This article was originally written for a paranormal magazine called The Paranormal Journal, it became known as The Underground Files covering ghosts, ufos, cryptozoology, and government conspiracies amongst others. I no longer write for the magazine and it is no longer in existence. Roswell to Rendlesham A parliamentary watchdog deemed government tried to cover up one of the UK's most famous sightings of a UFO, heralded as the British Roswell. The Rendlesham Files, finally published for the public on Sunday 9th December, has eye witness accounts by US Air Force officers at a military base close to Rendlesham Forest and near Ipswich in Suffolk, claiming they saw a brightly lit object land in the forest in December 1980. It widely regarded as similar to the crashing of a UFO with aliens in the craft at Roswell, New Mexico. Several people had complained that to the Parliamentary Ombudsman, Ann Abraham, the Ministry of Defence had withheld three documents on the reported sightings of aerial phenomena in 1980 of the Rendlesham Forest Incident. A ministry spokeswoman held the view that the information was always there for the public to ask to see. Nothing untoward or underhand had been intended. It was late December of that year US officers investigated what they thought to be a crashed plane, seeing a triangular glowing object that sent cattle into a frenzy. “The object was described as being metallic in appearance and triangular in shape, approximately two to three metres across the base and approximately two metres high,” reads a report in the file by Deputy Base Commander Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt. “It illuminated the entire forest with a white light," he added. "The object itself had a pulsing red light on top and a bank of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering, or on legs.” Skeptics stated nothing more was seen other than a light from a nearby lighthouse. But further reports went on to say the next day three depressions seven feet (two metres) in diameter were found in the grass and readings of beta and gamma were ten times higher than normal, while disturbances were also noted on radar too. Later in the night a further sighting, described as a red sun-like light. "At one point it appeared to throw off glowing particles and then broke into five separate white objects," said the file. A Ministry of Defence (MoD) memo in the file notes, "No evidence was found of any threat to the defence of the United Kingdom. In the absence of any hard evidence, the MoD remains open minded." Only around twenty members of the public had seen the file, until last week. The government said it would be publishing other files of UFO content on the website http://www.mod.uk. The Rendlesham File contains a further memo suggesting British requests for audio tapes made by the American officers at the time but were denied or flatly rejected as existing by the US. UFO enthusiasts claim photos and audio tapes were taken away by senior US officers. Leaving one more thing to say, “Watch this space!” or head for the Ministry of Defence website.
