UFO Cases of Britain

The Scoriton Mystery is different, and stranger, because it claims a face-to-face conversation with a named alien visitor, conducted on a Devon hillside, who seemed to know a great deal about the already-famous American contactee movement, and who chose a very particular moment to appear.

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.
