Airman wins payout over Rendlesham UFO

[UM-Bot]

An American airman has received compensation after suffering radiation poisoning during the encounter.

It's one of Britain's best known UFO cases and one that still remains unexplained more than twenty years later.

Looks like another case of a GammaHead Radd'n out on his off-time and seeking payment for his X-Dives.

But seriously, this is terrifying to be exposed to such high levels of deadly radiation. And to finally get his treatment covered after years, years(!), of being denied it. Wow.

[seeder]

Theres plenty of servicemen with radiation damage...

However, the impact of depleted uranium weapons is felt far beyond the veterans of the Persian Gulf War. Workers in the domestic uranium industry who mine and process uranium and manufacture depleted uranium weapons, in addition to civilians who live near processing plants, manufacturing plants, testing ranges and contaminated battlefields, are also affected. This paper focuses on the use of depleted uranium weapons in the Persian Gulf War, and the ways in which U.S. troops were exposed to them.

Horror Of US Depleted Uranium In Iraq Threatens World

American Use Of DU is "A crime against humanity which may, in the eyes of historians, rank with the worst atrocities of all time." US Iraq Military Vets "are on DU death row, waiting to die."

[Aardvark-DK]

Tin-hat on again..

and the airmen who saw the flashing UFO between the pine trees were looking straight at the Orford Ness Lighthouse

If he won the payout over Rendlesham, then I presume that his career was examined to ensure that the dangerous exposure couldn't have happened anywhen else?

[DefenceMinisterMishkin]

I had cancer and radiation saved my life. Aliens were not involved!

[Aardvark-DK]

No anal probes or anything ?

And radiation do save millions of lifes

[skookum]

A difficult one. British documents did state radiation readings were far higher than background radiation.

However it is not concrete proof the radiation was indeed high. Sceptics can easily dismiss this as the readings taken were wrong or exaggerated, interesting but far from the smoking gun.

[Varelse]

The article doesn't sound like the pilot is trying to make any kind of ET statement. He just wants his service related disability compensation he's probably due.

But I highly doubt the military designated this event as the source of his radiation exposure. They probably just finally admitted that even though they couldn't pin it down, he probably did get it at some point in time while enlisted.

But ask anyone who's filed for injury/medical coverage on any injury that could have happened outside the military. It takes multiple filings and sometimes a lawyer. And a decade or three. If its not documented right when it happens, and those documents aren't later misplaced, you might as well forget it.

There is NO admission at all, this is a beat up by Burroughs and Frascogna!!

You will notice that they do NOT quote from the VA, only from non-specific UK documents from the period that surmise (with no scientific data whatsoever) that there might have been radiation. No levels, no data on how it was tested..

The VA are simply paying out on his health issues, which could have come from numerous source (it's not even certain that radiation was involved at all, let alone alienz radiation), and these lowlifes are playing it up as if the VA admitted to the incident.

If that's the case, then why don't they quote the DVA???? It's pretty dam obvious that if they do, you will see the DVA have said no such thing - I'll happily apologise and withdraw that remark IF the quotes are forthcoming..

Typical ufology money makers at work - shame on these people.

A flying radioactive lighthouse witnessed by drunk, on duty soldiers.

I would disagree, I think he is intentionally looking to get his claim recognised in another way, despite a small band of followers, his story is largely regarded as preposterous and only considered valid by the most desperate of believers.

The bicuspid problem seems rather exaggerated too, it can fail for a whole host of reasons, it does not just go in old men, which Burroughs is anyway!!

But I highly doubt the military designated this event as the source of his radiation exposure. They probably just finally admitted that even though they couldn't pin it down, he probably did get it at some point in time while enlisted.

That sounds like a reasonable option, but we go back to the above now.

But ask anyone who's filed for injury/medical coverage on any injury that could have happened outside the military. It takes multiple filings and sometimes a lawyer. And a decade or three. If its not documented right when it happens, and those documents aren't later misplaced, you might as well forget it.

Any procedure, even valid insurance claims are like pulling teeth. What I do not get is how they think the exposure is connected to the incident, it was investigated by independent observers, there was no radiation at the time of the alleged incident. That much is clearly established, I would love to see what the alleged documents his lawyers have say.

As for the radiation detected at the “landing site” three independent scientific experts, including the makers of the Geiger counter, have since stated there was nothing unusual in the levels recorded by Halt’s team in the forest. They were simply background levels that would be expected in a pine forest. Doubts have also been raised about the suitability of the Geiger counter used by the USAF team in the forest, which was not designed to measure environmental radiation. The manufacturers of the equipment have confirmed the readings recorded were “of little or no significance.” This is consistent with the testimony of the MoD’s UFO desk officer, Simon Weeden, who told me that he understood that officials made their own inquiries about the reliability of the levels of radiation reported and reached the same conclusion. Col Conrad adds a further detail not mentioned in Halt’s report to the Ministry of Defence “…Sgt. Nevels, the Geiger counter operator, initially reported slightly elevated readings after his first visit to the location. However on a subsequent verbal report, he gave the radiation levels as equal to the normal background “noise”.”

I am honestly not sure if that is the case or not but it would be good to see these alleged reports that supposedly sealed the deal, I suspect "that night" is entirely unrelated to the claim.

Do they agree on future humans or aliens yet? - seeming as they got together and all.

That was my first impression as well. We don't know the specifics of why the VA is paying Burroughs which with the VA, there are always specifics. They don't pay for treatment based on some nebulous claim. We likely won't hear anything from the VA though due to HIPAA confidentiality regulations, unfortunately. That allows Burroughs and co. to play up their story as much as they want.

Me too. I'm not too familiar with all the history here. i thought radiation poisoning was fairly easy to diagnose and document. Without that evidence then no, can't see how he got anything out of the disab comp claim.

[DONTEATUS]

Its all about da Bass ! Not da Base,and for sure not the Airmen, ITs all about pay off`s

Sadly he makes a mockery of UFOlogy, the Cash Landrum seems a very genuine case whereby people were indeed hurt badly by a UFO and did get radiation poisoning, but in retrospect, stories blathered around by the likes of this particular character may diminish such genuine instances. With that in mind, i find this guy an asshassle. (stole your term Merc, put it to better use mate!! )

Hi Chrlzs,

The VA are only liable if it could be proved that the 'injury' was received during the line of duty.

I will dig around and see what details I can find. I just mention the above as this is the legal position I believe which does raise some pertinent questions.

[Astra.]

December 2010 marked the 30th anniversary of Britain’s best known and most compelling UFO case, known in the UK as the Rendlesham Forest incident, though often referred to by Americans as the Bentwaters incident.

I found Larry Warren's testimony rather compelling and truthful in regards to this case.

He was a Securuity Officer - RAF Bentwaters.

Watch out for those flying lighthouses bee.

I certainly will - especially the radioactive ones - even though I live inland

you can't be too careful

[Hawken]

If I was to give a LOGICAL explanation what the airman witnessed, It would be an Unmanned Drone that some agency was experimenting with. Not the lighthouse theory because it has to many holes in it. Penniston claimed to touch it and a few nights later, Halt and his team witnessed it in the sky shooting a beam of light at them. Hardly a lighthouse shining through the woods. Somebodies grasping for straws on an explanation for this case.
