Summary

On episode 139 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we tackle one of the most well-known and well documented UFO events of all time; The Rendlesham Forest UFO incident. Often dubbed "Britain's Roswell", this event took place over three consecutive nights in a forest between two joint military bases in Suffolk, England in December of 1980. Set amongst the backdrop of the Cold War, US Forces were stationed in England in case of a Soviet attack. Unbeknownst to British forces, the US were secretly housing nuclear weapons on the base as well, completely against nuclear treaty at the time. Early during the Christmas holiday, strange lights were witnessed on radar and in person over RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge. But not only lights... a solid craft was said to have landed in Rendlesham Forest which ran between the joint bases. Officers were sent out to investigate, and what they experienced would become one of the most incredible close encounter UFO stories ever recorded. Backed up by official military documents, audio recordings during the sightings and encounters in the forest, and a developing story up until today, this is the story of Rendlesham. This episode was directly inspired and co-written by an article at wwwtheunredacted.com Selected audio provided by Jeremy Peasley, the National Archives, The Disclosure Project, The Citizens Hearing, Exopolotics Germany, The BBC, and CNN Special Assignments.

0:45.0	This is the story of skies with Brian's bread. Oh, It was a rather quiet and cold night in 1980. It's probably not much fun to be on security duty on Christmas night, thousands of miles
1:36.0	from home in a cold British military base in England.
1:40.8	20-year-old American Patrol Sergeant John Burrows had the short straw that night,

2:25.0	In his two years of working at the base, the 26-year-old Peniston had never seen lights in the
2:31.2	Rendosham woods before, but had witnessed several small aircraft crashes during his career and felt that this might explain what the men were seen.
2:41.0	Relating this possibility to the security tower at around 3 a.m.
2:45.8	Peniston, Burrows, and fellow airman Ed Kibansek were given permission to venture out
2:51.5	into the forest to investigate.
2:53.8	I then ordered Herman Kibanzak, A1C Burrows, to respond with me off site.
3:00.1	When we arrived to the inspected crash site, it quickly became apparent that we were not dealing with a plane crash.
