UFOs in Britain

By Neil R Storey

The first reported UFO sightings in Britain date back to the early years of the twentieth century and have continued through two World Wars to recent years. Cases include mystery airships of 1909 at Peterborough and the eastern counties, the Burton Dassett ghost lights of 1923, RAF gremlins in the Second World War, the Newbiggin enigma in 1942, Dorothy Kilgallen and the UK saucer crash in the Second World War, the Tenterden spaceman in 1952, the Ranton landing of 1956, the RAF Cosford incident in 1964, Rendlesham Forest in 1980 and many others.

Drawing on archives of unpublished British UFO material assembled by a group of former RAF and ROC officers, along with other archive accounts, rare articles and cuttings of UFO sightings and incidents in the UK covering most of the 20th century, including the Second World War, author and military historian Neil R. Storey presents a history of UFOs in the British Isles. Illustrations are included showing archive images of people and events from the time, photographs of locations where the events took place and line drawings and illustrations of the unidentified flying objects witnessed.

This book will appeal to all those interested in UFO phenomena as well as those interested in the social history of Britain.
