After 8:00 p.m. on September 1, 1978, several villagers in Llanerchymedd, Anglesey, saw a bright light descend and an egg-shaped object and a silvery sphere hover; a mother and daughter saw three tall men in gray uniforms cross a field, and investigators later found flattened barley.
Background
After 8:00 p.m. several villagers in Llanerchymedd, Anglesey, Wales, including some teenagers and a man hunting rabbits, watched a bright white light descend slowly behind a new housing estate, and an egg-shaped object was seen hovering and illuminating the trees. Other independent witnesses saw a large silvery sphere above a field, watched the cows panic and heard dogs barking furiously. A Mrs. Parry and her young daughter, looking out from an upstairs bedroom, saw three tall men in gray uniforms, with caps or helmets attached to their suits, walking across a field; teenagers alerted the police, who found the village in an uproar, thinking it had been invaded. At 10:00 p.m. Vivienne Roberts saw a purplish object with a mass of yellow lights above the vicarage while her horses panicked and sweated profusely; UFO investigators later triangulated the supposed landing site and found a circular patch of flattened barley with a path leading up to it.
