Dave Cosnette discussed the events that occurred in the Rendlesham forest in his article “The Bentwaters Rendlesham Forest Incident.” Late December in 1980, there was a UFO sighting in Rendlesham Forest (in Suffolk, England) on two consecutive nights. Gordon Levitt, while in his garden with his dog at his isolated home, spotted the UFO that looked like “an upturned mushroom with a greenish-white glow.” Mysteriously, the man’s dog suddenly became ill the next day and died a few days later. There were several reports that night of flickering lights in the woods and loud noises. Later, as a few men tried to get closer to find out what was going on, they saw a bright light and a large object rose quickly into the air. Airman John Burroughs said of his experience, “I do not know whether this was some kind of machine under intelligent control or a fantastic natural phenomenon - some rare kind of energy. What I do know is that it was nothing mundane. There are no words that can adequately describe the wonder of what we saw.” The next day there were triangular indentions in the ground from where the landing legs of the spaceship had been. There were also many trees destroyed, and Infra-red radiation was detected by a plane that flew directly over the forest. The next night a group of men including Burroughs wandered deep into the forest hoping to spot the UFO one more time. Suddenly, at approximately 1:48 a.m. the UFO returned. Apparently a glowing light came down from a ship and it was floating on a yellowish color mist. After these two sightings, US Deputy Base Commander Charles Halt and several members of the Royal Air Force gathered together in a meeting, but strangely did not want this discussion to go public. Only a few days later, top-secret flights were being launched. Some members of US intelligence agencies were involved. Many believe that this meeting was in discussion of attempting to hide from the public what had truly happened in the forest that night.
I thought this was a really interesting event that occurred in Europe. This website gives views of several perspectives. This may not be as credible because it is something that happened in Europe, but it is still very convincing to me. It is surprising to me that radiation was actually detected, where no type of military experiment had occurred. I think that this page in particular is well organized, and the information can be trusted.
