UFO Sighting Baffles Campers

Location: Denbighshire

Sharon Carlin, her husband, two children and two other couples with children were on a Bank Holiday trip in North Wales.

The six adults and seven children stayed at the Carrog Station Campsite, and on their last night, when all the children were asleep, they saw an unusual object in the sky.

The friends were gathered around their campfire when Sharon said she noticed something.

"I saw orange flames coming towards us and I had no idea what it could be," said Sharon.

"There was no sound but it was moving diagonally, it lasted for a few minutes.

"It moved like an air balloon but there was no noise off the flames. It was too small to be an air balloon though."

Sharon said everyone was intrigued not scared and they all tried to get their cameras out but it was too late.

"It just came quite close, it felt like it was detecting us.

"I can only describe it as a small cube-like shape with flames in the middle floating at a slow speed towards us. Then it went backwards and disappeared into the sky. It was the strangest thing, very bizarre and none of us could explain it."

The sighting happened at 10.45pm on Sunday, May 3, and on her return home to Manchester, Sharon was alerted to the Free Press website and that of sister paper the Evening Leader, which details UFO sightings in Denbighshire and Flintshire and a timeline of the recordings.

On May 1 the Evening Leader reported the experiences of a Wrexham man who recorded one of his many spottings in the town on video, which is posted on the webpage.

Sharon said she couldn't believe he had detailed a similar description and caught on camera what the group saw in Carrog.

The man, who didn't wish to be named, said he had heard of strange sightings in the skies around Summerhill over the last 12 months.

He claimed before capturing the footage he had seen unexplained lights flying near his home and on Saturday, April 18, he was lucky enough to have a second chance when he saw a similar formation and grabbed a video camera

The video shows two bright orange lights in the night sky.

Campsite manager of 12 years, Les, said he had never seen any UFOs. "There's the railway behind the site, so it could be sparks or we get a lot of train spotters taking pictures at night at the top of the A5, and people walking with lanterns," he added.
