During the late 1960s, on weekends and bank holidays, the 11,000 population of Warminster was swelled by hundreds of UFO enthusiasts. Pilgrims were forced to camp in fields as there were not enough hotels. As night fell the hills around the town were thronged with expectant sky-watchers all hoping for a personal sighting of ‘The Warminster Thing’.

They were undaunted by the fact that one of the key skywatch locations, Cradle Hill, sat alongside the largest military training zone in the UK.

The Barn used to be covered in otherworldly graffiti, only faint markings remain.
