The Encounter
In 1974, a group of four band members were parked in a van at a local viewpoint in Blaven. They were enjoying chips and discussing their future when one member went to the bathroom. After flashing their van lights to scare off sheep, they noticed two bright objects in the sky. Upon closer inspection, they saw a cigar-shaped craft with four lights. The craft quickly moved above them, appearing circular and about the size of a football field. One smaller craft then descended from the larger one and began scanning the area. After the larger craft left silently, the van started again. The group felt a mix of fear and curiosity, leading them to investigate further. They later shared their experience with locals, who mentioned other sightings in the area. The encounter left them intrigued but also frightened, with some members reluctant to discuss it afterward.
