UFO Cases of Britain

In her own description, the first light appeared high above the trees, thousands of feet up, before the object descended, appearing to rotate on its axis as it dropped below the treeline.

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.
