From the book
UFO Cases of Britain
Continuing along the route, the family said they encountered a dense green mist or fog lying across the road ahead of them. Rather than stopping, John Avis drove the car straight through it.
Fifty-four real and closely examined British UFO cases, weighed with honesty rather than hype. From Rendlesham Forest, the best-documented UFO case the United Kingdom has ever produced, to the Berwyn Mountains, the Broad Haven schoolchildren, the Calvine photograph and the Bonnybridge hotspot, each case sets out what was seen, who saw it and what the explanations are.
