Rendlesham Forest

Woodbridge, UK

The incident at Rendlesham Forest may be one of the best pieces of eyewitness evidence for alien existence. We may never know the full story of what happened between December 26 and 27, 1980. It is one of the few officially documented UFO sightings where witnesses claim to have seen a craft land.

James Penniston was sent as part of a team to investigate an aircraft crash after strange lights were observed emitting from the trees. What they saw was a strange triangular aircraft, unlike any they had seen before. Officer Jim Penniston’s witness account describes a craft made from smooth, opaque, black glass and was covered in hieroglyphic-like characters. When they approached, their radios malfunctioned and the air seemed to pop and fizzle with electricity. After they inspected the aircraft, the lights emitting from the side started to burn brighter, and the aircraft soundlessly rose from the ground. 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. 

O Incidente na Floresta de Rendlesham é a ocorrência ufológica mais famosa e mais importante do Reino Unido, sendo comparado com o Incidente de Roswell dos Estados Unidos e por vezes referido como o “Roswell britânico”.

A série de avistamentos no final de dezembro de 1980, perto das bases militares gêmeas de Bentwaters e Woodbridge, operadas pela USAF, como parte da maior presença militar dos Estados Unidos na Europa, incluiu várias dezenas de abalizadas testemunhas militares, entre elas o vice-comandante da base, tenente-coronel Charles Halt.

Nas primeiras horas de 26 de dezembro de 1980, dois membros da USAF (John Burroughs e Jim Penniston), que haviam sido enviados para investigar a presença de um avião civil suspeito, encontraram uma aeronave desconhecida que aparentemente havia desembarcado em uma pequena clareira na Floresta de Rendlesham, que ficava entre as bases gêmeas. Penniston chegou perto o suficiente para ver símbolos hieroglíficos estranhos no casco e até tocá-los. Depois de algum tempo, a nave subiu lentamente acima das copas das árvores e depois acelerou em alta velocidade.

Uma análise subsequente do local de aterrissagem mostrou indentações no chão formando um triângulo, marcas de queimaduras nas laterais das árvores e níveis de radiação que a equipe científica do Ministério da Defesa do Reino Unido avaliou como sendo “significativamente maior do que o nível normal”. O OVNI foi brevemente rastreado pelo radar militar.

Duas noites depois, o OVNI retornou e disparou raios de luz contra o vice-comandante da base e uma pequena equipe de homens que foram investigar. Mais tarde, disparou raios de luz em uma área particularmente sensível da Base de Woodbridge.

Este foi e continua sendo certamente o caso ufológico mais pesquisado do Reino Unido e que recebe a maioria das consultas, tanto de militares, políticos, ufólogos, da mídia e do público. Para poder esclarecer melhor todos os seus pontos, a favor ou contra, examinei criticamente todas as várias teorias que procuraram explicar os avistamentos em termos convencionais, como identificação errônea, fraude ou ilusão, e procedi a uma revisão retrospectiva do incidente a partir de livros e documentos, algo semelhante a reconstituição fria dos acontecimentos que você irá ler com exclusividade na última edição da Revista COSMOVNI, editada pelo advogado e ufólogo Flori Antonio Tasca.

Rendlesham forest

The Rendlesham forest incident happened in December 1980 in England, just outside a U.S. military base. Four soldiers claim to have spotted a mysterious light in the forest and they walk towards it to discover a strange object. An object they believe to be an alien spacecraft, but it disappears in a flash when one of them touches it.

So I had to do a book report in 8th grade. It had to be nonfiction, and something that interests me, so I picked aliens. The book I read was “Encounter in Rendlesham Forest” by Nick Pope, with John Burroughs and Jim Penniston. These are my notes! If you have any questions, please tell me. I love space, aliens, and all things like this and I’d love to clear up any confusion! Also, if anyone has anything to add please share! I love learning new things about space!

Rendlesham Forest is the “best documented UFO sighting”

UFO-Unidentified Flying Object, which does not mean spaceships or anything.

The encounter lasted 3 nights long, between two USAF bases in England

Many skeptics witnessed it, and began to believe in aliens afterwards.

This mainly focuses on John Burroughs (27 years USAF Airmen, first class), and Jim Penniston (Senior NCO)

Both had the first encounter, and suffered from time loss and health issues afterwards. Medical files became classified when they needed them, and threats involved

Burroughs saw red and blue lights while patrolling, the thing was believed to have crashed.

No military flying activity was going on then.

Burroughs alerted his superior (Staff Sergeant Bud Steffens)

A white light was then added and as the 2 men came over, it seemed as if it was heading toward them.

LE duty desk sergeant, Sergeant “Crash” McCabe was then alerted. He then passed it on to the Central Security Control, which was Staff Sergeant John Coffey, who then spoke to the on-duty flight chief at RAF Woodbridge,Staff Sergeant James W. Penniston.

He was not briefed on situation, but headed over with driver. Was simply told to “rendezvous with Burroughs and Steffens at East Gate, where he’d be told the nature of the situation.

This raises the possibility of some people in the “chain of command” knew more than they were saying or were not supposed to say over communications systems.

Occurred after midnight, on Christmas, no military flight, no explosions, no civilian aircraft

Steffens said “It didn’t crash, it landed”

Penniston called Master Sergeant J.D. Chandler

15 minutes previous,a bogey (a radar or visual air contact whose identity is unknown) had been tracked but lost over Woodbridge base.

Chandler came out to meet them

Penniston, Burroughs, and Cabansag drove into the forest until it was too rough, and they had to continue on foot.

They advanced, and saw lights.Cabansag said they were “blue, red , white, and yellow.”

Chandler arrived. All four radios malfunctioned simultaneously.

Air was full of static electricity, they were struggling to go forward, describing it as akin to wading in deep water.

They reached a clearing, where an “explosion, silent, full of light” hit them.

They eventually proceeded. Penniston looked over to Burroughs and saw him covered in “light from above”

Penniston saw in the clearing a “small metallic craft, about three meters high, three meters across. Roughly triangular and appeared to hover, or rest on three legs, one on each corner.”

Bank of blue lights on the side, white light on top.

No sound whatsoever.

Penniston approached, seeing strange symbols on the side, earest match was Egyptian Hieroglyphics.

He touched it, the side was smooth.

When he touched the symbols, however, they were rough.

When the symbols were touched, white light flared so brightly that Penniston was temporarily blinded. It rose and left soon afterwards.

Penniston wrote down “Speed-impossible”

Burroughs has no memories, yet drew the craft.

The radios weren’t working, they had been missing for 45 minutes, watches were frozen

Blotters were stolen, all evidence taken.
