RENDLESHAM UFO INCIDENT 26 DEC. 1980 – OFFICIAL FILES, REPORTS ETC.

Rendlesham Forest / Bentwaters

The Rendlesham Forest case is undoubtedly one of the best documented and most significant military encounters with a UFO. It is also very credible incident. The incident spanned four days in 1980. Rendlesham Forest is a large pine forest, east of Ipswich, in Suffolk, England. Nearby are the twin NATO air bases, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge; at the time both bases were being leased to the United States Air Force. Several UFO incidents, including multiple-witness sightings by military personnel, ground traces, and radioactive anomalies were reported from Rendlesham forest. According to USAF security patrolmen on duty, “the object was described as being metallic in apperance and triangular in shape, approx. 2-3 meters across the base… it illuminated the entire forest with a white light, and had a pulsing red light on top and a bank(s) of blue lights underneath.” In November, 2002, the British Ministry of Defense released the “Rendlesham File” of documents related to and confirming the Rendlesham Forest incident.

Rendlesham – The Unresolved Mystery

Nick Pope, UK Ministry of Defence

There has been much recent debate about the Rendlesham Forest incident, and some interesting and well-researched articles have appeared. How are we to make sense of the various conflicting views? Has the case really been resolved, or is there more work to be done before we can make such a claim?  R

It involved at least a dozen civilians from villages surrounding Rendlesham Forest, a large pine wood in south east Suffolk eight miles from the large town of Ipswich.

You Can’t Tell the People: The Definitive Account of the Rendlesham Forest UFO (Book)

Georgina Bruni

This is the casebook of the world’s only officially recognized UFO encounter that took place in the UK in December 1980. Previous accounts of the Rendlesham Forest incident have been flawed: people with axes to grind and little access to primary sources and discreditable single eyewitness accounts. Georgina Bruni has had access to police, Ministry of Defence and US military sources and her casebook reveals fresh information on the incident and the possible alien encounter that ensued. It includes interviews with those involved as well as other never-before-reported incidents in the area. The casebook also reveals details of the aftermath and the harsh treatment meted out to those who wavered from the “don’t ask, don’t tell” line of officialdom
