SCI FI Channel crosses the Atlantic to expose one of the most notorious UFO incidents of the twentieth century in UFO Invasion at Rendlesham. Hosted by Bryant Gumbel, this original two-hour documentary special premieres Friday, December 12 @ 9 PM (ET/PT) exclusively on SCI FI Channel. UFO Invasion at Rendlesham is part of the SCI FI Declassified franchise, a series of specials that demystify the place where science fiction meets science fact. The most recent Declassified special, The New Roswell: Kecksburg Exposed, was the highest-rated non-fiction program to air on SCI FI in 2003, and was the highest-rated documentary program in primetime on basic cable for the month of October 2003.* SCI FI’s exposé of the controversial Rendlesham UFO incident sheds new light on a compelling mystery. In 1980, a series of bizarre events occurred near two American military bases in Rendlesham Forest, England. Three American servicemen investigated strange lights that maneuvered and appeared to be intelligently controlled. The incident was then covered up and eyewitnesses were forced to change their stories. In 2002, the British government acknowledged that it had classified documents regarding the Rendlesham incident, making this story an exciting subject for a Declassified investigation. SCI FI brings together key eyewitnesses and high-ranking military officials who go on the record for the FIRST TIME to provide new and corroborating evidence.The special is directed and executive produced by Jim Milio of MPH Entertainment. Melissa Peltier and Mark Hufnail of MPH also serve as executive producers. Jim Milio and Kelly McPherson serve as co-writers.Through landmark documentary programming and advocacy-based public affairs efforts, SCI FI works to expand the contemporary definitions of science fiction to include ideas, concepts, myths and legends that simply cannot be explained. Last year, SCI FI launched a Washington, D.C. based public advocacy initiative to draw greater attention to the UFO phenomenon and is currently lobbying Congress to gain support for more scientific inquiry into these issues.
