Why shouldn’t there be something else out there?

A CARDIFF couple have reported an unexpected Christmas encounter with possible UFOs.

Lyn and Clive Jones, from Whitchurch, Cardiff, thought they might have spotted an elaborate promotion for the Dr Who Christmas TV special when they saw spherical orange lights in the sky above their home on December 25.

After discovering it was not a BBC stunt, the couple concluded their sighting could only have been UFOs.

Lyn, who works for the research body Natcen, said: “This isn’t something I’ve ever really thought of before.

“I think when you hear stories about alien abduction you don’t quite believe it because we’re taught to think logically.

“I am open to the idea I suppose. Why shouldn’t there be something else out there? I hope it doesn’t turn out to be like the film Independence Day though!

“I can’t say this has been life-changing but it is interesting.”

Like his wife, Clive, 48, a bath showroom manager, had never been interested in UFOs.

He said there were three orange spheres, which arrived from an easterly direction at about 8.45pm.

He said “The lights were so precise, all in a diagonal row.

“They were there for about 10 minutes then one at a time they started moving away quite quickly, going up into the sky.”
