The Ilkley Moor Alien

UFO Cases of Britain

Of all the photographs claimed as evidence of alien contact in Britain, one in particular has achieved an unusual kind of double reputation: celebrated by some researchers as among the most compelling images of an extraterrestrial ever captured, and dismissed by critics, in near the same breath, as little more than a blurry smear that enthusiastic interpretation has turned into a face.

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.
