The Rendlesham Forest UFO incident of 1980 occurred near RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk, England, and is often referred to as “Britain’s Roswell.” Over several nights in late December, military personnel reported seeing strange lights and a triangular-shaped craft in the forest.
One witness, in particular, claimed to have encountered a landed craft, which emitted a mysterious light. The incident was officially documented by the U.S. Air Force, but no conclusive explanation was provided.
Mark Christopher Lee has had access to extensive records on the Rendlesham case at the Great British UFO Learning Centre run by ex CID police detective John Hanson. These have been used as the basis for his new film – The Rendlesham UFO – The British Roswell.
Lee states: “I have found a detailed and annotated sketch made by one of the first investigators of this case – Peter Parish. He made this sketch for the Deputy base Commander Colonel Halt and I’m not aware that this has been made public.
“It states that there were AT LEAST 6 craft that landed and as well as the military witnesses – one of these craft was seen landing by the Territorial Army who were camping nearby.
“They said that were it landed the sand turned to glass! A dog walker was said to have seen men in silver suits covering up a silver object a the impact site!.”
