    CNN even ran a story about it 80s because it was well known Nato base and claims made were astonishing.

    I typically wouldn't even drop-in on relatives unannounced, yet these aliens have the temerity to blitz a base with what sounds like a light show good enough for the millennium celebrations.

    I don't care how intelligent they are, without some basic manners and common courtesy, they shouldn't be welcomed on Earth.

    Noticed there was a big surge in sightings in the US around 1993. Coincidentally, that's when the X-files came out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,190 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    I would not call Rendlesham a flyover it was witnessed by over 30 soldiers on base and the deputy commander of one the largest nato bases in Europe in 80s, he saw it and recorded it by audio.

    Yeah and here's another take on it

    https://badufos.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-rendle-sham-case-phony-and-phonier.html
    Although the overall case is complex, the main aspects can be summarized as follows:
    1. Security guards saw bright lights apparently descending into Rendlesham Forest around 3 a.m on 1980 December 26. A bright fireball burned up over southern England at the same time.
    2. The guards went out into the forest and saw a flashing light between the trees, which they followed until they realized it was coming from a lighthouse (Orford Ness).
    3. After daybreak, indentations in the ground and marks on the trees were found in a clearing. Local police and a forester identified these as rabbit scrapings and cuts made by foresters.
    4. Two nights later the deputy base commander, Lt Col Charles Halt, investigated the area. He took radiation readings, which were background levels. He also saw a flashing light in the direction of Orford Ness but was unable to identify it.
    5. Col Halt reported seeing starlike objects that twinkled and hovered for hours, like stars. The brightest of these, which at times appeared to send down beams of light, was in the direction of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky.
    At its most basic, the case comes down to the misinterpretation of a series of nocturnal lights – a fireball, a lighthouse, and some stars. Such misidentifications are standard fare for UFOlogy. It is only the concatenation of three different stimuli that makes it exceptional.

    Nothing the described sounds like a lighthouse light. This lighthouse been there since the base was build and never fooled them before. Strange lighthouse light that does something different on those two days!

    False about the radition levels too. Nick Pope who was in UK MOD got the documentation and levels were higher than background levels.

    Who cares about a forester thoughts are about a sighting he never witnessed, he does even know where the landing happened and his admitted to this years later on tape.

    Cosmic bull**** again, Skeptics always go there and ignore they saw craft and lights a few hundred feet above the base shining lights directly down.

    Anyone who questions and applies reason to anything is skeptical. You're a skeptic, unfortunately you seem to have glaring blind spots where you completely switch it off when it comes to certain subjects

    Would I like to believe aliens are visiting earth? absolutely
    Is it happening? nothing close to conclusive yet
    Are some incidents/sightings difficult to explain? yup, but only some, the vast majority are nonsense

    People have an enormous capacity to a) lie and b) make **** up to satisfy a personal belief and literally believe that as the truth

    and c) develop an inability to separate a subject from themselves. A challenge on the subject is taken as a personal attack on themselves

    So getting back to it, this Rendlesham episode seems to fall apart a bit at the seams when examined

    You found a online website and some blogger guy said they most of seen a lighthouse light and they got fooled by it. Satisfied you now claim the episode falls apart, the last line of your post? You completely ignore there is audio of their encounter in the forest and we can hear their experience real-time as it was happening., i posted it. You weren't there in 80s to claim their episode is explained.

    Lighthouse explantation is so stupid, and that you buy into it, actually says more about you than me. I use my head and you're not. If the lighthouse was doing it then be happening daily if not weekly and the airmen on the base would have noticed.

    Airliners take off every damn day from multiple airports. Of course it easy to capture the plane on phone. We talking about phenomenon appears now and again randomly. Most of big sightings happened before mobiles came out. Some day soon i bet we going to capture it on on camera, but then again people can just say its CGI and fake. We never going to know unless the military releases video of a UFO and we know they have better footage.

    "According to the witness statements from 26 December the flashing light seen from the forest lay in the same direction as the Orfordness Lighthouse. When the eyewitnesses attempted to approach the light they realised it was further off than they thought. One of the witnesses, Ed Cabansag, described it as “a beacon light off in the distance” while another, John Burroughs, said it was “a lighthouse” (see Statements from eyewitnesses on 26 December, above)."

    "Timings on Halt’s tape recording during his sighting on 28 December indicate that the light he saw, which lay in the same direction as the light seen two nights earlier, flashed every five seconds, which was the flash rate of the Orfordness Lighthouse.[33]"

    Why didnt they just test the lighthouse theory another night so.... what about the radiation. Lights in the sky? Beams of light on the ground?

    Yup, but it should have been another group to test it under similar conditions, if anyone could be bothered

    There was no radiation found later (according to the links I posted), the lights in the sky could have been a fireball (which are rare, but do occur, as mentioned in the links), as for the lights on the ground, dunno

    Like I keep saying, it's always the same with these encounters. Never anything concrete. Like the aliens can master interstellar travel (which we are eons away from) but struggle with the whole stealth technology, and always seem to manage to remain "blurry", just tantalisingly out of reach, glimpses, lights in trees, etc. Eerily similar to ghost and Bigfoot sightings.

    Lighthouse is one blinking on and off light, on the tape there different multiple lights separate from each flying high in the sky going from one end of the sky to the next side. One light over near the farmer house, beamed a light to the ground like it was searching for something. You can even hear on the tape, station command, lights are over the woodbridge base. There just no way in hell they got fooled by lighthouse light that was flashing on and off for years. It disrespectable when one says the deputy commander of Nato nuclear base can't tell the difference between lighthouse light and ufo.

    Not accurate. I posted a picture awhile ago on this thread. Some people years later, claimed they faked it, but was never found to be right. Skeptics will go to extreme lengths to debunk something even claiming they faked the pictures.. Unfortunately for them similar pictures were also taken across Belgium and they also resemble this craft.

    False actually a UFO report got released by the Belgium government and their fighters chased and tracked the objects by radar. The Belgium government felt they tracked real UFOs.

    It was not a hoax, some random guy claimed he faked a picture. Wikipedia is posting cautiously and not aware of certain things that happened, in this case.

    The belgium government held a press conference and revealed video of the objects on screen. Watch the end of the video i posted, they showed video of multiple objects locked onto by fighters jets and was opinion of the belgium general the craft acceleration on radar would have killed a human pilot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,705 ✭✭✭Cheerful Spring2


    Just a screen shot of what they showed, this is the 90s- the quality of the plane onboard camera footage not great. But you can see the plane pilot was tracking and locking on, the two vertical lines at the top of the screen is the lock on..

    You should read the links you post

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendlesham_Forest_incident
    The most plausible skeptical explanation is that the sightings were due to a combination of three main factors.[31] The initial sighting at 3 am on 26 December, when the airmen saw something apparently descending into the forest, coincided with the appearance of a bright fireball over southern England, and such fireballs are a common source of UFO reports.[4] The supposed landing marks were identified by police and foresters as rabbit diggings.[32] No evidence has emerged to confirm that anything actually came down in the forest.

    According to the witness statements from 26 December the flashing light seen from the forest lay in the same direction as the Orfordness Lighthouse. When the eyewitnesses attempted to approach the light they realised it was further off than they thought. One of the witnesses, Ed Cabansag, described it as “a beacon light off in the distance” while another, John Burroughs, said it was “a lighthouse” (see Statements from eyewitnesses on 26 December, above).

    Timings on Halt’s tape recording during his sighting on 28 December indicate that the light he saw, which lay in the same direction as the light seen two nights earlier, flashed every five seconds, which was the flash rate of the Orfordness Lighthouse.[33]

    The star-like objects that Halt reported hovering low to the north and south are thought by some sceptics to have been misinterpretations of bright stars distorted by atmospheric and optical effects, another common source of UFO reports. The brightest of them, to the south, matched the position of Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky.[13]

    In his 6 January 2009 Skeptoid podcast episode titled "The Rendlesham Forest UFO," scientific sceptic author Brian Dunning evaluated the original eye-witness reports and audio recordings, as well as the resulting media reporting of this incident. After a lengthy analysis Dunning concluded:

    Col. Halt's thoroughness was commendable, but even he can be mistaken. Without exception, everything he reported on his audiotape and in his written memo has a perfectly rational and unremarkable explanation... All that remains is the tale that the men were debriefed and ordered never to mention the event, and warned that "bullets are cheap". Well, as we've seen on television, the men all talk quite freely about it, and even Col. Halt says that to this day nobody has ever debriefed him. So this appears to be just another dramatic invention for television, perhaps from one of the men who have expanded their stories over the years.

    When you examine each piece of evidence separately on its own merit, you avoid the trap of pattern matching and finding correlations where none exist. The meteors had nothing to do with the lighthouse or the rabbit diggings, but when you hear all three stories told together, it's easy to conclude (as did the airmen) that the light overhead became an alien spacecraft in the forest. Always remember: Separate pieces of poor evidence don't aggregate together into a single piece of good evidence. You can stack cowpies as high as you want, but they won't turn into a bar of gold.[31]

    Again they saw multiple objects, one came into the forest and started moving under intelligent control through the trees. Lights and craft witnessed by airmen on base and one of lights hovered over the nuclear bunkers and fired down a ray of light or a laser. With every sighting you always get this explantation it was a meteor or something else. We have a real tape and very clear to anyone listening it was not a meteor or fireball in the sky the saw.

    Supposed landing site was inside the forest. False Col Halt took a plaster casting of one of the holes made by the craft. They also picked up above unusual radiation heat signatures at the alleged landing site. Finding rabbit diggings in the forest does prove anything, rabbits obviously can be found at this location. The forester claimed this the 80s and he later admitted he did not know where the alleged craft landed, he just said they may be what they saw. Only a few of the airmen know exactly where the small triangle probe landed and left marks behind.

    Lighthouse explantation again is nonsense, went over this already.

    Larry Warren. He claims it happened on a third night and was filmed. Col Halt said he was a liar and used the event to make money.

    Who gets to decide who is credible (not just in this incident but the entire filed where there are self proclaimed experts in a subject with no hard evidence)?

    Col halt is the most credible of all the eyewitnesses for me. Returned to the scene, later in life.

    I wonder do they have a fear and dont want to believe in ufos??

    Its there personality, they very different human beings.Skeptics even doubted a man could build an airplane and travel in the air. If human historys tells us anything Skeptics tend to always end up on wrong side of history, they still don't learn from it though. Today we just up against the 21th century Skeptic, who thinks they have all the answers. Give it time they be proven wrong about the UFO phenomenon, it may take 5, 10, 20 years but it all come out eventually something this big can't be kept dark forever.

    It not fear, there just more less likely to believe things are mysterious and they don't believe in cover ups and false flags.They have more faith western style governments don't lie, cheat, and steal as well. If its Russia they have no problem believing those conspircies, afterall its the big red menance coming to get them.

    It is not possible to deny or not believe in the existence of UFOs.

    Scully: Just because I can't explain it doesn't mean I'm going to believe they're UFOs.
    Mulder: Unidentified Flying Objects.

    Couldn't find the video clip. :)
