The Broad Haven Triangle

In early 1977, a series of UFO and humanoid sightings occurred around Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The events centered on two schools and included some of the most compelling child witness testimony in UFO history.

Broad Haven Primary School

On February 4, 1977, a group of schoolchildren reported seeing a silver, cigar-shaped craft near their school:

• Approximately 14 children witnessed the object
• It landed in a field adjacent to the school
• A silver-suited figure was seen near the craft
• The children were initially dismissed by teachers

The Drawing Test

Headmaster Ralph Llewellyn conducted an investigation:

• Children were separated to prevent collaboration
• Each was asked to draw what they had seen
• The drawings showed remarkable consistency
• All depicted a similar craft and figure

Haven Fort Hotel

Rosa Granville, owner of the Haven Fort Hotel, reported multiple sightings:

• A dome-shaped craft in a field near the hotel
• Tall, silver-suited humanoid figures
• Repeated appearances over several weeks
• Frightening encounters that she initially kept secret

Ripperston Farm

The Coombs family at Ripperston Farm experienced:

• Repeated UFO sightings over their property
• A silver-suited giant figure seen at their window
• Car engine repeatedly failing in one location
• Cattle behaving strangely
• Television interference

The Schoolteacher

A teacher at another local school had her own encounter:

• Driving at night, her car lost power
• A silver-suited figure appeared by the road
• The figure seemed to float rather than walk
• She was deeply shaken by the experience

Other Witnesses

Throughout early 1977, many area residents reported:

• Silver, disc, or cigar-shaped craft
• Tall figures in silver suits
• Interference with electronics and vehicles
• Strange lights in the sky

Investigation

The cases attracted significant attention:

• Researchers interviewed witnesses extensively
• Media coverage was substantial
• Some official interest from military
• No conventional explanation emerged

The Stack Rocks Connection

Some sightings centered on Stack Rocks, offshore islands visible from the coast. Witnesses reported lights and activity around these uninhabited rocks.

Skeptical Explanations

Various explanations were proposed:

• Hoaxing by students
• Misidentification of natural phenomena
• Mass hysteria
• Pranks by local individuals

However, the consistency of independent witnesses across different locations made simple explanations inadequate.

Significance

The Broad Haven Triangle is significant for:

• Multiple independent witness groups
• Children’s consistent drawings
• Extended duration of activity
• Humanoid sightings accompanying craft
• Community-wide phenomenon

Legacy

The events are commemorated locally:

• Broad Haven embraces its UFO history
• The case remains a classic in British ufology
• The children’s drawings are still studied
• The witness testimony has proven consistent over decades
