Do you believe in aliens? That’s the first question Roo Lewis asks me. It’s also how he’d start a chat with strangers at one of Port Talbot’s pubs, many of whom later became the subject of his new photo book, Port Talbot UFO Investigation Club.
For the record I do believe in aliens, as do a lot of people in the small South Wales industrial town, known as a UFO sighting hot spot. In one case, a local confirmed his belief by sharing the time he missed work because he was abducted by an alien. Another told him that George Lucas based 1970s hit Star Wars around Port Talbot, its extraterrestrial aura and their steelworks (which were built in the 1990s, mind).
