A flying saucer seen by a guest house, a 7ft alien-like figure coming out of a hedge and a "cigar-shaped" UFO near a school yard.

These are just some of the 450 reported alien encounters from one of the UK's largest mass sightings in a remote Welsh village.

The village of Broad Haven has since been described as the "Bermuda Triangle" of mysterious craft sightings and sightings of strange beings.

"The spaceship looked like a cigar shape with a dome on it with yellowy, orange to red light on the top of it," one child told BBC cameras at the time.

Another child said he didn't just see a UFO, adding: "I saw a man, but I couldn't see its face because it was too far away."

Now more than 45 years later, those 10-year-olds who reported the strange sights during lunchtime at Broad Haven primary school still insist this was no childish hoax.

David Davies, 57, said he was initially sceptical when his school friends rushed back into class from the playground claiming to have seen a spaceship.

"I totally regarded the story as being nonsense as to me flying saucers didn't exist," he said. "They were in bad 1950s sci-fi movies or in tabloid newspapers."

Expecting to dismiss the fuss as just kids telling tales, he went out to see for himself – and still remains stunned as to what he said he witnessed.

"From behind some trees, this thing popped up in front of me," he said.

"It was silver, cigar-shaped and about 45ft long and there was just this thought that came into my mind that I had to run away.

"Mothers can tell when you're lying and [mine] was absolutely convinced what I was saying was the truth."

The pupils were asked to draw and write an account of what they saw on their return to school by school headmaster Ralph Llewhellin, who separated the children to ensure there was no copying.

"It's not like today, there was no social media or mobile phones so there was no opportunity to have collaborated," David said.

Mr Llewellyn later told the BBC's children's current affairs show John Craven's Newsround that all the descriptions were "similar".

This case shares striking similarities between the Ariel School UFO incident in Ruwa, Zimbabwe in 1994 and the Westall UFO incident in Melbourne, Australia in 1966.
