UFO Cases of Britain

In the early hours of 30 July 1977, airmen on the night shift at RAF Boulmer were alerted by a telephone call from a civilian who could see two bright objects hovering out over the North Sea.

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.
