"The Rendlesham Incident" Topic

"Christmas Night 25th into 26th December 1980 – after reports of strange lights in Rendlesham Forest, three USAF security policeman are sent to investigate a possible downed aircraft from the nearby twin bases of Woodbridge and Bentwaters. One of the men, SSgt. Jim Penniston claims to have touched an unidentifiable black triangular craft with strange glyph like markings and received a ‘binary download' from it. Nearby John Burroughs described it as a bank of lights in the forest whilst Ed Cabansag was further back and describes a similar experience to Burroughs.

26th December 1980 – During daylight Penniston returns to the site and makes plaster casts of 3 equidistant indentations in the ground. Later that evening after further reports of lights in the forest a female shift commander ventures out into Rendlesham Forest , her patrol vehicle stalls and then a ball of blue light flies through the vehicle leaving her deeply traumatised and she is sent home.

27th/28th and /or 28th/29th December – More UFO sightings are made and Colonel Charles Halt, the deputy base commander leads a team into the forest, who record non-hazardous but higher than normal radiation readings at a suspected landing site. They follow a strange glowing red light as it moves through the trees which then disintegrates into small lights that disappear. Thousands of feet in the air strange craft are reported firing beams of light downwards in the areas of the twin bases. Parts of Halt's investigation are recorded on audio tape which is now in the public domain and commonly known as the Halt Tape.This may have also been the same night Larry Warren reported seeing a landed craft in a clearing in a sort of ground fog and small beings communicating with a senior officer…"

Saw many versions of this incident. And most having interviews with some of the most prominent USAF personnel involved. Very interesting …

Colonel Charles Halt has met Larry Warren and believes he is full of $ht. Larry Warren was stationed there around the time of the incidents. But none of the witnesses remember him being there. So they are thinking he heard about it and placed himself there and added to the story.

That would not surprise me … With this sort of event, or like e.g. Roswell. Many things that "eye witnesses" have "seen" may be "suspect".

Not to mention prone to later "edits", as in the case of SSgt. Penniston coming up with more and more details over time: skeptoid.com/episodes/4135

The same has occurred with the Tehran Incident of 1976 as well 4X.

For the believers, there's of course this recent development:
