UFO Cases of Britain

Bonnybridge is different: a small, thoroughly unremarkable Scottish town that has, for more than three decades now, simply kept on generating UFO reports, year after year, without ever producing the one definitive incident that might explain why.

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.
