Intrigued to know if anyone else had witnessed this sighting. A number of people in my area had seen this object in the sky yesterday which was cigar shaped and i believe they explained it to be a dull grey to black colour. It was hovering for quite sometime until a group of black helicopters intercepted the object and it dissapeared.

If anyone else saw this or has some photographs of it, i would love to know.

Can you give us a bit better description than just a 'cigar shaped' object, as well, this could be anything from a plane to a blimp to some optical illusion of some sort.

There was a Goodyear blimp over South Wales, not sure if it was that?

Bit strange to have it flying around given all the storms and heavy rain around the country.

And not a mobile phone was had for a still or some footage that day.

Go back to the shadows

The phones suddenly stopped working when they were within 200m

A group of black helicopters intercepted it? They're simply lying m8.

Maybe so, but it was definitely seen over the Swansea area at the end of the week.

Wouldn't trust anyone from Swansea, half of them are homeless and on smack.

No, most certainly not. That stretch of water belongs to Bristol, and nobody is going to take it away from us!

Agreed.

I saw this and oddly I have a sore bum, should I be worried as I lost 22 minutes yesterday for no apparent reason?

He's the wrong one to link to.

I was expecting a picture of someone holding up a cigar to an aeroplane window.

Well i can't really as i didn't actually see this object myself. But going from what locals in my area explained that was as much information as i could get. People explained that it just seemed to dissapear into the cloud cover as soon as these helicopters arrived on the scene.

Yes the severn, and im afraid i don't have any pictures, as i stated in my description the reason i posted intially was to see if anybody else on this forum had witnessed this sighting themselves.

This is absolutely no lie, and if anything adds more mystery to the case as it reached more attention to bystanders due to the helicopters arriving on scene. I have spoken to multiple people which all described the black helicopters and that for a lot of them that was what intially grabbed their attention to the skys.

It's an odd one, but definitely a real scenario which happened yesterday. After googling further on this, i have realised this is no uncommon event. Black helicopters arriving in rural and urban areas to unusual disturbances is oddly quite common.

Were they able to identify the what type of helicopters they were?

Has anyone ever seen those self-rising balloons?, huge black cigar shaped things.
You just fill them with normal air and leave them out in the open.
The clear topside allows the sunlight in which heats the air inside and the whole thing slowly rises.
