Hi there. My name's Derek, and I'm calling from Wales. This happened when I was ten years old, back in February of '77. Broad Haven Primary School. I need to tell you what we saw that day. So, I was a natural born skeptic, you know? Even as a kid. That lunchtime, Friday the 4th of February, I heard some of the other boys talking about flying saucers. They were saying they'd seen something out in the field behind the school, near the trees. I thought they were having me on. I didn't believe any of it. But after the bell rang for afternoon classes, I decided I'd go have a look for myself. Prove them wrong, if that makes sense. I went up to the top of the playing field where they said they'd seen it. And that's when I saw it too.

It was silver. Cigar-shaped, with this dome covering the middle third of it. The thing just popped up from behind the trees for a couple seconds, and then it went back down. My sighting only lasted maybe two, three seconds at most. But I saw it. Clear as day. I ran back down to tell the others, and some of the lads who'd seen it earlier, they were still talking about it. They'd watched it for longer than I did. Three, four, five minutes some of them said. It had been sitting there in the field during lunch break, and they'd all got a proper look at it. Michael, one of my classmates, he said it was silver with a big dome on top and a red light flashing. Another boy, Philip, he saw it too. Said it looked disc-shaped with a dome and a light on top. It was a dull, rainy day, but we all saw something. There's no question about that.

Now here's the really strange part. Some of the boys, not me but some of them, they said they saw a figure. A tall figure in a silver suit standing next to the craft. David and Tudor, they were the ones who got closest. They said this figure was silver, looked like it was wearing some kind of suit. They were terrified. Tudor was nearly crying because he thought he was going to be disintegrated or something. We all rushed back inside after that. The teachers didn't believe us. Not one of them. We tried to explain what we'd seen, tried to get the headmaster to come look, but he refused. He thought we were making it up. So on Monday morning, he separated all of us. Put us in different rooms and told us to draw what we'd seen. He figured if we were lying, the drawings would all be different.
