The photos just released by UK national archive proves that US Air Force Colonel Conrad base commander of the twin airfields of Woodbridge and Bentwaters lied. Since the night of the alleged incident and the ensuing investigation led by Col Conrad the very next day, The Colonel has remained silent on the subject. That is until now as he has finally opened up and many did not like what he had to say. In a series of statements to Dr. David Clark, the UFO advisor to Britain’s national archives, Col. Conrad essentially discounts every aspect of the incident, claims that at best these men were hoaxed and goes so far as to say they should be ashamed of themselves. But considering these new photos taken by US air-force just before Rendelsham incident, it`s very likely that the colonel is liar, intentionally or unintentionally. Either way these photos have strengthen the Rendelsham forest incident`s genuine factor. At least for me.
Background :
One of Great Britain’s most significant Military-UFO incidents happened at Rendlesham forest in Suffolk on three consecutive nights in late December 1980. Rendlesham is a vast pine forest east of Ipswich that is near Orford Ness. There is a prominent lighthouse (of which we will discuss later),as well as some other buildings that were situated on this island. In 1980, they were rumoured to be operated by the National Security Agency (NSA) – one of the US’s most covert intelligence units. Stories of Top Secret experiments were rife, although the official function of the buildings was given as a site for research into ‘over the horizon’ radar. Gordon Levitt lived in an isolated house on the edge of the forest in Sudbourne. On December 26th, 1980, he had been out in the garden with his dog when he suddenly looked up and spotted a peculiar object flying towards them. The UFO looked like an upturned mushroom with a greenish-white glow.
The craft soon silently passed them and carried on towards the twin NATO air bases of RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters. The next morning, Levitt’s dog became ill – cowering in its kennel as if afraid to come out. Its condition worsened and it died a few days later. By the east gate of RAF Woodbridge that night were US Air Force security patrolmen John Burroughs and Budd Parker. They soon spotted the strange craft and at first thought that it may be a plane about to crash, however they soon realised that the craft was hovering downwards and eventually landed in the woods. They could see a pulsating mass of coloured lights, described by witnesses as looking like a Christmas tree. Burroughs quickly phoned the base. It was 2 a.m. and there should not have been any aircraft in the vicinity. Within minutes, security patrol sergeant Jim Penniston was on his way by jeep, driven by Herman Kavanasac. Once they arrived, they too saw the strange craft, lights were flickering through the trees and Penniston, who took command, tried to persuade Burroughs and Parker that a plane had crashed and was blazing out of control. But the two patrolmen knew that what was out there had landed and not crashed.
Budd Parker stayed at the gate while the others entered the forest. There was some kind of strange electrical field pervading the woods, the radio contact with the base began to break down. Penniston ordered Kavanasac to stay back near the road so they could use him to relay messages to the main base. Penniston and Burroughs continued deeper into the forest, it was at this point that the air became alive with energy – crackling as if within a thunderstorm, even the men’s hair stood on end, and their skin began to tingle. Penniston has said since the incident ‘It was definitely not in the Jane’s book of World Aircraft,’. He described it as a conical object about the size of a small car, floating on beams of light (others reported seeing thin legs) only 30 cm or so above the ground. It had a strange, misty aura and on its side were black marks that could have been writing. As the men tried to get closer to the object they described it as like trying to walk through treacle, as they could not seem to close in on the object. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and the craft soared up into the air. Penniston and Burroughs claim they came close to an object that was like nothing they had ever seen before. As 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’
