• On the night of January 23rd, 1974 at about 8:30 pm, people near the Berwyn Mountains in North Wales, UK (pictured above), reported hearing a huge bang with earth tremors and claims of brilliant lights in the sky above the mountain range. Explanations have ranged from a series of coincidences including an earthquake measuring 3.5 on the Richter scale whose epicentre was Bala Lake, along with a meteor shower and poachers with lamps, to a UFO crashing on the mountain side with an alien craft taken away by the military.

• UFO researcher Russ Kellett believes that the British military conducted a mission that night to flush out extraterrestrial craft operating from an undersea base in that region, and that the military captured one of those alien vessels. Kellett claims his research shows that one may have been shot down near Betws-y-Coed.  Another came down near Llandrillo on the outskirts of the Berywn Mountains. And a third one landed in Bala Lake, before taking off again.

• To back up his claim, Kellett received a letter from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency confirming that a British military exercise had taken place at Jerby Range on the Isle of Man on the night of the ‘Berwyn Mountains Incident’. According to the letter, the exercise was code-named “Operation Photoflash”, comprising “at least 10 aircraft taking part and at least 80 flashes around the Liverpool Bay area and the North Wales coastline.”

• Kellett has obtained a digital copy of the logbook from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency that has listed an ‘Operation Photoflash’ on that date, further verifying the event. Said Kellett, “This document shows that Operation Photoflash was real and I believe from my research that UFOs were flushed out of the sea off the North Wales coast in a military operation.”

• In 2010, retired nurse Pat Evans related that she saw something strange on the mountainside that evening in 1974, after hearing a large bang. Thinking it was a plane crash, she went to see if she could help. When she got there, she saw a large craft that glowed orange, red and yellow and was “moon-like, but without windows or doors.” Said nurse Evans, “[The craft] couldn’t have got there any other way apart from being flown there, so it had to be a UFO of some sort. I’m talking about something that could only have got there by flying and landing.” Added Evans, “I’ve never seen anything like it before or since. I have no idea what it was.”

• Skeptics maintain it all was just a meteor shower and an earthquake occurring at the same time, or perhaps a meteor exploding and showering red hot fragments over the Berwyns.

 

A new document has emerged which shows a military exercise was taking place on the night of one of North Wales greatest UFO mysteries.

The Berwyn Mountains “incident” still provokes debates about what happened on the night of January 23 1974.

Explanations have ranged from a series of coincidences including an earthquake whose epicentre was BalaLake measuring 3.5 on the Richter scale, a meteor shower and poachers with lamps, to a UFO crashing on the mountain side, with an alien taken away by the military.

At about 8.30 pm on that night 45 years ago people reported hearing a huge bang, earth tremors were felt, amid claims of brilliant lights in the sky above the mountain range.

Police arrived in the area and a RAF search and rescue team was scrambled from Anglesey.

Self-styled UFO researcher Russ Kellett has always believed an alien vessel came down that night and was taken away as one of a number flushed out of the sea off North Wales in a major military operation.

But a letter Mr Kellett received from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) appears to confirm a military operation, codenamed Photoflash, was scheduled for that night.

The MCA headed letter said: “During the late afternoon and early evening of 23rd January 1974 there was an exercise from Jerby Range on the Isle of Man.

“The exercise was called ‘Photoflash’ and coastguards were advised to expect at least 10 aircraft taking part and at least 80 flashes around the Liverpool Bay area and the North Wales coastline.”

However Mr Kellett came in for criticism about the letter and its veracity.

Now he has received a digital copy of the coastguard station’s logbook, from the MCA for that day, which clearly shows “Operation Photoflash” was a real event and appears on the log.

What Really Happened in Notorious 1974 Welsh ‘UFO Crash Landing’ Mystery

by Steve Bagnall and Nathan Bevan                         December 27, 2018                     (walesonline.co.uk)

• On a cold, dark January night in 1974 the ground shook with a loud bang and bright lights appeared in the sky above the Berwyn Mountains in northeast Wales, UK. The tremor from it measured 3.5 on the Richter scale. The UFO crash high above Bala Lake, called the Welsh ‘Roswell’, has resurfaced again following a fresh appeal for information by a researcher looking to make a documentary about the phenomena for American TV.

• Retired nurse Pat Evans believed that an aircraft had crashed. She drove to the site and saw a pulsating orange and red glow on the hillside and other lights. Other residents of the affected villages of Llandderfel and Llandrillo also claim to have seen a lot of soldiers in the area and something large being loaded onto the back of a truck.

• A pensioner with links to the RAF and NASA stated that these organizations had been developing a new weapon to bring down UFOs, and it had been used successfully that night. One ex-military man claimed that something “catastrophic” had gone wrong with an underground base “that was not manned by people of this world.”

• North Yorkshire UFO investigator Russ Kellett has been trying to piece together what happened that night. “Sometimes there are people who just like to be involved in an event such as this and want to say they were there,” said Kellett. “[But] why would these people in their 50s, 60s and 80s contact me to give me these stories? The people who contacted me appeared to be genuine.” Says Kellett, “I have been researching this for 25 years now and am still trying to get to the bottom of what happened that night.”

 

It’s been called the Welsh ‘Roswell’ – a cold, dark January night in 1974 when the ground shook and bright lights appeared in the sky above the Berwyn Mountains.

An incident which has remained surrounded by mystery ever since, many explanations have been given for what went on in that part of North Wales that evening, from meteor shower and earthquake to downed plane or even lamp-wielding poachers on the hillside.

But, for many, the belief that a UFO crashed high above Bala Lake – its alien inhabitants quickly spirited away in a military cover-up – has proved hard to shake.

And, according to NorthWalesLive, that belief has resurfaced again following a fresh appeal for information earlier this year by a researcher looking to make a documentary about the phenomena for American TV.

North Yorkshire UFO investigator Russ Kellett, who has been researching the Berwyn Mountains enigma for 25 years, has received a further four extraordinary claims by people from in and around the affected villages of Llandderfel and Llandrillo who say they were either close to the incident or knew officials involved.

One woman, who said she lived very near by, told Kellett her dad worked for the Ministry of Defence and on that night she heard an enormous bang – the tremor from which measured 3.5 on the Richter scale – and that she and her brother were told to go back to bed.

Later in the evening she could hear people talking in the house about making calls and when she looked out of the window she saw something large being loaded onto the back of a truck, although she did not know what it was. She claimed there were a lot of soldiers in the area.

Years later, her dad told her a Russian ship in the Irish Sea had fired a missile “in the wrong direction” and hit something which came down and was taken away by the military.
