Ep 332: The Uninvited – The Ripperston Farm Invasion

 
TRANSCRIPT available ON REQUEST
 
“You will find no explanations for the events reconstructed here, for there are none.”
— Clive Harold, author of "The Uninvited"
 

Description:

In 1977, a remote dairy farm on the cliffs of southwest Wales overlooking St. Brides Bay became the center of one of the strangest and most enduring UFO cases in the history of the United Kingdom. What began with a glowing object hovering near the Coombs family’s Ripperston Farm escalated into months of unexplained phenomena: failing electronics, mysterious figures at the windows, bizarre twin MIB visitors in a silver car, missing cattle that appeared miles away, and an encounter Pauline Coombs believed took place aboard an otherworldly craft. As sightings spread across the region — including the famous Broad Haven school incident witnessed by fourteen children — the area became colloquially known as the “Welsh Triangle,” and nicknamed “Roswelsh,” after the US’ Roswell, NM incident. With classified and declassified government investigations and denials, admitted hoaxes, and a mystery that remains unresolved nearly fifty years later, we ask: what really happened over St Brides Bay in Wales?

 
 

Location:

Near Ripperston Farm, overlooking St. Brides Bay in southwestern Wales, UK, where much of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena occurred from the farm to the ocean.
