Rendlesham Forest 1980

What do you think about this?

In the days after Christmas in 1980, US Air Force personnel stationed at RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England, watched lights come down into the trees of Rendlesham Forest. Around three in the morning, a security patrol went in to investigate, expecting a downed aircraft. Sergeant Jim Penniston later said he found something else entirely. A craft of unknown origin sitting silently in a clearing, metallic, covered in strange symbols. He said he got close enough to touch it, that the surface was warm, and that he copied the markings into his notebook.

This was not a couple of nervous airmen. The deputy base commander, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt, went into the forest himself on a later night with a team and a tape recorder running. His voice survives on that tape, narrating a glowing object moving through the trees and dripping molten metal. Halt put it all in an official memo to the British Ministry of Defence. Investigators measured radiation at the alleged landing site higher than the surrounding ground.

Decades later, Penniston made an even stranger claim, that touching the craft pushed a string of ones and zeros into his mind that he wrote out as pages of binary code.

Could it be that two of the most secure military bases in NATO recorded a real visitor, and that memo is the only piece they let us see?

Mass confusion, a secret aircraft, or something that came down out of the sky? What do you think Halt and his men found in those trees?
