My UFO Youth

My UFO Youth follows Steve Higgins as he revisits the British UFO locations that shaped his teenage interests. His travels take in Rendlesham Forest, the Welsh village of Broad Haven, Warminster’s Cradle Hill, Avebury, Knap Hill and Wiltshire sites associated with crop-circle activity. Along the way, reported sightings, local history and the changing culture of UFO investigation provide the framework for a personal account of returning to places once known through clippings, stories and youthful enthusiasm.

The book also introduces skywatchers, researchers, believers and other characters encountered during Higgins’s travels. His approach combines curiosity with scepticism, considering why people continue to gather beneath the stars and attach meaning to unexplained lights or patterns. Personal memories, road-trip observations and dry humour make this a reflective account of Britain’s UFO culture rather than a case for either belief or dismissal.
