There was a not dissimilar incident on 1 September 1978 witnessed by a farmer on Galloway - so not far away across the Irish Sea. His cows stopped giving milk after the experience and his hair alleged turned colour overnight.
So whilst most likely it was a fireball it is still pretty interesting.
Is this a different incident on the same date?
SEPTEMBER 1, 1978, LLANERCHYMEDD, ANGLESEY, U-K., PAT OWEN:
Brief summary of the event and follow-up:
A story from fragmentary sources indicates that in September 1978, there were several UFO sighting reports in the north of Wales, U-K.
That would have begun on September 1 in the night. Farmer John Roberts hunted rabbits, when at approximately 8 p.m. he suddenly saw a shining and bright white light slowly going down from the sky near the village of Llanerchymedd, Anglesey. It is said he saw that villagers looked towards a bumpy field behind new residences. Others saw a large silver sphere above a field, or this field.
Approximately ten minutes later, Mrs. Pat Owen, in her bedroom with her 2-year-old daughter Adelle, reportedly saw a light, or this light. She was looking by the window and also saw three men walking through the field.
She said they wore silver gray outfits with a kind of hat on their heads, attached to the outfits. They were all well more than six feet tall. She saw only their backs.
She saw that the cows were terrified because of these men, they fled.
Frightened, she ran to the village to find her husband.
