Section F1 : Rendlesham Forest incident

edit on 8-7-2015 by IsaacKoi because: (no reason given)



The events in Rendlesham Forest in England during December 1980 are among the best known UFO sightings.This incident featured as the third best incident in a documentary produced by Paul Kimball entitled “Best Evidence: Top 10 UFO Cases”, purportedly based on the results of a survey conducted by Paul Kimball in 2005/2006 of “a select group of the world’s leading UFO researchers”. This incident came first in an online poll conducted in March/April 2006 by Paul Kimball of “the UFO case with the ‘best evidence’ ever”. This incident is Case 18 in my "Top 100" article , since it was referred to in 89 of the UFO books covered by that article. The Rendlesham incident also featured in a document (“the Rockefeller Briefing Document”) endorsed by Dr Mark Rodeghier (President of CUFOS), Richard Hall (Chairman of FUFOR) and Walter Andrus (President of MUFON) as containing “the best available evidence for the existence of UFOs”. As part of a survey by the Fortean Times in 2007 of various researchers of the ten cases from 1947 onwards that interested them the most, British ufologist Nick Pope described this incident as “probably the world’s most significant UFO case”.As part of the same survey by the Fortean Times in 2007 of the ten cases from 1947 onwards that interested them the most, this incident featured in lists of cases produced by:• Stanton Friedman• jointly by British ufologists Dave Clarke and Andy Roberts• British ufologist Jenny Randles• British ufologist Gary HeseltineI will refrain from uploading all my notes on the Rendlesham Forest incident(s), not least because they amount to a few hundred pages, but for anyone unfamiliar with that case I’ll just briefly give links to the overviews on the relevant Wikipedia page and a thread here on ATS entitled ”The Rendlesham Forest UFO - What really Happened?” . Various documents and resources can be found on MANY other websites, including on Fran Ridge’s excellent NICAP website and on The UFO Evidence website The Rendlesham incident also features in a long list of UFO documentaries. (I mean that quite literally : at some point I really should post the long list I’ve compiled of UFO documentaries featuring this incident, since I found that a useful reference document when looking into this incident in some detail a couple of years. Indeed, I should probably write up all my Rendlesham notes and either post them here or write a book. I did suggest the latter possibility, only half-jokingly, to one of the AFOSI agents involved in the investigation of the Rendlesham incident(s) when he kindly responded to my requests for information about that information). One of the various interesting videos online about the Rendlesham incident is the CNN special embedded below:Some of you may be surprised to learn that the remote viewing documents released by the CIA include a document relating to a session on 14 July 1986 looking into the Rendlesham Forest incident:That document includes several pages from a UFO book discussing the Rendlesham incident (specifically, pages from Chapter 14 of “Clear Intent” by Lawrence Fawcett and Barry Greenwood). That document also includes details of a remote viewing session entitled “Rendlesham Forest Incident”, in which the remote viewer was “LB” (i.e. Lyn Buchanan – see Section G7 below ) and the interviewer was “ED” (i.e. Ed Dames – see Section G3 below ). I’ll embed a few sample pages from this document below, for ease of reference.
