The US Commander in charge at the time of the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident has spoken out.
US Air Force Colonel Conrad was the commander of the airfields Woodbridge and Bentwaters in 1980, the time at which the incident occured. Far from confirming the events however, Conrad has dismissed the claims and recordings made by Lt Colonel Charles Halt who witnessed the object first hand as he and his men ventured in to the woods. "We saw nothing that resembled Lt Col Halt's descriptions either in the sky or on the ground," says Conrad. "We had people in position to validate Halt's narrative, but none of them could."
The senior US military official who led the investigation into the supposed landing of a UFO in a Suffolk forest has spoken of the incident for the first time in three decades.

I put the Fluro bar in with the connectors at the wrong ends. There was a FIZT and everything went dark. I STILL don't know how you managed to short everything out, but that's quite a feat!! As an electrician, I have to say I am impressed!

Hi Psyche, I don't think that you understand that Ron's accounts have been verified by others as well. Ever wondered why Carl Sagan requested access to Air Force space surveillance data on UFOs at the Congressional UFO Symposium? That is a hint as to what the Air Force has been observing above Mother Earth. In other words, Carl Sagan was aware that the Air Force was throwing away data (classifying and filing away the data is a more accurate deion) on maneuvering space objects that were not satellites, meteors, nor any spacecraft. Question is, who told Carl Sagan that the Air Force has been tra... [More]

I have serious problems with the Bentwaters case. First of all I am a warrant officer and have been in the forces full time for 25 years. I have spoke openly about UFOs on and off with many high ranking officers from many trades and have as of yet to ever recieve anything but decent conversation. I am a hopeful skeptic, in other words I want a case to be the real deal I just have yet to find much convincing. Excuse the spelling on some of the names but I will try my best. Jim Peniston has changed the location of his adventure three times, why? He now claims the craft gave him a secret binary c... [More]

Jingerri Mate! Carl was great, and it is a good question, however I do belong the the amatuer community, and they managed to track the X-37 and it is only 29 feet long, and was on a secret mission. Our kids have better tech today for video games than the Apollo men had to fly to the moon with. In this day and age we do have the ability to see what Sagan was talking about, but we have nothing more than the rest of UFOlogy from astronomy, a few vague deions that could really be just about anything, and there is no reason to ascribe an ET label to them, that have been hyped up beyond belief. The ... [More]

I have run into two people who were there during the incidents, one of whom later became my assistant on an Air Force contract at Travis AFB, CA., and confirmed the incident as reported. A third person in my shop was also stationed there, but received his assignment orders after the fact. WHICH incident "as reported" though? As far as I can tell (and remember, on this case I'm prepared to put it into the "weird" file rather then the round one) there are three basic and potentially conflicting reports on what happened. One - lights, just lights on one or two nights. Two - lights AND an object i... [More]

One - lights, just lights on one or two nights. Two - lights AND an object in the forest, and object that caused interference in radios and left marks on the ground and trees but left before anyone could get close enough. Three - Lights and an object in the forest that caused interference in radios, left marks in the ground etc AND sent a message telepathically to... [More]
