UFO News Article:
“Retired Air Force officer claims
he saw infamous UFO sighting”


6 December 2016
(New York Post, New York City, New York)

Steve Longero, U.S. Air Force Police Sergeantwitnessed the 
26 December 1980 Rendlesham Forest, UK, UFO incident, according to the New York Post.

The Rendlesham Forest, UK, UFO incidents occurred on
26 December (reported as 27 December by Charles I. Halt)
and 28 December 1980 (early hours), according to an article (rendlesham-forest-mod-article) by Nick Pope called “Rendlesham Forest - MoD Article.” 

The twin bases of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge were 
joint Royal Air Force-U.S. Air Force bases at the time of the UFO incidents.



Wikipedia article: “RAF Woodbridge”:


Quote from the “RAF Bentwaters” (Wikipedia) article:
“The mission of the 81st FIW (81st Fighter-Interceptor Wing, U.S. Air Force) was to provide air defence of the United Kingdom. It performed this mission jointly with the RAF, working with No. 11 Group RAF Fighter Command. The wing was the first unit of F-86’s assigned to NATO and the first foreign air unit to participate in the peacetime air defence of the United Kingdom.

In October 1954 the mission of the 81st changed from fighter-interceptor to fighter-bomber operations, carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons. The wing was charged with tactical operations in support of USAFE and NATO, with air defence as a secondary mission. To reflect this change, the unit was redesignated the 81st Fighter-Bomber Wing and traded in its F-86s for the Republic F-84F ‘Thunderstreak.’

On 8 July 1958 Bentwaters was operated as ‘twin base’ with RAF Woodbridge and as a single unit under the newly designated 81st Tactical Fighter Wing. Along with the 91st and 92nd squadrons, the 78th Tactical Fighter Squadron was transferred from RAF Shepherds Grove when the USAF returned Shepherds Grove to the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The 78th TFS operated from Woodbrige, while the 91st and 92nd squadrons operated from Bentwaters.”

UFO Article:
“UFO’s On Radar”


By Micah Hanks, 26 March 2017
(KGRA Digital Broadcasting, Ogden, Utah)

In this article, Hanks mentions the 13-14 August 1956 RAF Bentwaters, UK; December 1980 Rendlesham Forest, UK (RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge); 8 March 1994 South West Michigan and 14 December 1994 Trumbull County, Ohio, radar UFO incidents.

Quote from the article:
“To end on a hopeful note, in instances where radar traces match the visual record of objects seen within a given timeframe and vicinity, one would hope that having both sets of data, at least in circumstances where visual conditions are favorable, might lend credence to the idea that physical objects were indeed present, at least in some of the better UFO reports involving radar over the years.”

From Michael D. Swords’ 2012 article about the 8 March 1994 South West Michigan UFO case (thebiggeststudy.blogspot.com
(I report about this article on 15 August 2017):
“The map at the left [the above map] shows the approximate locations of the NOAA radar station [at ‘A’], the most famous of the observations [by the Graves family, at the pink dewdrop], and several of the other reported sightings, marked with yellow circles, all of which were reported as happening at or VERY near 9:30pm. Rather astonishing. And I believe a little known fact about this case. It was as if Western Michigan ‘lit up’ with UFOs at the same time.”

UFO Case Directory (Close Encounters):
“Rendlesham Forest Encounter / Halt Case
December 26 & 28, 1980
RAF Bentwaters AFB, Suffolk, England”


The whole UFO case report:
Brad Sparks:
December 28, 1980; RAF Bentwaters AFB, England
Rendlesham Forest case is one of the most significant military encounters with a UFO.  Rendlesham Forest is a large pine forest, east of Ipswich, in Suffolk, England.  Nearby are the twin NATO air bases, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, leased to the United States Air Force.  The UFO was chased through the forest by a team led by Lt. Col. Charles Halt, involving multiple-witness sightings by military personnel and slight radioactive anomalies.  At the end of his team’s 2-mile trek, Col. Halt sighted ‘pencil beams’ from the UFO hitting the nuclear weapons storage area at Bentwaters 3 miles away in the distance.  Earlier incident on Dec. 26, 1980, by USAF security patrolmen on duty, has been greatly embellished.”

NICAP.org presents U.S. government (U.S. Air Force), UK Ministry of Defence and UK House of Commons documents that pertain to the UFO case.
