What happened next according to a secret Air Force memo obtained under the Freedom of Information Act is that a triangular-shaped object was found on the forest floor. It had a red light on top and a bank of blue lights underneath ... As the patrolman approached the object it manoeuvred through the trees and disappeared. UFO Cover-Up: Out of the Blue, citing Lt-Col Charles Halt’s memo
And as we watched it appeared like an eye; it was oval and it blinked, and it had a black centre. Something like a burning molten metal was dripping off the object. We watched it for probably a minute, maybe two minutes. Suddenly the object very silently exploded and broke into small white objects and it immediately disappeared. Lt-Col Charles Halt, interview The British UFO Files
We went out into the forest with the security police. The whole time I was using my small cassette recorder for recording – and I turned it off and on because I only had twenty – twenty-five minutes’ worth of tape on it. Lt-Col Charles Halt
We’re about 150 or 200 yards from the site. Everything else is just deadly calm. There is no doubt about it. There’s some type of strange flashing red light ahead. I saw a yellow tinge in it too. Weird. It appears to be making a little bit this way. It’s brighter than it has been. It’s coming this way. It is definitely coming this way. Pieces of it are shooting off. There is no doubt about it. This is weird ... Now we’re observing what appears to be beam coming down to the ground. This is unreal ... There’s one object still hovering over Woodbridge Base at about five to ten degrees off the horizon. Still moving erratic and similar lights beaming down, as earlier. [recorder runs out of tape] Lt-Col Charles Halt, recording made while approaching UFO during second visitation
I believe the objects that I saw at close quarter were extraterrestrial in origin and that the security services of both the United Kingdom and the United States have attempted – both then and now – to subvert the significance of what occurred at Rendlesham Forest and RAF Bentwaters by the use of well-practised methods of disinformation. Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Halt, affidavit
Drawing within a few feet of the craft Warren says he witnessed an amazing site. There were officers and airmen facing the object and three small glowing entities standing in the light ... Warren then watched as a senior officer began communicating with the Beings. Warren was then sent from the clearing and given no explanation for what he’d seen ... But Larry Warren is the only airmen claiming he saw alien life-forms. Another problem with Warren’s account of events is that nobody can remember him in the forest that night. Warren remains steadfast over his conviction. Our World is Changing
It happened and it was real and someone else visited Rendlesham Forest in 1980. Larry Warren, USAF Airman retired, witness to second visitation
In the field was this object on the ground like a science fiction movie but there was something alive associated with it. It didn’t come out of any doors; there were no windows; there was this thing and it was changing all the time ... There was something separate from it like these three what you would perceive as kids ... The senior people there seemed to be following like a protocol. It seemed to be there was a procedure. Larry Warren
1980 Bentwaters: These objects were on the ground on two different nights; potentially there was another life-form seen. Larry Warren, US Air Force, evidence to The Disclosure Project 2001
The following audio was recorded in December 1980 by Lt. Col. Charles Hart in Rendlesham Forest, England.

140 miles north of London is RAF Bentwaters: in December in 1980 the United States Air Force base armed with nuclear weapons was reportedly the site of a series of UFO encounters over a three-day period … Details of this sighting were first made public when this Air Force memo was obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
