Locals who reported on these one-year encounters in the late 1970s have seen their stories resurface thanks to recent events Netflix documentaryMeetings.
Created by Steven Spielberg‘s production company, is one of four episodes dedicated to the mysterious events that took place in and around Broad Haven.
The most famous incident occurred on February 4, 1977, when a dozen children from the local primary school claimed to have seen a ‘cigar-shaped spaceship’ take off from behind some trees during their lunch break.
Some also claimed to have seen a silver figure along with the vessel with a “dome on top”.
After telling their teachers what they had seen, the boys were separated by their principal and told to draw exactly what they had seen.
According to the director, all the boys’ creepy drawings had similarities.
David Davies was reading in the classroom when the other children came in and talked breathlessly about seeing a flying saucer moving in the trees behind their playground.
Now 57, he said MailOnline: “From behind some trees this thing appeared in front of me: silver-colored, cigar-shaped, about 45 feet long.
“The thought just popped into my head that I had to run.”
He sprinted home and told his mother.
‘You know what mothers are like: they can tell when you lie.
“And she was absolutely convinced that what I said was the truth.”
Another former student now in his 50s, Shaun Garrison, also remembers that day vividly. “I went home and told my mom and dad, and they were not judgmental in any way.
“They believed me and believed what I saw, I believed.”
A handful of interviewees said they also saw a silver-clad occupant of the plane.
Many dismissed the accounts as the product of children’s vivid imaginations.

Numerous sightings nicknamed the area The Broad Haven Triangle – a twist on the Bermuda Triangle – a place historically associated with mysterious disappearances.
A few months after the schoolyard sighting, hotel owner Rose Granville reported seeing a spacecraft just as she was going to bed.
Rose insisted that she had seen an “upside-down saucer” floating in a nearby field and two long-limbed but featureless humanoid creatures briefly emerging from it.
“She looked out the window and saw this thing floating,” her daughter Francine recalled to Encounters.
“These two figures came out. They looked a little shaky.”
A month or two later, and a few kilometers around the Marloes Peninsula, Mark Morston claimed that not only did he see a spaceship while walking alone, but also that he came face to face with a figure.
He claimed to have seen an “upside down dish in a blaze” on a ridge near his house, and then described hearing a rustling further up the hedge.
“This thing stepped out of the hedge,” Mark said.
“He was over 2 meters tall and had a silver suit with a motorcycle visor for a face.”
