Shortly afterwards [after the Rendlesham Forest experience], Burroughs fell ill with symptoms resembling radiation exposure.
But the real problems started in 2011, when doctors were astonished after the mithral valve of his heart had failed - something which usually happens to men much older than 50-year-old Burroughs.
"I couldn't work and was going downhill fast," he continued.
Neither Burroughs nor his doctor were able to access his medical records, which were classified.
Burroughs even claimed the Air Force denied he was employed with them at the time of the UFO incident.
He asked for the help of presidential candidate Senator John McCain, who was also unable to get his hands on all the medical records.
Finally, Burroughs' legal team found two documents from the British Ministry of Defence which showed high levels of radiation were detected at the site where he encountered the mystery UFO.
The US Veterans Association and Department of Defence then agreed to pay for his treatment.
"I'm still trying to work out what I saw," Burroughs said. "I think this is a phenomenon the government is aware of, but are still trying to work out exactly what it is.
"We had a very weird experience. There is clearly something strange going on."

This? This is how you get the VA to respond to you?
Me too! Me too! I saw Bigfoot driving a spaceship to get the Loch Ness Monster!
They didn’t say “The Veterans Administration.” They said “The Veterans Association.”
They also said “Department of Defence”. It’s one of those things the English do. I wish they’d learn how to speak and write American.
Rendlesham Forest in December 1980, UFO incident
Something really weird happened there, just don’t know what.
They saw a lighthouse through the trees and fog and didn’t know what it was.
I have seen the same thing happen when the Moon comes up with a low scud of clouds or fog.
Except that in this case there was no moon, or something like that. The moon was ruled out. These guys were no dummies.
Lighthouses are radioactive?
Only the really cool ones ;)
“They saw a lighthouse through the trees and fog and didnt know what it was.”
Except for the part where there was something on the ground and one of them actually touched it.
I just got a new book about it; I’ll have a read and see how good a case it makes.
Something odd happened there. You had too many witnesses, most of them USAF security police including a Lieutenant Colonel who would have known making something up like this would have nothing but adverse effects on his career. I’m certainly not convinced it was alien activity, but certainly something bizarre occurred there.
Thanks for the ping. Very interesting. Apparently, he was able to prove he was in the U.S. Air Force at that time although the U.S. government initially denied it.
And since this event was in 1980, the National Personnel Records Center could NOT claim that his Air Force personnel file “was destroyed in the [1973] fire.”
Hey! I saw that episode!
Don't these aliens have an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to deal with?
“This?”

Resolution isn’t great, but good enough.
Thanks RoosterRedux.
