1951-1953 Buckinghamshire Sighting
- In summer time between 1951 and 1953, (thought to probably be 1952), some young children, who were playing in their grandmother's fields, on her farm, witnessed a low flying triangle, flying over some of the barns on the farm. "I've never forgotten it," , says the male witness, now aged 60. "We were playing in my grandmother's fields one day when we looked up and saw this huge black triangle flying silently over the barns. It didn't scare any of us, we just watched as it flew straight over us and towards Buckingham until it was out of sight. It was big! Very big! Black and you could see right through it because it had a large triangular hole in the middle of it. We didn't know anything about UFO's then, but I had never seen anything like it,".

1980 Rendlesham Forest Incident
- The Rendlesham Forest Incident is the name given to a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights and objects in the sky, and the alleged landing of an extraterrestrial spacecraft, in December 1980, in the vicinity of Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England. Along with the Berwyn Mountain Incident, it is perhaps the most famous UFO event to have happened in Britain, ranking amongst the best-known UFO events worldwide. It has been compared to the Roswell UFO incident in the United States and is, amongst Americans, commonly referred to as "Britain's Roswell" or the "English Roswell".

1997 Howden Moor Incident
- The Howden Moor Incident took place on March 24 1997 at about 22:00 on the Dark Peak. Two sonic booms were heard over the area, and recorded at this time, but the RAF denied having supersonic aircraft in the area. They later helped in the night-long search for a crashed aircraft, using helicopters and sniffer dogs from the police with 150 Mountain Rescue volunteers. No wreckage was found. A triangle-shaped UFO had been seen an hour before the sonic booms in the local area.

2000 Bonsall UFO
- The Bonsall UFO was an incident said to occur at 21.15 on October 5, 2000, in Bonsall in Derbyshire, near Matlock, where a woman named Sharon Rowlands of Slaley claims to have observed a large luminous object, with a shimmering pink colour, hovering and rotating over a nearby field. She captured many minutes of the object on a camcorder. The video shows an out-of-focus ball of light that at one point appears to be made out of concentric circles similar to that of a photographic orb. The video she made is slightly out-of-focus as she tries to zoom in closer to the object. Rowlands reported it to her local newspaper, the Matlock Mercury, which then reported on her story; a report also appeared in the "Daily Mail" on February 9, 2001.
