Unsolved mysteries of Wales.
Cardiff Docks's wave of 🛸 UFOs 👽
The aliens arrived in the Welsh capital in 1909. Or so it seemed.
It began on May 16, when a stockbroker's clerk came across five suspicious-looking "foreigners" who were taking photographs of the area around Wenallt Hill.
Two days later, Punch and Judy entertainer Mr C Lethbridge was pushing his work cart home on Caerphilly Mountain en route to Roland Street, where he saw: "a long tube-shaped affair on the grass on the roadside, with two men busily engaged with something near by. When they saw me they jumped up and jabbered furiously to each other in a strange lingo. They hurriedly collected something off the ground, and then I was really frightened.
"The long thing on the ground rose up slowly. I was standing still at the time, quite amazed, and when it was hanging a few feet off the ground the men jumped into a kind of little carriage suspended from it, and gradually the whole affair and the men rose in the air in a zigzag fashion. When they had cleared the telegraph wires that pass over the mountain, two lights like electric lamps shone out, and the thing went higher into the air, and sailed away towards Cardiff."
He was not alone in seeing it. Workmen in Cardiff Docks saw the cigar-shaped object flying overhead, as did a railway signalman.
The press investigated, and found evidence that something had landed on the mountain. Some believe that it might have been German spies ahead of the First World War. Others believe it was visitors from another galaxy.
