The U.K. is coming clean about its unidentified flying past. This week, British authorities made public their version of “X-Files.” Any account of UFO sightings and/or abductions on U.K. territory since records of such things were taken seriously enough to write down are here. Some are crazy, others are downright creepy. This week, the Riot is going to examine a few files of interest. Among the most sensational is the Rendlesham Forest case.

According to the recently declassified documents:

“A report from Lt.Col Charles Halt on 13th January 1981 tells how on the night of December 27th security patrolmen spotted odd lights above the forest. They saw the lights plunge down and went to investigate. In the forest they found a triangular shaped object 9ft long by 6ft high hovering above the ground. The object had a pulsing red light on top with blue lights underneath.

According to the patrolmen a white light coming from the UFO illuminated the whole forest. The object suddenly took off and flew away. Other airmen on the base also saw the lights. Investigators studying the site where the craft landed found three depressions in a triangular shape. A radar reading spiked at each depression.”

The Rendlesham Forest incident is one of the best documented, most significant, and most credible military encounters with a UFO. Other strange lights in the sky were witnessed over the course of four days. Rendlesham Forest is a large pine forest near two NATO air bases, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge. At the time, both bases were being leased to the U.S. Air Force.

Did the British cops run into a stealth bomber prototype, or did they see a real-deal space cruiser?

Draw your own conclusions, but I’ll leave you with this quote from one of the men who witnessed the craft:

Airman (later Sergeant) John Burroughs insisted ‘I do not now 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.”
