So wheres the Berwyn crash site?

We have been away from the Berwyn blog for too long, we have always had fun writing and promoting it.


I’d like to take you back to what started all this for us. Sitting in my office playing around on Facebook at the start of this year I was joined by a new work colleague, a young handsome chap that now goes by the name of Fox Mulder!


Anyway, having to break the ice I cracked some rubbish joke about E.T needing to borrow my bike and running up a huge phone bill at my mum’s house! Expecting to see the normal blank stare that I always get when I mention space I was surprised to hear his response he asked me if I’d heard of the Berwyn UFO crash. Well as you can guess our careers pretty much ended at that point with Google being our new occupation!


Asking the obvious first question if it happened then where……

The official explanation

The incident - as reported by the police and press at the time.


A large bang along with a number of unusual lights in the sky were observed, followed by a dramatic shaking of the earth, which lasted approximately 4 to 5 seconds. It was considered possible that an aircraft had crashed, or a meteorite had impacted. Within an hour, police searched the Berwyn Mountains and were joined by an RAF rescue team from Valley on Anglesey. Nothing was found, and all searches were called off at just after 2 p.m. the following day.

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.
