The Berwyn Mountain Incident.
On 23rd January 1974 there was a reported sighting of a UFO crashing in the Berwyn Mountains in North Wales.
Unusual lights were seen in the sky, followed by a startling shaking of the ground. At first, it was thought that it was an aircraft crashing or a meteorite hitting the earth, but when the police and RAF found nothing and their searches were called the following day, speculation started that it was a UFO that had crashed.
There were further rumours of alien bodies being found and that the area had been cordoned off to prevent the public from seeing the wreckage.
However, subsequent scientific enquiries found that the area had experienced a force 3.5 earthquake, which combined with a reported bright meteor had given the false impression of UFO landing.
