This is no exagguration or anything in this...

I could hear a helicopter circling above my house(The M4 is right next to us and it was a police helicopter) so i went out the back to have a look as you do and i watched the helicopter for about 10 minutes and then all of a sudden from the East, an aircraft comes just over the top of the police helicopter and it was literally YARDS apart. For a second i thought they had collided and this was happening above my house. I watched closely and the plane continued and the helicopter 'chased' the aeroplane on its route for about 2-3 miles in the Swansea direction(West) and then the helicopter turned around and went to complete its mission/sortie.
I was amazed at what i had just saw above my house and how they could have been seconds from disaster. It would have been a bad month or two for this area of south wales as there was a helicopter crashlanding at Swansea airport and of course that terrible disaster with two cadets and pilots which is just up the road from me.

Your thoughts, have you ever seen any CLOSE encounters and what was running through your mind.
