Cradle Hill Skywatches, Warminster.

Hill on the edge of Warminster that became the focal gathering point for nightly UFO skywatches during the Warminster flap, drawing crowds of enthusiasts through the late 1960s and 1970s.
Cradle Hill (and nearby Starr Hill) functioned as the social and ritual center of the Warminster phenomenon—torch-signalling 'contact' attempts, group vigils, and recurring lights-in-the-sky reports. The reported lights are widely attributed to aircraft, flares, and military activity over Salisbury Plain, making the site a cultural landmark of the flap rather than independent evidence of craft.
