Police hunt weirdness with Helicopters

Police Helicopters are busy in Wales and the marches. While one was used to hunt the Ammanford Wolfman recently and of course there was the massive Cardiff UFO - helicopter chase last year. The latest report from the Marcher county of Gloucestershire is that the Police are using them to hunt a "Lion".

Clearly I should have tried to get a police helicopter to hunt the Swansea Crocodile last year :)

Link courtsey of the CFZ blog where Tim Mathews notes the similarities between Big Cat hunts and Ufology. Which I guess is true enough regarding enthusiasts though the authorities too seem to take Big Cat reports far more seriously than they do UFOs nowadays.

TIM MATTHEWS: Are big cat hunters the new UFOlogists?

Alien spotted in Mumbles

Well the Crocodile may have disappeared but Swansea has a new monster.

Talk of aliens in South Wales just will not go away - and now Wayne Grove believes he has photographic evidence of their existence.

Mr Grove claims he took this picture while working for a small gardening firm around Mumbles, West Cross and Mayals.

He said: "At approximately 10.19am on Thursday, July 3, I was working in Overland Road in Mumbles where the gardens back onto the woods.

"I heard a rustling sound coming from the trees. When I looked I was expecting to see a dog! But to my horror I saw what I can only describe as something from another planet!

"From what I could see it was naked, with a large head and black eyes. My heart was pounding so hard the adrenalin was pumping. I took a photo of what i saw and zoomed in.

"I really don't know what I saw but I am frightened! Please try and get someone to investigate it."

Obviously a fake. This is all fall out from the spate of UFO sightings in Wales in June.

This news report has more.



But it looks like the wav of sightings has inspired much coverage.
