Description

Over a period of two years Roo Lewis photographed the Welsh town of Port Talbot which, according to actor Michael Sheen, has an 'extremely high number of UFO sightings'.

However, the resulting book Port Talbot UFO Investigation Club is not a study of UFO sightings but instead uses the phenomena as a starting point to explore and share the weird and wonderful stories of the town. During the course of his project, Lewis put up posters around the town to track down those who have spotted UFOS, chartered a small plane to fly over the town, commissioned UFO models based on sightings and was a guest of many of the town's residents.

The photographs in the book range from portraits of Meyrick Sheen (father to Michael, who had a career as a Jack Nicholson lookalike), Captain Beany, and Miss Wales, to images the town's urban infrastructure and surrounding landscapes interrupted by man-made structures. The story behind each photograph is unique.
