UFO Cases of Britain

On 4 February 1977, during afternoon break at Broad Haven Primary School in Pembrokeshire, west Wales, a group of children — accounts settle on roughly fourteen boys and one girl, aged between nine and eleven — reported seeing a cigar-shaped craft with a dome on top, hovering low in a boggy field around four hundred yards from the school.

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.
