Features
30 The Berwyn Mountain UFO Crash (Cover Story)
Extraterrestrial spacecraft, alien bodies, military retrieval teams, earth tremors, meteorites and the Men in Black - it might sound like Roswell, but this incredible story took place in North Wales in 1974. Andy Roberts attempts to separate fact from fiction to establish what really happened in the Berwyn Mountains 35 years ago.
36 Hoax! Part 3
In the final part of their article, Peter Brookesmith and Rob Irving examine the dynamics of deception and hoaxing as an art form.
42 Pygmy Pachyderms
Elephants are the world's largest land animals, but many people claim that there are some rather smaller ones out there too. Matt Salusbury weighs the evidence for and against the existence of pygmy elephants.

Strange Days
Polliwog precipitation; grisly impalings and amazing survivals; lost items return from the sea - or a buffalo dung pile; great apes show their tricks; heavenly visions; a confusing traffic sign, and a man too stoned to remember he'd never been married - and much more.
