The Broad Haven Triangle (1977)
On February 4, 1977, a dozen schoolchildren at Broad Haven Primary School in Wales claimed to have seen a domed, cigar-shaped craft land and take off from behind some trees during recess. Some also described a silver-suited figure with pointed ears emerging from the craft. Separated by their headmaster and interviewed individually, the children produced remarkably similar drawings.

about 14 schoolchildren
Why it endures
The troubling consistency of a dozen children's independent testimonies gave its name to an entire area, nicknamed ever since the "Welsh Triangle."
Official version (contested)
British National Archives files suggest a prankster theory; a businessman indeed admitted in 1996 to having wandered the area in a silver suit as a joke.
