The Ubatuba Incident - A UFO Exploded in 1957 with Fragments

What if I tell you that in 1957 a UFO exploded in mid-air, and we may have some pieces to prove it? The event knows as the Ubatuba Incident.

In 1957, on a remote beach from a small town, witnesses observed an object with extreme speed descending from the skies towards Toninhas beach.

Before crashing into the sea, the object exploded, throwing small parts along the beach and into it.

A large number of pieces were collected by locals, including many knowledgeable fishermen in the region.

The material appeared to be metallic, but light and after analysis found it could not be of this planet.

Where is Ubatuba?

Located on the northern coast of the state of Sao Paulo, Ubatuba is a Brazilian municipality.

According to historians, the two possibilities for the name Ubatuba, which comes from the local indigenous language, where “ubá” means canoe or “u’ubá,” would be the name of the plant used to make arrows. Joins the rest of the word tyba, which translates to the site.

So Ubatuba’s definition would be “Canoe Set” or “Arrow Supply Site.”

Ubatuba is surrounded by the Serra do Mar and its lush Atlantic Forest.

Around eighty percent of the territory of the city of Ubatuba consists of conservation areas.

The area attracts tourists from the state capital Sao Paulo and from Rio de Janeiro.

The Ubatuba Incident

In September 1957, in Ubatuba, Sao Paulo, Brazil, many people witnessed an event totally unknown to them.

They watched an object speeding down towards Toninhas beach. About to crash into the sea, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon quickly gained height with a fantastic boost and exploded. The explosion has been described as having a white coloration.

The places that fished and enjoyed the beach were surprised by another spectacle of flames and fragments that looked more like fireworks.

These pieces mostly fell over the sea, but many fell near the beach.

Some of the witnesses took courage and gathered some of this material.

According to them, the material of metallic appearance, but very light, looked like paper at the time.

The Ubatuba UFO Incident is featured in the press.

One of the witnesses sent part of the material with a letter to a national newspaper journalist.

Journalist Ibrahim Sued published the letter in full in his column in the newspaper “O Globo” on September 14, 1957.

“A flying saucer fragment!

We received: ‘Dear Mr. Ibrahim Sued. A frequent reader of your column and an admirer, I want to provide you with a real journalistic scoop about flying saucers, if you believe them.

I also didn’t believe what I heard and commented on, until a few days ago, near Ubatuba, fishing with several friends, I saw a flying saucer!

It approached the waters when at a fantastic speed, it rose rapidly. Astonished, we watched this spectacle when we saw the disk explode into flames, falling into thousands of pieces that look like fireworks – even though it was twelve o’clock, or noon – with a brighter glow.

These pieces almost all fell into the sea, but many small pieces fell near the beach, and we collected a good number of this material, so light that it looked like paper.

Here is a small sample of this material, which I don’t know who I should trust to analyze. I never read about a flying saucer been rescued, or pieces of a disk had been collected unless the military authorities did so and used it in confidence. I am sure that this subject will be of great interest to the brilliant columnist, and I am sending him a duplicate for the newspaper and his residence… ‘

But why send it to Ibrahim Sued

From humble beginnings, Sued became the most known columnist in Brazil, fearless of touch in political cases referring to the Rio de Janeiro’s high society.

Naturally, he will be the best choice to spread the news with some credibility.

Even in a Metropole like Rio de Janeiro, it was easy to find the addresses, especially a famous person like Sued.

At that time, anybody phone number could be published in regular phone books. A simple phone call, and you could verify an address.

After Sued published the letter from the Ubatuba Incident, it sparked the curiosity to Olavo Teixeira Fontes, a Brazilian ufo researcher.

The first investigation of the Ubatuba Incident

Olavo Fontes was a physician and former member of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO). He believed it to be a natural event and did not think it was a flying saucer.

He contacted the journalist and received the fragments for future study.

Olavo Fontes described the fragments as “three small pieces of a dull gray solid substance. Their surfaces were not smooth and polished, but quite irregular and apparently strongly oxidized. The surfaces of all samples were covered with a whitish material. The thin, dry powder filled the fissures and cracks on the surface of the first sample. ”

On September 24, the elements were analyzed at the Ministry of Agriculture by the Mineral Production Laboratory.

X-ray spectroscopic analysis from the UFO crash in Ubatuba Incident 1957

Luisa Maria A. Barbosa, who subjected it to spectroscopic analysis, determined that the fragment’s metal was magnesium. She, therefore, wrote in the report:

“It is high purity magnesium without contamination of any other metallic element. This does not mean that there are no other metals in the sample; they were not accused in this test.

This could occur if the characteristic contamination lines of other metals were hidden by the spectrum’s lines. “

Magnesium is not found free in nature but enters into the composition of more than 60 minerals.

X-ray spectroscopic analysis from the UFO crash in Ubatuba Incident 1957

Other tests were performed on the sample that confirmed the purity of magnesium.

Swapped samples?

Olavo Fontes, one of the first investigators of the UFO Phenomenona in Brazil

At the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO). Under Coral Lorenzen’s command, he broke the fragments and sent a part to the US Air Force, but the spectrogram operator said he destroyed the sample without getting data.

APRO then sent it to the US Atomic Energy Commission, which determined the object had a density of 1.7513, slightly higher than ordinary magnesium, with oxygen in the metal.

Other elements were found, but technicians noted the possibility of contamination.

The metal would have been collected from an object that disintegrated at extreme speed with no melting evidence.

APRO also sent fragments taken from the same piece to Dr. R.S. Busk, director of The Dow Chemical Company in Midland, Michigan. It presented a significantly different result.

By the end of the ’60s, the University of Colorado UFO Project, also known as the Condon Committee, analyzed a sample and defined that it would not be as pure as a first show.

The piece would not be part of a more significant object and would not originate from an artificial metallic object.

There was a high concentration of strontium, which can only be added to magnesium artificially.

The Condon Committee on January 8, 1969:

“Although the Brazilian fragment has been proven not to be pure, as stated, the material is considered unique. The high concentration of strontium is particularly interesting since the element is not an expected impurity in magnesium, and Dr. Busk knows how no one artificially adds strontium to magnesium.”

Dow Chemical Company had this technology, but how did it get to Brazil?

Thanks to the negative results of the committee, APRO decided to subject the samples to non-destructive analysis.

The results were briefly presented in the organization’s publication, APRO Bulletin.

The analyzes made in Brazil were published in Coral Lorenzen Flying Saucers’ book: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion From Other Space in 1966.

The Journal for UFO Studies, published by the Center for UFO Studies, CUFOS, finally made public the analysis of the two samples in its 1992 volume 4.

In the comments of the text, Walker and Johnson wrote:

“Ubatuba magnesium has often been hailed as direct and physical evidence of the nature of UFOs. However, after decades of study, the nature of the material is still unknown. The basic problem exists with the use of physical evidence to conclude extraterrestrial origin.”

Indirectly it attests that the fragment analyzed by them would be an unidentified object.

The arrival of the military in Ubatuba in 1957

What studies about the Ubatuba Incident have not mentioned so far has been publicly revealed recently by witnesses.

During the days after the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon explosion at low tide and clear water, fishermen could observe an extended object.

But when they tried to catch it with the help of fishing nets, they found no success.

One morning while preparing their nets for fishing, local fishermen watched a ship approaching the horizon. This ship was from the Brazilian navy.

Sailors got off on boats, went to the beach right at the locals’ homes, and informed them that they could not stay on the beaches or even leave their homes.

Some locals, taken by curiosity, came out through the bushes and watched the military’s actions.

They witnessed two large ships belonging to the Brazilian navy and another unmarked ship.

They could see the removal of a cigar-shaped object placed on the deck of one of the ships.

A new investigation of the 1957 Ubatuba Incident

In May 2016, the researcher Edison Boaventura Jr., President of the Guaruja Ufological Group and Director of Field Research of the Brazilian UFO Research Network, received four metal fragments.

Edison Boaventura Jr

UFO researcher Edison Boaventura Jr

In possession of this material was made new research.

“Mr. Chairman of the UFO Group of Guarujá,

The purpose of this letter is to collaborate with your research anonymously, supplying pieces of metal that belonged to my late father.

From an early age, I remembered that my father told me about the explosion of a disc, in Ubatuba, the coast of São Paulo, showed me small fragments of metal, saying they were from the flying saucer.

As a military officer in the army, he said he had some pieces left, and others were the subject of analysis at the Military Institute of Technology in Rio de Janeiro.

I saw that you made a request by SIC in May 2015 about this event in 1957, so I decided to collaborate by sending attached these fragments.

I want you to help with your research, and I do not want my name and my late father to be involved in this matter, so please respect my anonymity.

Greetings.”

Edison Boaventura Jr. took the Ubatuba Incident fragments to the Institute for Technological Research (IPT), initially, a qualitative analysis of the material was made, it was found that there was an enormous concentration of magnesium.

From this result, a quantitative analysis was then made to know the magnesium percentage of the samples.

The result showed a percentage of 99.3% Magnesium, and the remainder (0.7%) composed mostly of Magnesium Oxide supplemented by other impurities.

Next, the researcher intends to make a structural analysis of the fragments.

But what happened to the fragments researched in 1957

Metal Fragments from the Ubatuba UFO Crash

All pieces examined in 1957 underwent destructive analysis, i.e., to know the particles’ composition, they had to be damaged and consequently destroyed.

Only one has been preserved and is at Stanford University under the care of Peter A. Sturrock.

Professor Pierre Kaufman from the FGV did a scientific paper. He concluded: meteorite fragment that would have collided with the earth between 1933 or 1934 or belonged to a UFO.

What are the chances for the 1957 Ubatuba Incident?

Among this UFO incident researchers, several hypotheses were discussed:

What about a Meteorite?

A meteorite has a big difference from terrestrial rocks, it has its own characteristic, like Fusion Crust.

Fusion Crust is a black crust due to the fusion of minerals at the atmosphere’s entrance.

Remimaglitos, are shaken structures, the main characteristic that the cideries have.

And it has high density, magnetism. Meteorites can be ferrous, rocky, and mixed.

Each meteorite has a chemical composition.

The fragments from the Ubatuba Incident carried by Edison Boaventura Jr. did not present these morphological characteristics.

If it exploded, it might be a bomb.

During the fifties, magnesium was one of the ingredients into military explosive devices.

But testimonies make no reference to airplanes or engine noise.

Was The Ubatuba Incident just an Airplane or Satellite Equipment?

The possibility of a plane carrying or being powered by a magnox reactor is among the options.

Magnox is a metal alloy that was created for the construction of nuclear reactors at the time.

No documentation was found showing transportation for the construction of a Nuclear Reactor in Brazil or neighboring countries.

But the composition is very similar.

The investigation continues…

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.

However, it is also possible that the similarities prove that Anunnaki is real. If the Anunnaki did visit Earth thousands of years ago, then it is possible that they left behind stories and artifacts passed down through the generations.

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.

It has also been called “Britain’s Roswell.”

According to the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), the event posed no threat to national security.

As a result, it was never looked into in terms of security.

Some researchers claimed that the Orfordness Lighthouse had been misinterpreted in the sightings.
