Broad Haven Triangle
In rural Wales, school children drew identical pictures of a UFO they witnessed. Teachers initially dismissed them until a wave of sightings engulfed the region, involving hundreds of witnesses over months.
The Welsh Triangle
In 1977, the Pembrokeshire region of Wales experienced an extraordinary UFO wave that began when schoolchildren witnessed and drew identical pictures of a landed craft. The “Broad Haven Triangle” became one of Britain’s most significant UFO events.
