what we were told as kids.

When we were growing up the older kids told us stories of the strange things that have happened in and around our village, one of the stories I was told was of a UFO crash on the Berwyn mountains. Myself and Mulder think it would be best for you to hear this story first before we begin to piece together the findings of our investigation.

So heres the story as I remember it.




Let me take you back to the 23rd of January 1974. The UK was still on a 3 day week, the IRA where blowing things up and the cold war was pushing the limits of aviation.


The time was 8.30pm on a Wednesday and the night sky was clear but cold. Because of the 3 day week most people were getting ready for bed or having a cheeky pint down the local pub. A bright ball of light was seen travelling at high speed from the Ruthin direction heading towards Cadair Berwyn which is one of the higher peaks on the Berwyn range. Eye witnesses say that the object seemed to be controlled and did not travel along a straight path as it passed over head, this was then followed by an earthquake and bright coloured lights shinning out into the night sky.
The earthquake measured 3.5 on the rector scale and was large enough to knock pictures off the walls and send beer glasses flying. It made cracks in buildings and was even felt in Liverpool which is over 50 miles away.
People thought it was a plane crash so the police were called. They very quickly turned up at the scene closing off the mountain to everybody including the farmers that owned the land. The army soon followed stopping anyone who tried to get on the mountain. - strange coloured lights were seen all over the Berwyn during this time.
Over the next few days the local village became a hub of activity. Army trucks and chinook helicopters were seen carrying large crates off the mountain. People claiming to have been asked questions by men dressed in black, a couple of lads that I work with even recall having a drink with sum US army officers that stayed a few nights in the OG pub in Corwen.
After a week the army and police left giving the mountain back to the land owners a press realise was given saying that nothing was found on the mountain after an extensive RAF search. later on an official explanation was given.


In our next blog I will post the official explanation of the events, something which Mulder would rather you didn't read. I think he wants Scully to believe.
