We may never know the full story of what happened between December 26 and 27,
|
|
1980, in Rendlesham forest, located between two U.S. Air Force bases,
|
|
Woodbridge and Bentwaters, on England's east coast. The incidents remain
|
|
shrouded insecrecy. What we do know - learned through a painstaking, years-
|
|
long investigation by civilian researchers - is fantastic enough.
|
|
|
|
Just after midnight on December 26, eyewitnesses and radar screens followed an
|
|
unidentified object as it vanished into the forest. Soldiers dispatched to the
|
|
site encountered a luminous triangular-shaped craft, ten feet across and eight
|
|
feet high, with three legs. The UFO then retracted the legs and easily
|
|
maneuvered its way through the trees. The soldiers chased it into a field,
|
|
where it abruptly shot upward, shining brilliant lights down on them. At that
|
|
moment the witnesses lost consciousness. When they came to, they were back in
|
|
the forest. Other troops sent to rescue them found tripod landing marks where
|
|
the object apparently had rested.
|
|
|
|
The following evening, after observers reported strange lights, the deputy
|
|
base commander, Lt. Col. Charles Halt, led a larger party into Rendlesham.
|
|
There, Halt measured abnormal amounts of radiation at the original landing
|
|
site. Another, smaller group, off on a separate trek through the forest,
|
|
spotted a dancing red light inside an eerily pulsating "fog." They alerted
|
|
Halt's group, who suddenly saw the light heading toward them, spewing forth a
|
|
rainbow waterfall of colors. Meanwhile, the second group now watched a glowing
|
|
domed object in which they could see the shadows of figures moving about.
|
|
During the next hour both groups observed these and other darting lights.
|
|
|
|
Cable News Network learned that films and photographs were taken of these
|
|
events, despite official denials. According to curiously persistent rumors,
|
|
never verified but never conclusively disproved, occupants were encountered at
|
|
some point during the event.
|
|
|
|
When a constituent told him about the incident, U.S. Sen. James Exon launched
|
|
an extensive but secret inquiry. He has never revealed his findings, even to
|
|
staff members. He says only that he learned "additional information" that ties
|
|
the Rendlesham case to "other unexplained UFO incidents."
