Shadows in the Sky: The Haunted Airways of Britain

Shadows in the Sky gathers reported aerial mysteries from Britain, ranging from 18th-century lights and phantom airships to modern UFO encounters. Neil Arnold also considers ball lightning, unexplained sounds and accounts associated with pilots, airfields and aircraft, including stories of ghostly airmen and phantom planes.

The book broadens its scope beyond familiar flying-saucer reports. Its cases include alleged owlmen, mothmen, winged snakes and other airborne creatures, alongside accounts of fish, frogs and stranger substances falling from the sky. Aerial armies, battles and unidentified lights add further dimensions to this collection of folklore, eyewitness testimony and paranormal claims connected with Britain’s skies.
