The Broad Haven Triangle explores the phenomenon of a group of boys who spotted a spacecraft rising from the tress above their playground. Suddenly after the sighting, the Welsh coastal town of Broad Haven was gripped by over 450 reports of UFO and alien encounters.<\/p>\n

Read on for more details about the true story of The Broad Haven Triangle in Encounters<\/a> on Netflix.<\/p> In 1977, a class of pupils at Broad Haven Primary School said they spotted a UFO in a field near their playground. Since then, the small Welsh village has been dubbed the \u201cBermuda Triangle\u201d of the UK.<\/p>\n None of the teachers believed the children, so the headmaster separated them and got them to draw what they saw. The majority of the produced drawings were of UFOs, some featuring what many assume to be an alien.<\/p>\n The school field spaceship sighting was the first of what one pupil called \u201csome pretty strange\u201d encounters. As all eyes were on the small village of Broad Haven, other locals began reporting close encounters with strange creatures and crafts.<\/p>\n Mark Morston, who appears in the documentary, claimed he came face to face with a figure that stepped out of a spaceship.<\/p>\n \u201cThis thing stepped out of the hedge,\u201d he told the Encounters crew.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a good 7ft tall, it had a silver suit with a motorbike visor as a face. I thought \u2018That\u2019s not a man, no way is that a man\u2019. It started walking towards me and I thought \u2018This is not happening\u2019. I was quite scared. It kept walking, so I legged it.\u201d<\/p>\n The following day, Mark returned to the scene with his father, where he said they saw a huge footprint in the mud that was \u201ctoo big to be [from] an ordinary man\u201d.<\/p>\n Two months after the school sighting, Rosa Granville, who ran the Haven Forth Hotel, told the BBC<\/a> she saw an object that looked like an \u201cupside-down saucer\u201d and two \u201cfaceless humanoid\u201d creatures with pointed heads.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was light coming from it and flames of all colours. Then [the creatures] came out of these flames, that\u2019s what I don\u2019t understand,\u201d she told the publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The synopsis for the first episode of Encounters reads: \u201cA close encounter at a children\u2019s school in a tiny Welsh village spurs a series of sightings. An astrophysicist theorises about aliens and water.\u201d<\/p>\n The once quiet village of Broad Haven became a media frenzy, with all eyes on the residents and mysterious sightings.<\/p>\n David Davies, who was 10 at the time, told the BBC that the days that followed were a \u201cwild rollercoaster\u201d. He said: \u201cIt went crazy with the media and it was difficult to settle down and actually think about what we had seen.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2017, a conference was held in Broad Haven to mark 40 years since the sightings.<\/p>\n Organiser Emlyn Williams told the BBC the case sparked \u201cworldwide interest\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n When asked if he thought the sighting was genuine, he told the publication: \u201cOne child can lie, but can a whole class? Over 40 years at least one of them might have come forward to say they made it up \u2013 but they haven\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Encounters will stream on Netflix from 27th September 2023.
