The Crixás UFO incident

The Crixás UFO incident is one of the most impressive UFO encounters from the 1960s that occurred in Crixás, Brazil, in 1967.

When Foreman Inácio de Sousa, 41, saw a UFO landed on the farm where he lived and worked.

He shot one of the crew members from the object, and on pay back, Inácio was hit by a beam of light that weakened him.

Inácio died of leukemia almost two months later.

Inácio de Souza was the father of five children and married Maria de Souza.

He was a simple and illiterate man, but the farm owner where he had worked and lived since 1961 regarded him highly.

Also, he was well respected in the community and well knew marksman.

Inácio and his wife were returning home to the farm in Santa Maria, between Pilar de Goiás and Crixás, in the state of Goiás, around 4 pm on August 13, 1967.

When the couple arrived home, they noticed a strange object on the property’s landing strip.

The Brazilian Air Force commonly used the landing strip with the consent of the Farm’s owner.

Inácio had a good knowloage of aircraft because of that. But he had never seen or heard of a UFO or flying saucers.

This object had the shape of an upside-down basin and was estimated to be 35 meters in diameter.

Three men were wearing a one-piece suit the color of their skin near this device. Inácio de Sousa describes the scene:

“Maria and I went back to Crixás and the beings were there. I assumed they were visitors, but the type of plane they were flying in made me nervous.

They had the same appearance as us, except that they were bald. (I’m not sure if they had hair). They were playing, and they were playing in silence, like children.

When they saw us, they pointed at us and began running towards us.

About that time I yelled to my wife to go inside. I shot the one closest to me because I had a my Winchester rifle.

As I exited the door, a green light flashed in my chest on the left side, like a flashlight. I landed on the floor.

My wife ran towards me, taking the gun, but the men were already back on the plane, which took off in a vertical flight, at high speed, and making a noise similar to bees”.

Where is Crixas located?

Location of Crixásin the map. Located 380 kilometers from the then-newly established capital of Brazil, Brasilia, and 320 kilometers from the state capital of Goiânia.

In the Brazilian Central Plateau, in the state of Goiás, in the nation’s Midwest, is the municipality of Crixás.

Crixás is located 380 kilometers from the then-newly established capital of Brazil, Brasilia, and 320 kilometers from the state capital of Goiânia.

The address is 14° 32′ 56″ S and 49° 58′ 08″ W.

Anápolis, the closest large city, was 275 kilometers away.

The discovery of gold prospecting in Brazil in the 18th century led to the establishment of Crixás.

Agriculture and the extraction of minerals, particularly gold, form the foundation of its economy. It also has Crixás, one of South America’s top municipalities for gold production, according to statistics from mining institutes.

The region was inhabited by the “Kirirás” or Curuchás Indians, whose translation from the native language Tupi, CRIXÁS, gave rise to the denomination of the two great rivers and the town.

The Crixás UFO incident’s Development

The Crixás UFO Incident, also known as the Inácio UFO Encounter, came to the knowledge of ufologists through the farm owner, A. S. M. (according to the researchers, he asked to remain anonymous), who was not present when the case occurred.

He arrived at the scene three days after the event, finding Inácio already ill.

Later he contacted ufologists from the Gaucho Group for the Investigation of Non-Identified Aerial Objects (GGIOANI), chaired by ufologist Felipe Machado Carrión.

A. S. M., besides being the farm’s owner, was an entrepreneur.

He reports:

“I arrived at the farm three days after the event and I didn’t know anything.

Getting off my plane, Inácio’s wife was waiting for me and said he was sick. As he was a strong man, who never fell ill.

I went to his house and, seeing him lying down, I said to him emphatically: ‘What’s the matter with you, boy?’
Then he replied:

‘Boss, I killed a man!’

I was surprised and I asked him: ‘But how could you do that?’ , and who had been frightened by these men thinking they were going to kidnap the family”.

Inacio attackers description

Inacio described te attacker as wearing tight yellowish or skin color tight suits. At first he thought they were naked until they got closer.

Mr. A. S. M. was already aware of ufological facts but chose not to discuss them with Inácio, who believed that the men he had seen were from the city of Sao Paulo.

Note: Sao Paulo is known for being a highly developed technical center in Brazil, seen by the rest of the population was rude, “weird,” with pale skin and excentrical.

The Farmer then decided to examine the UFO’s landing site to see if there were any blood stains from the man injured by Inacio.

He found no trace of blood or stains.

This puzzled the owner because Inácio never missed a shot from 60 meters away.

In addition, Inacio had a “wound on his conscience for having killed a man.”

Inácio de Sousa’s Doctor visit

Still, “on the first and second days, he suffered from nausea, tingling, and numbness throughout his body, and his hands were shaking,” according to ASM.

“I decided to transport him to Goiânia for a thorough examination and advised him to remain silent about the situation.

In Goiânia, the doctor (who had no idea what it was) noticed a 15-cm-diameter circular burn on the left side of the trunk, almost up to the shoulder.

He chose Butesin Picrato Ointment to treat burns.

He diagnosed the other symptoms as being caused by a weed, which he assumed Inacio ate.

I decided to inform the doctor of what had occurred.

‘Did anyone else see these pale men?’ he inquired, surprised.

‘My wife,’ Inacio replied.

‘No, I said, you.’

He then decided to ask Inácio if he had ever seen this type of aircraft or if anyone had ever mentioned it to him.

‘No, sir, I have never seen or heard of it,’ Inacio replied.

The doctor then requests payment for Inacio’s clinical hospitalization as well as a complete examination of his feces, urine, and blood.

Inácio was sent home four days after being placed under observation.

The doctor informed that Inácio’s case was fatal and that tests revealed that he had leukemia, a type of blood cancer and that he only had 60 days to live.

He also stated that he would forget everything that had occurred as if nothing had occurred, because he had a name to protect and that all of this would only cause panic in the community.

As for me, I haven’t heard anything and have no idea. I have a reputation, and this is a case of leukemia for me.”

Inacio’s health steadily deteriorated in the days that followed.

He had yellowish-white spots on his skin the size of a fingernail all over his body, and he was in excruciating pain.

When he died on October 11, 1967, he was skinny.

Despite his agony, Inacio advised his wife to burn the mattress, bed, and belongings after his death.

Nobody can confirm or deny that Inacio had leukemia before his UFO Encounter, nor if the encounter speeded up the fatal desease.

Another UFO incident in Crixás

On the night of October 25, 1993, something strange happened in the small rural town of Crixás, Brazil.

That night, dozens of locals reported seeing a bright UFO hovering above their homes for several hours.

This event, now known as the Crixás UFO Sighting, has become a part of Brazilian folklore and is still talked about today.

The night began like any other in Crixás. People were doing their business, children were playing outside, and all seemed normal.

But around 8:30 pm, something strange happened.

People started noticing a bright light in the sky, which was getting brighter and brighter.

As it got closer, they could see that it was a round, silver object, and it was hovering in the air as if it was watching them.

As the object hovered, the locals were curious and some were scared.

Some people ran inside and locked their doors, while others stayed outside and watched in awe.

The object stayed in the sky for more than two hours and seemed to move in a circular pattern as if surveying the area.

At around 11 pm, the object suddenly disappeared. It had been in the sky for more than two hours, yet no one could explain what it was or where it had come from.

The aftereffects

The following day, news of the incident spread quickly.

Some people claimed it was a UFO, while others said it was a military experiment or a weather balloon.

Nevertheless, the story of the Crixás UFO Sighting quickly became part of Brazilian ufology.

Since then, the incident has been investigated by UFO researchers, and there have been numerous theories about what happened that night.

Some believe it was an extraterrestrial craft, while others think it was a military experiment.

No one knows what happened that night, and the mystery of the Crixás UFO Sighting remains unsolved.

Every year on October 25, people get togheter at Crixás to commemorate the incident and observe the night sky.

Other UFO Encounters where people got struck by a UFO-fired light

The UFO literature contains accounts of UFO lights beans and people having deadly encounters with them.

But two cases also in Brazil stand out.

Daily attacks of UFOs in Colares – Operation Saucer

According to official reports, locals in the Colares area reported several deaths and injuries.

The local doctor and mayor wrote letters to Brazilian authorities outlining the phenomenon and its effects on the neighborhood’s residents, including claims that some had perished from being struck by light beams.

The Brazilian military took these reports seriously, so Operacao Prato was started in 1977 to research the phenomenon and gather data.

In the 1970s, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) conducted Operacao Prato, also called Operation Saucer, in the East Amazon region.

A group of military personnel was sent to the city of Colares, which was the center of the reported UFO sightings, in Para when the operation was formally launched in 1977.

Under Captain Uyrangê Hollanda, the team looked into the phenomenon and gathered proof.

The team reportedly saw several strange occurrences during the operation, including bright lights in the sky, odd objects moving quickly, and even encounters with humanoid beings.

The group also claimed that they were the target of an energy weapon, which resulted in burns and other wounds.

The operation lasted for several months, during which time the team gathered much information and proof.

Eventually, the operation ended, and the results were kept under wraps for many years.

The specifics of Operation Saucer were made public in the 1990s.

According to the declassified documents, the operation had been much more significant than initially believed, and the military had been highly concerned about the phenomena reported in the Amazon region.

The military “re-classified” for another 25 years the videos made in Colares, only releasing some stills to the public.

The military had thought about the possibility that the phenomena had extraterrestrial origins, according to the documents.

One of the most significant military inquiries into UFOs and extraterrestrial phenomena in history.

Native shoots UFO, receives an electric shock and faints

Almos, 40 years later, Iaka Kampa, a Brazilian native living in Nova Floresta village on the Envira river in the municipality of Feijó, was struck by a UFO discharge between January and February 2016.

the Kampa Indigenous Land, located in the State of Acre, is close to the border between Brazil and Peru in the Amazon jungle.

Other natives notice the UFO and fire 18 shotgun blasts in its direction.

UAP in indigenous tribes

The Indian Airton Kampa remarked, “It was very swift, and it had a powerful and greenish light.”

Still, according to Kampa, the Indians believed it to be a drone but were terrified when it burned the nozzles of every lantern and released powerful electrical discharges.

Between the end of January and the beginning of February 2016, a Brazilian native known as Iaka Kampa, a resident of the Nova Floresta village, on the Envira river, in the municipality of Feijó, was hit by a UFO discharge.

The Kampa Indigenous Land is isolated in Acre near the border between Brazil and Peru, which is difficult to access.

The UFO is spotted by other natives, who fired 18 shotgun blasts in its direction.

“It was speedy. It had a powerful greenish light”, said the Indian Airton Kampa.

Still, according to Kampa, the Indians thought it was a drone, but because it burned the nozzles of all the lanterns and emitted intense electrical discharges, they were terrified.

“It always appeared at 1:30 in the morning and stayed until two in the morning”, said the Indian, who brought his friend to the city hospital.

We will soon bring more information about these attacks that Brazilian researcher Rony Vernet recently investigated in official documents.

The Anunnaki: Ancient Aliens in the Bible?

The Anunnaki: Ancient Aliens in the Bible?

The Anunnaki are a group of deities who are mentioned in Sumerian mythology. They are said to have come from a planet called Nibiru and are credited with creating humanity. Some people believe that the Anunnaki are actually aliens and that they visited Earth thousands of years ago.

The evidence for the existence of the Anunnaki is mainly circumstantial. There are no physical remains of Nibiru, and there is no scientific consensus on whether or not aliens have visited Earth.

However, some ancient texts mention the Anunnaki, and there are several similarities between Sumerian mythology and modern UFO stories.

One of the most famous pieces of evidence for the existence of the Anunnaki is the Enuma Elish, a Babylonian creation myth.

The Enuma Elish tells how the Anunnaki came to Earth and created humanity. According to the Enuma Elish, the Anunnaki were originally gods who lived in the heavens.

However, they became tired of living in the heavens, so they decided to create a new world where they could live.

They created Earth, and they created humanity to work for them.

The Enuma Elish is just one of many ancient texts that mention the Anunnaki. Many ancient artifacts depict the Anunnaki. One of the most famous artifacts is the Gudea Cylinder, a Sumerian clay cylinder representing the God Ningishzidda, often identified with the Anunnaki.

The similarities between Sumerian mythology and modern UFO stories are also striking. In both cases, there are stories of aliens who come to Earth from a distant planet.

In both cases, the aliens are said to be taller and more intelligent than humans. And in both cases, the aliens are said to impact human culture profoundly.

Of course, the similarities between Sumerian mythology and modern UFO stories could be coincidental. However, it is also possible that the similarities prove that Anunnaki is real. If the Anunnaki did visit Earth thousands of years ago, they left behind stories and artifacts passed down through the generations.

The possibility that the Anunnaki are accurate is an exciting one. It would mean that we are not alone in the universe and that our history is much more complex than we ever imagined.

If you are interested in learning more about the Anunnaki, do some research on your own. There are some books and websites that can provide you with more information.

The Anunnaki and the Bible

Some people believe that the Anunnaki are mentioned in the Bible. In the book of Genesis, it is said that God created man in his image.

However, some people believe that this passage is referring to the Anunnaki.

They believe that the Anunnaki created humanity in their image and that they are the ones who taught us the knowledge that we have today.

Some passages in the Bible could be interpreted as references to the Anunnaki. For example, in the book of Ezekiel, it is said that there were “cherubim” who were “like the sons of men.”

Ezekiel 1:5: “As I looked, I saw a stormy wind coming out of the north—a great cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the cloud was glowing like glowing metal, and in the center of the fire was something like four living creatures. In appearance their form was human, 6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight, and their feet were like the feet of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and the wings of one touched the wings of the creature on either side. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.”

Ezekiel 10:14: “Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.”
In both of these passages, the cherubim are described as having human-like features, such as faces and hands. However, they also have animal-like features, such as wings and the faces of lions and eagles. This combination of human and animal features is characteristic of cherubim in the Bible.

The meaning of the cherubim in Ezekiel is not entirely clear. Some scholars believe that they represent the presence of God, while others believe that they represent the four gospels.

Some people believe that these cherubim are references to the Anunnaki.

Of course, there is no scientific consensus on whether or not the Anunnaki are mentioned in the Bible. However, it is an exciting possibility to consider. If the Anunnaki are accurate, then it would mean that they have been involved in human history for a long time.

The Anunnaki and Modern UFO Stories

As mentioned earlier, there are several similarities between Sumerian mythology and modern UFO stories. In both cases, there are stories of aliens who come to Earth from a distant planet.

In both cases, the aliens are said to be taller and more intelligent than humans. And in both cases, the aliens are said to impact human culture profoundly.

Some people believe that these similarities are evidence that the Anunnaki are real. They believe that the Anunnaki are still visiting Earth today and that they are the ones who are responsible for the modern UFO phenomenon.

Of course, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. However, it is an exciting possibility to consider.

If the Anunnaki are accurate, then it would mean that they are still involved in human history.

Conclusion

The Anunnaki are a fascinating and mysterious group of beings. There is no scientific consensus on whether or not they are real, but much evidence suggests that they may be.

If the Anunnaki are accurate, then they have a profound impact on human history.

They may have created humanity, they may have influenced our culture, and they may still be visiting Earth today.

I encourage you to do some research on the Anunnaki for yourself. Many books and websites can provide you with more information.

If you want to learn more about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, then the Anunnaki are an excellent place to start.

Did A UFO Landing Case In France in 1944?

UFO landing case in France in 1944, during the height of World War II, a strange event occurred in a small village in southeastern France.

According to witnesses, a disc-shaped object landed in a field, and several tiny humanoid beings emerged.

The Story of the UFO Landing Case in France

This report was published by the ufological bulletins Lumineres Dans La Nuit, no. 118, and Flying Saucer Review – Case Histories, no. 12.

Madeleine Arnoux is the named witness in this case.

Arnoux recounted an encounter with a mysterious object and beings in the summer of 1944 when she was only 13 years old.

She used to ride her bicycle weekly to a farm several kilometers from her home to get groceries.

While on the road RD 42, lined with woods, towards Le Verger, she got off her bicycle to pick some wild fruits.

As she walked along a dirt path looking for blackberries, she saw a machine and beings less than 1 meter tall dressed in brown overalls.

The device was a dull metallic gray color and must have been the size of one of the small cars at that time.

Madelaine remembers feeling frozen and unable to move during the mutual observation, and it lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Afterward, she could move and quickly got on her bicycle and rode away.

Madeleine Arnoux was terrified and ran at full speed to the farm and didn’t talk about the encounter for fear of being called a liar. She believes she saw a UFO and clearly remembers the incident.

The location where the encounter happened was a lonely place, and the nearest farms were a kilometer away.

There couldn’t have been any existing vehicles at that time as they were rare on the roads anyway.

Madeleine Arnoux ruled out the possibility of resistance fighters or German soldiers being responsible for the encounter, as they would have stopped her from questioning.

Madelaine believes she must have witnessed one of the first UFO visits. She has enclosed two sketches of the place and plans to return to be more precise.

Other UFO Encounters During the Wars

From Alexandre the Greatest’s earliest years to the Gulf War, unidentified flying objects have been seen during nearly all of history’s pivotal military conflicts.

During the First World War, people noticed them and reported them.

It also inspired Nigel Watson’s book “UFOs of the First World War: Phantom Airships, Balloons, Aircraft, and Other Mysterious Aerial Phenomena.”

Did the Red Baron shoot down a UFO during WWI?

On March 13, 1917, they noticed an object resembling two overlapping silver plates and orange lights while patrolling over western France from an airfield in Belgium.

The object was about 40 meters (120 feet) in diameter.

The Red Baron decided to start shooting at the slowly hovering UFO despite being unable to identify the aircraft; at the time, the United States had just entered the war, so it may have been an unidentified American weapon.

“We were frightened. It was unlike anything we’d ever seen,” according to Peter Waitzrick.

The moment the Baron started firing, the object dropped like a rock and tore off tree limbs as it crashed into the forest.

He saw two young passengers escape the collision site and run into the woods after it.

The Foo Fighter Encounters During the WWII

During World War II, pilots on both sides of the conflict reported encountering strange aerial phenomena known as “Foo Fighters.”

These sightings occurred primarily in the European theater of operations.

The objects were described as glowing orbs that would follow the aircraft, dart around the sky, and sometimes even perform seemingly impossible maneuvers.

Pilots were initially uncertain about what they were seeing, but as more and more reports came in, military officials began to take notice.

Intelligence agencies investigated the objects, but no clear explanation was ever found for their presence.

Some speculated that they were secret weapons developed by the enemy, while others believed they might be extraterrestrial in origin.

Despite numerous sightings, no recorded incidents of the Foo Fighters attacking or harming any aircraft were recorded.

UFO Encounter continues in other military conflicts

During the Vietnam and Korean Wars, numerous reports of UFO sightings by military personnel existed. Pilots, in particular, reported seeing strange objects they could not explain, such as bright lights or metallic disks flying in formation.

In one well-known incident, a group of American soldiers in Vietnam reported seeing a massive, triangular-shaped craft hovering in the sky above them.

The object reportedly emitted a loud, low-frequency hum and then suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Similarly, during the Korean War, pilots reported encountering objects that they described as “flying saucers” or “cigar-shaped” craft.

These objects were said to be capable of incredible speeds and maneuvers far beyond any known aircraft’s capabilities at the time.

The Lakenheath-Bentwaters Incident – A UFO Encounter from 1955

USAF personnel in England witnessed multiple sightings and radar detections for several hours. The Lakenheath-Bentwaters Incident implications changed the approach to UFOs.

USAF personnel in England witnessed multiple sightings and radar detections. The Lakenheath-Bentwaters Incident changed the approach to UFOs.

On the night of May 13, 1955, a group of USAF personnel stationed at the RAF Lakenheath base in Suffolk, England, witnessed a strange aerial phenomenon that would become one of the most compelling UFO cases in history.

The incident, which involved multiple sightings and radar detections of unknown objects over several hours, is known as the Lakenheath-Bentwaters Incident.

This post will explore the details of this classic UFO encounter and its implications for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

The Lakenheath-Bentwaters Incident: The Facts

Around 9 p.m. local time, the air traffic control tower at RAF Lakenheath received a call from the RAF Bentwaters radar station about 43 miles away.

The radar operators reported tracking several unidentified blips on their scopes, which were moving erratically and seemed to be flying in formation.

The Lakenheath controllers also noticed unusual echoes on their radar screens, which they attributed to birds or weather phenomena.

Soon after, two F-89 Scorpion fighter jets from the 81st Fighter-Interceptor Squadron at Bentwaters were scrambled to intercept the objects.

The lead pilot, Lieutenant Felix Moncla, Jr., and his radar operator, Second Lieutenant Robert Wilson, made visual contact with the targets and tried to close in on them.

However, the objects appeared much faster and more agile than the jets, and they soon disappeared from the pilots’ sight and radar screens.

Another pair of Scorpions piloted by Lieutenant Charles Metz and Lieutenant William A. Daniell was sent to investigate the objects flying over the North Sea.

Metz and Daniell also saw the lights of the unknown craft, which they described as round or oval-shaped, and tried to chase them. However, the objects again evaded the pursuit and vanished.

Throughout the night, various military and civilian sources reported more sightings and radar returns in the area, including ground observers, radar stations, and pilots of commercial airliners.

Some witnesses claimed to have seen multiple objects, while others saw only one or two. Some described the objects as hovering or pulsating, while others saw them moving at high speeds and making sharp turns.

One witness, a farmer near Ipswich, reported that a strange object landed in his field and took off again after a few minutes.

The Lakenheath-Bentwaters Incident: The Explanations

Despite the intense interest and investigation that followed the Lakenheath-Bentwaters Incident, no definitive explanation has been offered for the mysterious objects seen that night.

The official Air Force report, released in 1956, suggested that unusual weather conditions, aircraft reflections, and human error caused radar and visual observations.

However, this explanation has been criticized by many ufologists and skeptics as inadequate and implausible.

Several alternative hypotheses have been proposed, ranging from secret military tests to extraterrestrial visitation.

Some have argued that the objects were experimental aircraft or missiles of Soviet origin designed to test American defenses and provoke a response.

However, there is no conclusive evidence to support this theory, and the Cold War context alone does not explain the agility and speed of the objects.

Others have suggested that the objects were natural or atmospheric phenomena, such as ball lightning, meteors, or mirages.

While such phenomena may have caused some of the sightings, it is unlikely that they could account for all the observations and radar returns, especially those that involved multiple witnesses and equipment.

Finally, some have claimed that the objects were extraterrestrial spacecraft piloted by intelligent beings.

More UFO Incidents

Several other UFO incidents were reported around the same time as the Lakenheath-Bentwaters Incident in May 1955.

On May 21, 1955, a Royal Air Force pilot named Roger Wilcox reported seeing a metallic disc-shaped object over Milton Keynes, England, while flying a Meteor jet.

The object was estimated to be about 50 feet in diameter and flew at 12,000 feet before disappearing from view.

Another sighting occurred on May 22, 1955, in Langenburg, Germany, when a group of witnesses observed a silver disc hovering in the sky for several minutes before shooting off at high speed.

The day after, May 13, 1955, The Hopkinsville Goblins

The Hopkinsville Goblins case, often called the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter, involves a

A family in rural Kentucky experienced an encounter the following day, May 14, 1955, that would go down in history as one of the most horrifying UFO encounters in American history.

The Hopkinsville Goblins case, often called the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter, involves a family tormented by unexplained monsters who descended upon their farmhouse.

When it all began, Billy Ray Taylor, one of the family members, walked outside to get water from the well. He instantly ran back inside to inform the others after spotting a strange object floating over the sky.

The family then heard weird noises outdoors that were thought to be made by wild creatures.

Elmer Sutton, one of the family members, stepped outside to check, but when he turned around, he saw a strange creature with enormous glowing eyes staring back at him.

The creature was described as three and a half feet tall, with spindly limbs and legs and an abnormally colossal head.

With his shotgun, Elmer attempted to shoot the beast, but to no avail. The thing drifted off as though the gunshot had no impact on it.

The family then surrounded themselves inside the home as they observed some additional odd creatures emerge outside.

According to reports, the creatures moved in a jerky, almost mechanical way and possessed blazing eyes.

They were reportedly rumored to be able to scale the walls of the farmhouse and look through the windows.

The family yelled for aid because they were terrified, but the authorities could not locate proof of the unusual beings.

The military looked for the unusual entities but came up empty-handed. They did, however, mention spotting eerie skies lights.

35 years later, the Rendlesham Forest incident

Rendlesham Forest view from the RAF Bentwaters' radar

The Rendlesham Forest incident was a string of sightings of mysterious lights reported in late December 1980 close to Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk, England, which later came to be associated with reports of UFO landings.

At the time, the United States Air Force (USAF) used RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters, where the events took place.

Just to the north of Rendlesham Forest is RAF Bentwaters. RAF Woodbridge extends into the forest from the west, forming its northern and eastern boundaries.

Woodbridge was chosen because it was “nearly fog-free and had no obstructions for miles.” Rendlesham Forest had to remove over a million trees to make room for the new base.

USAF personnel, including Lieutenant Colonel Charles I. Halt, the deputy base commander, reported seeing what they described as a UFO sighting.

The incident is among the most well-known reported UFO events globally and is the most well-known claimed UFO event in the United Kingdom.

It has been compared to the American UFO incident at Roswell.
