Shadows in the Sky
The Haunted Airways of Britain
Neil Arnold New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Long before the concept of UFOs and alien visitors became widespread in the public imagination there were reports of strange phenomena in the sky – stories of lights, orbs and fiery dragons that date back to the Middle Ages. Neil Arnold presents an account of these historic sightings before exploring a range of other bizarre tales that take in phantom aircraft, ball lightning and monstrous creatures.
Product information
Full publisher description
Although the saying, 'Pigs might fly...' may bring a smile to one's lips, even stranger things have been reported as appearing in Britain's skies over the centuries. Eye-witnesses have testified that various terrifying and bizarre forms have appeared in the skies, from ghostly planes, phantom airships and UFOs, to reports of sky serpents, celestial dragons, flying jellyfish, rains of fish (or blood, or metal, or frogs...) - even reports of a griffin seen over London! It also considers reports of haunted aircraft hangars and airfields. Shadows in the Sky compiles hundreds of accounts from the spine-chilling to the downright bizarre, that'll keep your eyes fixed looking upwards!
