Waves / 1990 to 1996 · United Kingdom

The British wave of the 1990s

The Calvine photograph in 1990, airliners near Gatwick and Manchester reporting near misses with things that were not aircraft, the Cosford flap of March 1993 that the Ministry of Defence's own desk officer could not explain, and a small Scottish town, Bonnybridge, that reported so much the council asked the Prime Minister for an inquiry.
