Star Hill Revisited

Two Warminster sky-watching veterans revisit 'Star Hill'....

The late 1960s saw the Wiltshire town of Warminster become famous for sightings of unidentified flying objects - UFOs - mostly seen by sky-watchers who flocked to the area hoping to glimpse alien spacecraft.

Cradle Hill, to the north of the town, became their primary sky-watching site but some discovered an alternative dark but quieter area to the east of the town. They named it Star Hill and it remained a favourite sky-watching location for over a decade.

Half a century on, Star Hill is virtually forgotten in UFO history - but two former sky-watchers take a trip down memory lane.
