It will also feature exclusive interviews and brand new footage of mysterious phenomena at the forest.

"There is something unexplained there and there are so many credible witnesses to the event," said Mark Lee who co-directed the documentary alongside Roderick Godman.

"There had been sightings of UFOs leading up to the 1980 sighting, and going back in through the decades."

Narrated by William B. Davis who famously played the secretive cigarette smoking man in The X-Files, the documentary will premiere at the Raindance Film Festival in London on June 24th-25th.The Rendlesham incident itself, which occurred in December 1980, saw US servicemen stationed at RAF Woodbridge in England witness a strange object over multiple nights.

Deputy base commander Lt Col Charles Halt and his men had gone out to investigate when the unidentified object was spotted descending into the nearby woods.

"Our security team observed a light that looked like a large eye, red in color, moving through the trees," Halt recalled.

"After a few minutes this object began dripping something that looked like molten metal. A short while later it broke into several smaller, white-colored objects which flew away in all directions."

In the years since, many have come to refer to the incident as "Britain's Roswell", but not everyone subscribes to the belief that the Rendlesham UFO was extraterrestrial in origin.
