Schoolchildren Spot Silver Disc Landing Near Broad Haven School in 1977

On February 4 1977 at Broad Haven Primary School in Pembrokeshire Wales a group of young students reported a remarkable sighting during their lunch break.

Dozens of children described seeing a large silver disc shaped object descend and land briefly in a nearby field adjacent to the school grounds. The craft was estimated to be around thirty feet wide with a smooth metallic surface and no visible windows or markings.

Several children independently sketched the object showing remarkable consistency in their drawings including details like a dome on top and legs or landing gear beneath. Some witnesses also mentioned seeing a silver suited figure near the craft before it rose silently and departed at high speed.

Teachers and local residents later corroborated unusual marks in the grass consistent with a heavy object having rested there. The incident gained national attention in the United Kingdom leading to investigations by UFO researchers and coverage in newspapers of the era.

No conventional explanation such as aircraft or weather phenomena was identified and the case remains one of the most compelling mass witness events involving children. Official files later released under freedom of information requests confirm the volume of reports received at the time.

This sighting stands as a key example of credible testimony supported by physical traces and multiple independent accounts from young eyewitnesses.
