UFO Cases of Britain

The Welsh Triangle wave of 1977, which began with schoolchildren's sightings at Broad Haven Primary School, did not end at the school gates.

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.
