U.S. Military Releases UFO Sighting Tape After 30 Years

Lawrence Mijares - AHN News Contributor
Woodbridge, Suffolk, United Kingdom (AHN) - In December,1980, two unidentified airmen from the U.S. Air Force Bentwaters base led by Col. Charles Halt went to investigate an "UFO event" in Rendlesham Forest near Woodbridge, Suffolk, England. What they saw and encountered that night was recorded on tape.
http://www.allheadlinenews.com/images/cp.gif Now released after 30 years, the tape discloses that after reaching the site, the investigating team found pine trees damaged 15 to 18 feet up from the ground. Barnyard animals were noisy and very active. A yellowish light drew near the investigators from a distance.
Halt later reported the incident to the British Ministry of Defense with nothing definite released to the public. Speculation as to what really happened soon followed, most notable of which was the conspiracy theory of Western governments trying to cover up alien interventions at nuclear sites.
The Bentwaters air base was used in the 1980s to store nuclear weapons, and the now-retired colonel says that his UFO encounter is supported by sightings from other U.S. troops at the base who reportedly saw “triangular, dark metallic objects, that vanished at high speeds” coupled with ground depressions suggesting that the UFO landed, according to an account in bluntblogger.com.
The tape still hasn’t provided any definite explanation of what actually happened that night.

Hello, a member of Avalon Chat asked me to relay this:

[10:10] <pangaea> ah, well theres a post up there that need correction
[10:11] <pangaea> i refare to this: http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?7714-U.S.-Military-Releases-UFO-Sighting-Tape-After-30-Years-UFO-event-in-Rendlesham
[10:11] <pangaea> in the post and original article, its stating that the tape has only just been released by nasa
[10:12] <pangaea> thats not right at all, since a drum and bass group "Photek" produced a single back in 1995 (tho was produced in 94) entitled "ufo" clearly using samples from that tape
[10:12] <pangaea> http://www.discogs.com/Photek-UFO-Rings-Around-Saturn/release/310
[10:12] <pangaea> so that post is wrong
[10:13] <pangaea> including the original article
[10:13] <pangaea> also, ive heard segments of that very same tape used other times even before that release by photek at music parties i attended when i was younger
[10:14] <pangaea> anyway, thought i aught to make the correction, since im not registered on the avalon forum, perhaps you or somone else can post thoses links

[10:20] <pangaea> however im not saying the tape itself is not genuine or in fact this event did or did not happen, im simply correcting the fact that the tape has to have been in some sort of public domain state before that new article was writen

[Project_Buggy_Beach]

I found the article interesting, the Avalon group as usual has many insights to offer, thanks for all the good information, I've never been to a dance party that played such information! :cool:

Rendlesham Forest UFO incident
Transcript of Col. Halt’s tape


Transcribed by Ian Ridpath

This is a transcript of the cassette tape recording made by Lt.Col. Charles Halt on the night of the second sighting of the Rendlesham Forest UFO (i.e. the early hours of 1980 December 28). Halt made the recording on a hand-held dictation machine which he carried for note-taking. There are many gaps and jumps in the recording as he switched the machine on and off; although the tape itself lasts less than 18 minutes it covers activities over a period of hours. Those familiar with the case will recognize certain differences between the descriptions on the tape and Col. Halt’s subsequent recollections from memory.
To set the scene: on the night of Saturday, 1980 December 27 Lt Col Halt was at an officers’ dinner at RAF Woodbridge when Lt Bruce Englund came in and said: “The UFO is back”. A group of men had reportedly seen unexplained lights in the forest, although unlike the first night we have no first-hand accounts from these witnesses. Halt returned to his quarters at RAF Bentwaters to change and joined the group out in the forest some time after midnight on December 28. The investigation initially focused on the supposed landing marks that had been found on the morning of December 26. Not until two-thirds of the way through the tape is an unidentified flashing light sighted (bottom of page 2 of this transcript). Throughout the events recorded on the tape, it is Bruce Englund who is guiding Halt around the site and he is also the person who first points out the flashing light. Englund himself has never gone on record about the events of that night.
As well as Halt and Englund, the main character heard on the tape is Sergeant Monroe Nevels, who was operating the geiger counter. One other airman referred to by name is “Bob” (Sergeant Bobby Ball). Col Halt has helped clarify certain exchanges and identify the voices for me, so this is the nearest we are likely to get to an “authorized” version, and I am grateful to him for his assistance. However, I should add that Col Halt does not subscribe to my overall interpretation of the case.
You can hear the tape for yourself by downloading it in MP3 format (12.3 MB) from here or in Windows Media Audio format (2.3 MB) here: http://www.ufocasebook.com/audio/charleshalt.wma. Other postings of the tape can be heard on MySpace and the Paranormal Cafe. All these recordings are taken from a copy of the original tape made by Col Halt who simply placed a microphone in front of a loudspeaker – various background noises can be heard in the room, including Halt’s own voice and a cough.
I have added notes in a few places to clarify what is being said or to draw attention to points of interest. For my complete analysis of the tape, see here.


There are few links to follow on the above page...


It's certainly been available earlier if found in ufocasebook archives.

As many of you may know. History Channel has recently aired the episode of Rendlesham Forest witness Jim Penniston on his recent exposure of 12(or 6) pages of Binary numbers he wrote down in his notebook.

Here's the video segment, David Wilcock talks and gives his hypotheses on the matter. They also tie it in with an ancient celtic folklore island named Hy Brasil; the "other" Atlantis", I also believe Linda Moulton Howe made the initial connection.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpvEShmpwHU

At the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Rendlesham Forest Incident. James Penniston responds to the question : "How could you keep this unknown from others for so long before you finally decided to expose these 12 pages of binary code."


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB9pnL4fSH0

Jim Penniston and John Burroughs talk about the binary code.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhdUbcAwdcM

What do you think we should really be discussing? The nature of the message, or the credibility of the witnesses story?

*Note: We sent a disk on a satellite which explained where we were and contained DNA and some info in Binary.

Skepticism: Sgt Penniston does seem to show, through his accounts, all along that he would have been close enough to "touch" the craft. So we can't rule out that he was to far away.

@ minute aprox. 1:20 where Sgt. Penniston starts to describe how he received the code, on two separate occasions Pennistons eyes shot up and to the right (from the viewers angle). Although eye movement as an indicator of deception is very very very shakey. This eye movement is consistent with a person pulling from memory rather than the portion of the brian for imagination.
Eye Movement

@ minute aprox 2:20 where Sgt. Penniston gives his reason as to why he didn't release this information. He makes a few statements as follows "you're not right" & "they'll take your gun...". The basic premise is that he thought people would question his mental stability.

Taking him @ his word that he "didn't even know what binary was", it is, at the very least plausible that Sgt. Peniston would actually hide this information. Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. It's 1980 or 1981. Imagine yourself receiving this "mental picture" of apparently random numbers that you have to write down secretly in a notebook. Just pages and pages of numbers with no meaning, writing them at night to try and help yourself fall asleep. With his other accounts on record he always had other officers that would back up what he saw. In this case all he has is a dream and chicken scratch numbers in an old notebook. You can definitely see how it could happen. But there is so many questions to this that I'll leave it for another time.

Lastly:

In doing some research on "Hy Brazil" I came across it's actual name: "Tierra Da Vera Cruz" but it was soon changed. There is additional information out there On Tierra but I haven't spent much time on it yet.

I also found this interesting: a little paragraph in the book "Seafaring Lore and Legends" mentions a Scottish sea captain named Nesbet who claimed to have landed on Hy Brazil in the late 1600's. He stated that the island was inhibted by a "magician in a castle".

Seafaring Lore (http://books.google.com/books?id=2TRxLhG2GiwC&pg=PA39&lpg=PA39&dq=In+1674+a+Scottish+sea+captain+named+Nisbet&source=bl&ots=QohrelJdBG&sig=JVSOXv6-TAcufk1OYm7v9kSIMBI&hl=en&ei=ZD4gTeafE8qFnAep2tSpDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=In%201674%20a%20Scottish%20sea%20captain%20named%20Nisbet&f=false)

I seen this over on ATS.I actually found the Hy Brazil information more interesting as i have never heard of it and am in the UK.
I find it just too much of a coincidence that binary code is all over the internet recently and there are Text to binary converting websites springing up everywhere, people conversing in binary on forums etc. and all of a sudden after 30 years this guy suddenly has this AWESOME alien message from (of all places) Rendelsham Forest one of the most rigorously investigated cases in the history of Ufology. I know all about fear of losing his job etc. Im not buying it (and i would love too believe me)

Yes, if this turns out to be false, than this will really hurt the credibility of the entire Rendlesham event. Maybe something did happen and he's trying to make money off something fabricated? Either way--it's not a good look for something that is equated to the UK version of Roswell. Not to mention, Nick Pope and Linda Moulton Howe are also involved in this matter.

[MariaDine]

.........you mean, they want to get a «scoop» at the expense of Penniston search for proeminence ? ...I see, they want more then those 15 minutes of Fame...Well, they are chossing their timming very well, because people love Ufo stories and Cryptology !

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10028-Explanation-of-Binary-Code

[str8thinker]

I watched the Ancient Aliens episode too, and find it extraordinary that Penniston was not only able to recall 10 or more pages of binary code, but sat on it for 30 years without having it translated!


There are a lot of questions about this new evidence. Penniston has been interviewed in magazines, podcasts and at UFO conventions for over twenty years. At no point has he mentioned these binary messages. Likewise, his colleague and fellow witness, Burrows, has never mentioned the codes either despite having appeared in the same interviews. It’s difficult to accept that nobody has seen these binary messages in the book when he’s taken it ‘on tour’ for 3 decades. Time will tell.

Jim Oberg (ATS forum member) commented here (http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread326227/pg5#pid8736564):

Commercial sponsors LOVE shows that specifically ATTRACT judgment-impaired viewers who will believe ANYTHING they are told. This means more sales of the sponsoring agencies' goods and services. The more gullible and disbelief-suspended the audience, the higher the profit.

Any TV show that accepts Zacharia Sitchin's interpretations about the Annunaki (see earlier episode, I can't recall which one) loses credibility for me, after Michael Heiser's scholarly debunking of his claims.

[New Dawn]

I'd like to believe the binary thing, but we live in a time where you can decode messages in binary through google search engine, and it would have been most handy if he told us this back in the day. he says he thought he might have lost his job, but considering people probably thought he was mad in the first place for saying he saw a ufo, I feel he already threw caution to the wind, so why would he fear sharing a bunch of '0' and '1' with us?

I'm so disheartened by the whole subject because of crap like this. Maybe all the people that laugh at me for believing in ufo's have a right to after all.

[Dale]

I'm so disheartened by the whole subject because of crap like this. Maybe all the people that laugh at me for believing in ufo's have a right to after all.

I can understand such a feeling.

The funny thing about other worldly craft is that they will continue to fly about whether we believe in their existence or not. The topic becomes a laughing issue when individuals or groups begin to attach irrational beliefs, based upon speculation or hearsay, to these crafts' origins and purposes for being here.

[str8thinker]

BTW, thanks Heise for the Seafaring Lore link.

You might like to d/l the actual book here (http://www.mediafire.com/?i0491jsoas6q3mb) rather than reading about it on Google.

The story of Hy Brasil begins on p.38 (actual page) - p.54 PDF of Seafaring Lore.

[zelda]

I saw the episode and the meaning of the binary numbers is quite disturbing. I wish they can decode the rest of the pages.

[Gardener]

"Intelligence papers on a reported UFO sighting known as the "Rendlesham incident" have gone missing, files from the National Archives reveal."

Yea right...

[Flyswim]

Thanks for this. Funnily enough, I was watching a You Tube thang about Rendlesham the other day - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2CJY2VyCfo

I often wonder why 'they' don't just fake reports rather than declare them as missing. Missing stuff is always so much more intriguing, innit.

Linda Moulton Howe presents a detailed update about the mysterious, unidentified lights, beams and craft seen by at least thirty military men on the last week of December 1980 and other sightings in January 1981, in the Rendlesham Forest between RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge Military Base in England. No one in the U. K. or American governments officially called the event "extraterrestrial" until June 25, 2009. That day former RAF Bentwaters Deputy Base Commander, Col. Charles I. Halt, said in a press release that "the unidentified lights and beams I saw in Rendlesham Forest, were extraterrestrial in origin and that the security services of both the United States and England were and have been complicit in trying to subvert the significance of what occurred at Rendlesham by use of well-practiced methods of disinformation."

Featured in Linda's presentation are former Airman 1st Class, John Burroughs, who was assigned to RAF Bentwaters police duty. John was in Rendlesham Forest on both December 26 and 28, 1980, interacting with the highly strange aerial phenomena. Afterward, some military colleagues thought John either jumped on a craft of unknown origin or was taken upward into a large, aerial light. Even now, thirty years later, John has disturbing dreams and trouble sleeping. John had hypnosis in 1988 that broke through some of his memory block. Then in October 2008, Linda found a hypnotherapist to help John Burroughs remember more about the telepathic lights.

Linda Moulton Howe will also present new details about December 27, 1980, and comments from former RAF Bentwaters Deputy Base Commander Charles I. Halt; former USAF security officer Staff Sgt. James Penniston, who touched a black, glassy, triangular craft; and other military men now coming forward, including a dramatic sighting of a 300-foot-diameter, cigar-shaped craft above the RAF Woodbridge East Gate of the Military Instillation, on January 9, 1981.

Would love to hear people's thoughts on this. I'm not sure what mine are yet.

[Adrift]

This is timely, I'd just - a couple of hours ago - reached the Rendlesham Forest incident report in The Most Amazing Haunted and Mysterious Places in Britain (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Amazing-Haunted-Mysterious-Britain-Readers/dp/0276445457). Thanks Gardener!

[The One]

This is just a reminder of this incident

The tape recordings of US military personnel investigating a suspected UFO landing have been kept quiet for 30 years, till now with this military release of the tapes!


Just after Christmas 1980, the airmen from USAF Bentwaters air base went to investigate an event in Rendlesham Forest near Woodbridge, Suffolk.

The tapes are a vivid account of what they found.

It is clear that they thought they were witnessing some type of phenomena, with descriptions of "strange" lights in sky and odd damage to pine trees 15ft to 18ft off the ground.

One of the Americans is heard to say: "I hear very strange sounds of farmers - barnyard animals. They're very, very active, making a lot of noise.

"Straight ahead. There it is again. Straight ahead. What is it? A strange small red light.

"It looks maybe half a mile further ahead. Go back to the edge of the clearing, see if we can get a look at it... the animals have gone quiet now... It is deathly calm."


There are a number of different theories; everything from aliens landing and lights from a lighthouse at nearby Orford to a mishap ,which was covered up.

Sgt. James Penniston holds the key to solving the ufo phenomenon! James Penniston set on the ground with an unidentified aerial craft for over an hour. He also made sketches of the craft, and he drew symbols that were on the craft!

James Penniston also recieved pages of binary code after he touched the craft! The binary code was later partially decoded! The code also gave latitude and longitude coordinates! Lt col Charles Halt also witnessed the Rendlesham Forest incident!

It was not by accident that James Penniston was chosen! The binary code information was down loaded into his brain for a specific reason! But why did they pick sgt. Penniston? What other info was down loaded into into Penniston? And when will they make contact with penniston again? There is no doubt in my mind that james penniston is a crucial piece of the puzzle!

This is one of the best documented UFO encounters of recent times.An event that
even Nick Pope says is genuine ! and the one he quotes when infiltrating the UFO
circuit, LOL...

Linda Moulton -Howe is in a different league and this is a very detailed
presentation,with lots of quotes and audio from the peolpe who were there.
Starting with a history of the base and the fact it was cold war nuclear facility.
A good reason for ET's to be monitoring it.

Aprox 18 mins in she plays a tape of John Burroughs during a hypnotic regression
from Nov 11 1988 about events at 3am Dec 26 1980......


This is a really good detailed presentation and john Burroughs joins Linda on
the stage at 1hr.11min mark.

Published on 27 Dec 2012


New information and incredible possibilities are exposed in this updated lecture about one of the most documented UFO landings in history.

Although everything says this is a 2012 presentation, during it Linda makes
reference to a 2009 interview, saying it was made last year. So it could be
2010 ? i'l keep looking.At the end Linda confirms its from 2010, but still
a very good presentation imo...Cheers..

[Cidersomerset]

Lindas conclusion from the regression information that these visitors are us from40,000 yrs in the future is interresting and ties in possibly with Dan Burich...


It was later learned that the reason that the J-Rod insisted on this change of personnel, was because he recognized Dan as one of the abducted children on the craft he had been aboard that day back in the early 1970s. It is always difficult to explain this, since discussing the movement through time as well as space is difficult.9 This particular J-Rod had been traveling in the company of a group of P45s (a J-Rod group originating approximately 45,000 years into the future) who were doing the abduction sampling that day in the early 1970s. He then traveled back to 1953 on a different mission which ended in a crash near Kingman, AZ. He was recovered from that crash location and taken to S-4 and housed there. As a result of his presence on the craft when Dan was abducted, he felt a strong connection to Dan.

[Lifebringer]

Yes! it won't be long now. I'd say by next year if not later in the pre fall time frame. About 6-10 months of public briefing and in the summer next year a possible physical visit among the leaders on how late we are on fixing/cleaning this planet, and the deceitful ones arrested and the testimony of all those harmed put forth.

May God bless those who put their lives on the line to tell US the truth, because the past 43 Presidents have NOT. Perhaps the reason for Barack being in, is the calming explaination like Morgan Freeman in the Sudden Impact movie?

It would make sense since he doesn't lie. You haven't heard 1 lie in his almost 5 years in there, and my guess is it's rubbed lots of those in DC who have lived on this lying game of taking all you can from the people, while telling them nothing of who they are. IS-Be? Immortal Spiritual Beings? Trapped on a prison planet and unless we can "rise" above it, will continue to have our souls trapped here by their web in the sky and hypnotic suggestions that we want to come back here, even though we are finished with our life's mission. What a dirty trick.

[ThePythonicCow]

It would make sense since he doesn't lie. You haven't heard 1 lie in his almost 5 years in there
If by "he" you mean US President Obama ... then ... well ... the Obama you're listening to is not the one I'm listening to.

[KiwiElf]

Linda Moulton-Howe is one dynamic lady I'd love to have a coffee with and a "long chat" - the things she could tell us! ;)

[boja]

Not only is the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident one of the best documented cases so far, but this video is one of the best overall accounts of the incident.

Another advantage since it happened only 32 years ago, whereas Roswell happened 65 years ago, is that most of the witnesses are still alive.

In this video Linda Moulton-Howe has done a great job by collecting many witness testimonies and compiling them in chronological order so that we can all follow the sequence of events which took place over several days and more.

An excellent overview for anybody new to the subject who wishes to understand what happened.

It's just very sad that it has taken 32 years for this information to have been brought out into the public domain where it belongs.
Not to mention of course that there's still more to come !

If the authorities already knew that Sgt Jim Penniston was not telling them everything, then they must have much more infomation which they are not disclosing.
The powers that be need to start telling the truth because the people are waking up and getting angry.

The longer that they continue with their policy of denial, the bigger the rod which they're making for their own backs.
Sadly, it could all end in tears.

[Skywizard]

This may be old news but the way they talk the letter has been sent.

One of the most compelling parts of the recent Citizen Hearing on Disclosure was the testimony from Sergeants John Burroughs and Jim Penniston in regards to their inability to access their medical records from 1980 when they had encountered an unidentified flying object while on active duty at RAF Bentwaters. Many people are familiar with the Bentwaters UFO Incident, but it was only recently made public that both Burroughs and Penniston suffered from radiation exposure while they were in close proximity to the unknown object and have also suffered from anomalous physical injuries. In recent years they have tried to get medical attention and the Veterans Administration has discovered that their medical records from that time period while they were in service are classified and unavailable. Why would that be? Nobody knows whether their incident was of extraterrestrial origin or part of a covert operation, but the fact that their medical records are classified proves that something extraordinary did happen.

You Tube hasn't taken this one down yet.

Brought into light by Congress?
This title is misleading..
Testimony from whistleblowers and witnesses was given to former members of Congress at the Citizens Hearing for Disclosure, not before Congress!
One of those ex Congressmen suggests that he will write a letter to Obama about medical records from Bentwaters military personel, but nowhere in this video is the "Bentwaters UFO Incident Brought Into The Light By Congress".
Nor, to my knowledge is that the case, though hopefully it will be at some point.

You were right about the heading -does this sound better? 5:45 into the video said the letter had been signed by the 6 former congress men (women) and sent. It's probably a waste of time, I just hopes he reads it.

Does what sound better?
(You will probably have to ask a Mod to help you change the thread title, if you tried and failed.)
update: I see the thread title has been changed now.
Whether Obama reads it or not is probably not that relevant.
I think he already knows about a lot of this stuff.
It's what his handlers permit him to acknowledge in public that counts.

The former ex-Congress members who attended the Forum were invited in hopes that they will bring the subject of ET presence to the attention of the current Congress and the UN; whether that has been accomplished as yet, I have not heard.
But I'm pretty sure it hasn't yet in any formal manner.
It will take some real courage on the part of those individuals to make any attempts to publicly challenge the "Truth Embargo".
Hopefully the documentary by that title will help to smooth the way for them, and I believe it is scheduled for release later this year.

Testimony from whistleblowers and witnesses was given to former members of Congress at the Citizens Hearing for Disclosure, not before Congress!

I changed this thread's title from:


Bentwaters UFO Incident Brought Into The Light By Congress
to:


Bentwaters UFO Incident Brought Into The Light at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure
Let me know if that doesn't seem right.

Here are some photos and commentary on the Rendlesham Forest incident. The photos I've never seen before though it is hard to make out quite what one is seeing. Interesting all the same.

If this is the one with the nuclear shutdown incident , the ET were sending a message , if we wanted to be hostile , look what we can do , in other words , they were clearly saying WE come in peace ...

[Bill Ryan]

The Scottish edition of the British newspaper The Sun has (astonishingly!) published what may be real photos of the incident at Rendlesham. Here's the article, dated yesterday.

(Note: we have a LOT of material about this in the Avalon Library, including the famous 'Halt tape'. All in this folder (https://avalonlibrary.net/?dir=Rendlesham_Forest_incident_1980).)

First ever ‘photos of Britain’s biggest UFO sighting show huge orb flying through woods with beam of light shooting out’

THESE spooky black and white photos allegedly show the UFO at the centre of Britain's biggest ever case for the first time.

They were supposedly taken in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk by a poacher who claims he saw the same UFO being hunted by a military team from a nearby US airbase.

A new 'witness' has released these photos claiming they show the Rendlesham Forest UFO

One of them appears to show a beam of light shooting out of a giant orb

The witness claims he took them when he was poaching 40 years ago

The alleged witness claims he was 200ft away from Colonel Charles Halt, deputy base commander of RAF Bentwaters, and his men, when he spotted the glowing orb - in an unsolved case often dubbed the British Roswell after the infamous US UFO crash.

He said: "When I was younger, I was a poacher. I lived very close to Rendlesham Forest and frequently went poaching there. So back in 1980, 28 December, I was in the forest poaching.

"Now bear this in mind, before this encounter I saw and heard a lot of strange things in that forest. I could tell you stories that would bend your bones, so every time I went poaching, I always took my camera always hoping to capture some evidence."

The case involved military witnesses from the twin NATO bases RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk who saw strange lights in late December 1980.

The alleged witness says what he saw was 'definitely extra terrestrial'

Two airmen, Staff Sgt Jim Penniston and Airman John Burroughs, claim they got so close to a triangular craft they actually touched it.

Colonel Halt then led a military team into the forest to investigate the sightings.

They also saw strange lights and a red orb with a black centre "winking" back at them and claimed a UFO fired a beam of light near their feet.

Halt later wrote a memo to the MOD describing the freakish incident but it was filed away by defence chiefs.

The poacher said: "I saw a basketball sized red orb, it had a black centre like a pupil and looked just like an eye winking at you, just like Halt explained it.

For the last 40 years the Rendlesham Forest incident has been regarded as Britain's most famous UFO sighting

https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/NINTCHDBPICT000651210444.jpg?strip=all&w=615
US Airforce colonel Charles Halt, pictured, led an investigation into the incident

"It was zig zagging between the trees, strange, freaked me out, weird, proper not right, I saw it before Halt.

"It passed me first. Halt and his team were about 200 meters away, I could hear all the noise. Later I saw another UFO - it was firing beams of light down to the ground, definitely looking for something, God knows what.

"I tell you, what I witnessed was simply incredible, definitely extra-terrestrial. No two ways about it.

"You can read books and watch TV shows about it, but I'm telling you, you had to be there to really understand and appreciate just how incredible this thing was, changed my life forever.

"I've sat on this information for over 40 years and it feels good to get it out and show the truth.

"After this thing happened, I was followed for weeks, I had my phone tapped - scary time."

The poacher submitted his photos and story anonymously through the UFO Casebook website (https://www.ufocasebook.com/), which collects information about UFO sightings from around the world.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/NINTCHDBPICT000378395540.jpg?strip=all&w=720

Now retired, Halt was sent into the forest to debunk an earlier sighting when he says a UFO fired a beam of light at him and his men British UFO sleuth Philip Mantle, a former director of investigations for the British UFO Research Association, is keeping an open mind on the photos.

He said: "With today's digital technology I have become very wary of any alleged UFO photographs, even more so when the photographer is anonymous as he is here with these pictures.

"Before I could come to any conclusions, I would have to know a lot more detail about the type of camera, the film, the exposure and so on. Remember, if these photos are authentic and taken in 1980, they would be on film and not digital.

"Until I have more information on these photos the jury remains open but I would have to proceed with the utmost caution."

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

I'm a little sceptical about these photos. To suddenly 'appear' from nowhere after 40 years, and anonymously, is slightly suspicious. As a photographer myself, in the 80s, and operating almost entirely in black and white at the time, and being very familiar with film types, grain patterns (these look more like video captures), and the speed and exposure (and skill) necessary to capture nighttime images, (taken by an amateur 'poacher'), I'm doubly suspicious.

Very cool if they are for real and that I'm misreading this, but as Mantle says, need a lot more information!

Quite surprisingly late in the day I see that there isn't a link anywhere here to the tape itself. Further interesting as it was my first submission to the library some four years or so ago, before becoming the librarian :)

Here it is.

Hi everyone, all valid points. I love what @Star Mariner said.

I wanted to throw my two cents in here. I am friends with Jim Penniston and sent him this link back in April 2021:
https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/346418/another-rendlesham-ufo-photo-has-emerged

I asked him what he thought and he said it was definitely fabricated. He then sent me an image of what the craft looked like. It's a pretty cool computer image that I thought I would share with y'all:
https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6e787f_a78dd8fa48354f7d96d5db3bc10049fe~mv2.jpeg

If you are interested, I thought I would also share an interview I conducted with Jim back in 2020. Hope you enjoy!

I don't want to be a buzzkill, but I cannot help but look at the image that was created, to depict what Jim saw, and see some major similarities with the stealth bombers, the flying wings, and many other things that people are seeing, and were seeing long before even the stealth type craft were built.... Such as Kenneth Arnold's sighting of the "Flying wing".. The fin at the top for stability, as many aircraft created by human hands.

I was once shown an image that appeared just like one of the craft that is supposedly in Area 51 / S4. I believe it was called the "licorice drop", or something along those lines. It was hovering off of the ground... While it may have been a manned craft, as was claimed, it would have been a single seater if this was the case, as it was more the size of an average military drone.

I know that there have been many throughout time, that have mastered gravity. Mastered creating pockets around their flying devices, and this was done a very long time ago... While some of these may be alien, I have to wonder about those showing up at military bases.. Are they really et? Or belonging to some military, perhaps smaller "Drones" being flown to show the others, "We have this, don't mess with us"... OR they could be having some failures, and the best place to take them in, would be the air base of someone that is an ally. This is just a possible secondary conclusion to the incident. One I always ponder when examining such things..

I believe the crashes in Nevada and New Mexico, as well as many other places, were more our military testing our own creations, and not alien at all... Why push an alien narrative? Well, if it got out that we had alien help, the other militaries of the world may tend to be a bit more cautious of engaging one particular country making such claims... And they could deny having such tech. I try to always consider many options when examining anything...

It reminds me of when "Balloons" were launched into the jet stream, by the Japanese, hoping they would come down in America, with bombs attached to them. Creating stories about possible "aliens crashing" would be a great cover for hiding both from the people, (To avoid mass panic), and those launching such balloons to be sent to America, from learning that they were actually landing!

They were called the Fu-Go balloons... They were testing this in 1945, and very possibly the "balloon" in Roswell, was our own attempt at such things? Or perhaps in 1947, the Japanese were still sending them... Hoping they made it to American soil... Perhaps some did blow up, and those bodies that were buried, were really parts of people that were blown apart by such bombs.. Of course that would be a top secret, and very classified issue in deed


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu-Go_balloon_bomb

I just think that those that investigate such things, forget to look to the obvious. Charles Hall, released weather balloons... I am sure they did so, for a very long time, and probably still do.. And perhaps there were "Drones" attached to such things, that had a limited capacity to be flown, so they transported them via balloon. It is easier to fly them on balloons than to truck them across the country where everyone can see them. I always ask "What would I do if I had this or that"... And if I can think of such things, I am sure the brightest military minds have both considered such things an even possibly tried them themselves at some point. I am not saying that this is what happened, just that there are many possibilities we have yet to even consider about many of the things we are investigating.

What I am saying is that Balloon may have been very real, only they may have omitted anything that may have been hanging from it, or attached to it. I laugh when I see articles that suggest a "Weather Balloon" can only carry 12 pounds. A 12 pound bomb could do a ton of damage. But who is to say they were traditional weather balloons being used, when we have hot air balloons that can carry baskets, and many people, for long distances? Who would think to shoot down a balloon?

We have laser tech, aircraft, and I am sure thousands of other things being created and tested all over America... Bases everywhere. I am sure many of those things have crashed, landed unexpectedly, and had problems. I am sure many died in the line of duty testing such things. We have structures all over the planet that we cannot recreate yet. So it begs the question, what about the missing tech? Why were the bases located where they were? Perhaps on top of things that were already there, and dug up? It doesn't need to necessarily be alien technology at all. But perhaps technology that was dug up from our very technological past... And repurposed.

With the HUGE leaps and bounds in the development and deployment of technology of late, in the public realm, it doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to think that perhaps the militaries of the world have far more than we could ever imagine. And have had it for quite some time. We have cloaking tech, levitation tech, and many many other things. We have people who fly black silent helicopters that suggest they are "Giving the illusion" of being ufo's.. Etc. It could very well be that some of the secret societies that seemingly run this world, aren't developing new things but REBUILDING their empires, as the masses get to the point where they can understand what it is they are "back engineering".

Having said all of that, I have had my own "Experiences" with "Supposed et".. And I had to wonder and investigate what kind of tech we have that could produce the same results, and I found that we do have much of it, if not all of it, if we look hard enough. So while I do nto deny what I experienced, I do question who created them, and why...

It seems we hit a tipping point around the 1940's. Prior to that people were telling of "Meeting others" upon cave exploration... Speaking of "Others" often.. And then things began to disappear. Books, maps, etc. Everything went secret.

All I know is that we are far from the truth... And as many others suggest, perhaps we need not look to the skies for "Others" when they may be walking alongside us now. And we just don't recognize them as such.

I do hope that we get some truth soon however. It is time...

Wow the photos of the ORBs, thank you so much for posting them... seen something very similar in Oregon. The object aimed a pinprick of light directly at me in the woods back in 2011, it happened about three times. On the third time I decided to start filming and this is what showed up. I called it an orb in my first upload but many years later in watching and analysis realized there was something behind the bright light. In one of Bills posts of the orb there is observed a surface area dimly lit around it which illuminates also in the vid posted below.

TRUE STORY: When The US Airforce Encountered UFO's:

Q57Nej_ugdU
Michael Aspel introduces stories of the unexplained, told through eyewitness accounts and reconstructions. From ghostly experiences to miracle cures, strange phenomena such as sea monsters, alien abductions and near death experiences, and tales of the downright weird, the stories are certainly strange... but are they true? This fascinating episode looks at one of the most common paranormal sightings - the UFO. We hear of one sighting in particular, at a US airbase in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, which is claimed was covered up by the Ministry of Defence. This film was first broadcast: 09 Dec 1994

The Rendlesham UFO Encounter and the Alien Message from the Future:

The Rendlesham UFO Encounter and the Alien Message from the Future

The night after Christmas, 1980, was the last time Airman First Class John Burroughs would ever lead a normal life.

He was on patrol at an American-operated Woodbridge Air Force base in southern England. Woodbridge and nearby Bentwaters - called the Twin Bases were rumored to possess nuclear materials. This was the middle of the Cold War, and tensions were high.

The threat of nuclear attack, global escalation, and more, sat heavy on the shoulders of Burroughs and his fellow servicemen. But their job was simple: keep themselves, their nation, and their allies safe.

So, Burroughs conducted his nightly rounds, checking the perimeter for anything that threatened the peace.
Suddenly, a bright light descended from the sky. Then another. Burroughs watched as the lights fell into the forest surrounding the base.

When he and his team arrived to inspect the crash site, they were worried it was a Soviet incursion. But, what they found was far more terrifying than anything the Soviets could think of.
