Llandrillo. Of course, it was the wrong place.

Mrs Evans has never been interviewed by the Military or Police about what she saw and any documents stating otherwise are false. No TV programme has ever honestly and truthfully conveyed her story and that is why she no longer cooperates with the Media.

It is my current belief that the British Government has sponsored the recent Channel 5 series to do nothing but actually portray every event covered as a non-event, to counter the surge in quality sightings of extra terrestrial craft over the UK of late. That is why every single Ufologist approached by Firefly Productions has been erased from the aired programmes. Also, it is a way of discovering just what evidence certain UFO enthusiasts and investigators have in relation to each case.

Hopefully, this website will update the data on this case to something more useful and truthful. I did raise this issue by email with Mr Booth about 2 and a half years ago, but nothing has happened and the same stuff is on his website.

The only people with more info’ on this case than me, is the UK Government and its Military.

The Denbighshire Free Press is a North Wales newspaper with a local distribution. May I point out, that it can be purchased in any newsagent shop here and there is no subscription to it or any part of it.

I’ve mentioned elsewhere on this site that the District Nurse mentioned, Mrs Pat Evans threatened the said newspaper with legal action for misquoting her.

The files released recently by the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) did not include a single reference to the Berwyn Mountain UFO Incident. That was not surprising as the files released, were previously denied for years by the MoD that they even existed. Out of all the reports that were collated and ultimately released to the Public, over 130 had been classified Top Secret. Not bad for a subject the UK military does not recognise or takes an interest in. 33 of those classified incidents were in Wales, yet, incredibly, the Berwyn Mountain event was missing.

There was a genuine earth tremor at 8.38pm that night. Also, a meteor display (which didn’t help matters!). A vehicle of extra terrestrial origin was seen at 8.40pm and that descended to land on lower slopes of Cader Berwyn Mountain, this happening at 9.25pm.

The Nurse & daughters did not see it until 10pm and another witness saw it depart just before 10.30pm.

The unfortunate combination of tremor, hunter’s lamps and an explosion sound accompanying the tremor, caused local Police to fear a plane crash on Cader Bronwen above Llandrillo. Attention focussed there. As such, the Authorities homed in on that part of the Range assuming that what the Police were reporting, was the UFO presence which had already been detected.

Of course it was the wrong place.

Concrete evidence in my possession shows that a 3 man search & rescue team requested by the Police from RAF Valley 60 miles away attended to help the Police search again, Cader Bronwen the next day. Nothing was found. This second search started twelve hours later at dawn on the 24th, which was strange, as the MoD would have long known by then, as would the civil aviation people, if a plane was missing. Despite this, the search continued for a missing plane that did not exist.

The 3 man team concluded its search at 2.15pm (officially), but was then spotted on the neighbouring mountain Cader Berwyn, where indeed the UFO was spotted. By then, what Pat Evans had seen was common knowledge locally and the emphasis shifted to Cader Berwyn once the Authorities noted this local chat.

The records for all search and rescue operations conducted by the RAF Valley team have vanished, and as far as the military are concerned, no search and rescue operation occurred at any time in 1974?????

This despite Police records showing such was requested and seen by many locals. Again, I have proof that once requested by the Police, the Military took steps to stop any involvement of civilians including a mountain rescue team which knew the Berwyn Range intimately. Such would turn out to rescue a lone walker lost, but in this instance and contrary to earlier plane crashes on the Range, their services were not required. I’ve already pointed out that the Police subverted Pat Evans and made no attempt whatsoever to send her to the site of a suspected plane crash above Llandrillo.
