Dear EDITORIALS, Friends of the Science and ASTRONOMY.

A police helicopter crew has spotted what is described as an unusual aircraft in
the Vale of Glamorgan. The helicopter was above St Athan, which is home to an
RAF base and close to Cardiff International Airport. But three-man crew could
not capture any images before the object vanished over the Bristol Channel on 8
June. South Wales Police said the helicopter did not give chase and described
the crew as very experienced. The sighting has been reported for investigation.
The police Eurocopter, an EC135T21, was hovering in the sky at 1240BST above the
base, waiting to land.
A police spokesperson said: "The crew are very experienced and responded in a
professional manner in relation to what they saw.
"In today's skies, there are a wide variety of aircrafts which come in a range
of different shapes and sizes and in all probability, this sighting has just
confirmed that one of these was in the area at the relevant time," the
spokesperson added.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said it had heard nothing about the incident.
"But it is certainly not advisable for police helicopters to go chasing what
they think are UFOs," the spokesperson said.
Cardiff International Airport said air traffic control provided a service to the
police helicopter to ensure it had appropriate air space, including allowing it
space to return to RAF St Athan to refuel.
Author Richard Foxhall who lives in the Nantlle Valley, Gwynedd has written a
book about his experience of seeing a UFO in 1996.
Mr Foxhall has called for the report into the Vale of Glamorgan sighting to be
made open to the public.

"The helicopter crew, who are experienced, saw something which was in the air
space around Cardiff International Airport and St Athan's air base.
"It this was Heathrow - there would be an inquiry," he added.
Mr Foxhall said he saw a low flying object over Tal-y-Mignedd in Snowdonia over
the May bank holiday weekend, 12 years ago.
He was returning home at around 2030 and saw an object similar to "nothing he
had seen before".
Mr Foxhall contacted all local airports, RAF Valley and checked with the
authorities and found no flight records had been logged.
