A security guard claims to have spotted a "massive" UFO hovering over North Wales.

Jon Waring spotted a "crystal shape object" hovering over Caerwys at around 6am on Tuesday, November 27 while he was at work.

The ex-soldier and former light aircraft pilot from Towyn, shared pictures and a video of the "bright light" that he says quickly disappeared when the sun came up after 7am.

He described the UFO that was near an illuminated telecommunication tower as being a "quarter of the size of the moon".

Jon, who has been flying light aircraft for more than a decade, said he was "one million percent" certain it was not an aircraft.

"I've never seen anything like it and I did 12 years in the army," he said. "I've no idea what it was, I wouldn't even like to take a guess.

"It was just a massive bright light, like a crystal shape. The moon was to the west, and this was to the east.

'A pure bright white light'

"I've been a pilot myself for 11 years and it's nothing like I've ever seen before. It was a pure bright white light that was lit up all around."

Jon said the object "didn't budge" or even alter position until the sky became light.

He added: "It just disappeared when it started to go light. Whoever was out at the time would definitely have seen it, it was hard to miss it.

"I got some pictures and filmed it on my phone, but they don't do it justice at all.

"I've always been very open minded to that kind of thing, but I have no idea what it was."

UFO investigator Russ Kellett who has spent decades looking into the Berwyn Mountains mystery, said he received a report of a similar object in the same area on Sunday.

'I can't believe it'

"I can't believe it. On Sunday, I got a call from a lady in the Flintshire area who said she'd seen a diamond shape object flying over the area early in the morning.

"She said she was looking out of her window and when she looked up, she said she saw something glistening. She said it was very big and that it was towards the coast, looking towards Llandudno way.

"She described it as a very bright glowing diamond, with a tint of colour to it. She was taken aback by it, she said she'd never seen anything like it before."

Mr Kellett who said there is an "ongoing wave of reports" from North Wales at the moment added some believe the diamond shape UFO's are "two flying triangles linked together".

"I've heard of them before, but they are not as popular and aren't sighted as often as other objects," he said.

Earlier this month, he claims a man from North Wales reported witnessing an unidentified object with "bright lights" flying very quickly over Llandudno from the Irish Sea early in the morning.

He says another man, from Ireland, also contacted him with an identical report following a similar experience on the same day.

It comes after the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) is investigating claims of bright lights and UFOs off the south-west coast of Ireland.

A British Airways pilot flying from the Canadian city of Montreal to Heathrow contacted Shannon air traffic control shortly before 7am on November 9 asking if there were military exercises in the area.

The pilot had reported seeing a "very bright light" that was moving very fast. The air traffic controller confirmed there were no such exercises.

The Civil Aviation Authority told the Daily Post they were not aware of any reports of UFOs in the North Wales area.

The MoD who were also contacted for comment say it stopped taking reports of UFO sightings 10 years ago.
