This is a very interesting case. I have seen two documentaries and read a few reports on this case. Listening to the actual military witness makes one wonder what happend there.

Here is one site that has some info on it. The Videos (I think one was a unsolved mysteries) with witness interviews are even more compelling.

Take a look.

Rendlesham Forest Incident
http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case279.htm

One explanation has been "it was lighthouse light"
another was "It was nothing more than a meteor shower"

What do you think?

This is a very interesting part. Why did that happen?

It was normal, regular, UFO visit to Earth.

Extremely strong electric field around the space craft,
causes slower reaction between brain cells in brain.

So does marijunana. I was an MP from 1977 to 1982 and let's just say that some were less than pure.

I can't recall the program, but I'm sure I've seen some pretty solid debunking of this incident on TV. I'll try to find it.

Also from Ian Ridpath's page...

Come on guys at least read the case. There were 19 people involved on two separate nights. Meteors don't go back up. The lighthouse light does not match at all.

Three men see triangle craft on ground that left indentation marks. Radiation levels were 10 times higher than normal in that area.

Men saw a red object that broke into 5 lights then disappeared.

Men saw craft in air that shot down pencil beams of light at their feet.

I saw the men interviewed and were asked if it could have been a lighthouse or meteors. They acted as if the person that suggested that was nuts. Asking him to explain how meteors land, how they can go back up.

They did see where the lighthouse was during the initial sighting which means they were two different things.

The lighthouse and meteors do not match the reports. It could be that all men were lying about it but it does not seem plausible that it was a meteor or
Lighthouse.

Speaking as someone who has been to the site, I'd agree with Ian Ridpath.

You mentioned on another thread that you had pictures; I don't suppose you could upload them for us all, could you? Despite coming to the conclusion that Ridpath's explanation was the most likely, I'm intruiged by the case as it happened locally, and there have been a few other sightings of 'interesting' things in the area - it would seem that there were a few unusual craft flying out of nearby Bentwaters US airbase at the time.

Prove it, prove the meteors don't go back up!


Prove it, prove, there si no supporting documentation for such unbaised claims!


Prove it wasn't a firework! Prove!


Prove it wasn't 5$ laser beam, made in China!


Prove meteors don't go back up!


Prove it wasn't lighthouse! LOL!


Prove it, prove!

h_c...your sarcasm is not appreciated...

That's not sarcasm, that's being open-minded...

Who was it who said you shouldn't be so open-minded that your brain falls out?

It would just be nice if the sarcasm came from someone capable of showing any evidence at all for their claims other than "because I said so."

Interesting. Do you have a cite for this?

When people work in electric generation facilities, or in close proximity to high voltage lines, do their brains slow down?

I've never noticed, but then some that know me would ask how I would know if my brain slowed down.

Lynne Kelly examines this case in her excellent little book "A Skeptic's Guide to the Paranormal." She takes Ridpath's explanation.

causes slower reaction between brain cells in brain

Could have been worse, could have suggested it slowed down brain cells in the feet.

Well I have visited a glavanisation plant where they use VERY large currents...
The magnetic field was that strong, that a wrench lined up with the streamlines of the field when you came near the ponds.
I was incapable to move it in another position.

Oh, by brain cells worked pretty the same speed as normal , I guess...
