THANKS FOR SAYING SO. It seems enough feel that way--saying so publicly or privately--that I'll likely continue such efforts when they seem warranted.

If you want on [or others want off] my UFO ping list, please let me know.

I SAW A UFO SAYS AIR FORCE CHIEF US air force chief admits mystery lights buzzed his Suffolk airbase

By Bob Roberts

A HIGH-ranking US air force officer and his troops reported seeing a brightly shining UFO in an English forest, it was officially admitted yesterday.

The triangular craft was said to have a pulsing red light on the top and blue lights underneath. It was either hovering or on legs before slipping through the trees as the men closed in. The sighting, featured on TV programmes about unexplained UFOs, was finally revealed by the Government yesterday under the Freedom of Information Act.

The mysterious craft was spotted on December 27 1980 by American airmen at RAF Bentwaters, Woodbridge, Suffolk.

In a report called Unexplained Lights, deputy base commander Lt Col Charles Halt said he saw a "red sun-like light" moving through the trees in Rendlesham Forest.

Three security policemen were given permission to investigate.

Lt Col Halt said: "They reported seeing a strange glowing object in the forest.

"The object was described as being metallic in appearance and triangular in shape, approximately two to three metres across the base and approximately two metres high.

"It illuminated the entire forest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on top and a bank of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering or on legs.

"As the patrolmen approached the object, it manoeuvred through the trees and disappeared. At this time, the animals on a nearby farm went into a frenzy."

The UFO was spotted an hour later near the back gate to the base.

Next morning, Lt Col Halt and his men discovered three 7in circular depressions in the ground. Radiation around them was 10 times higher than normal.

Lt Col Halt told how the UFO returned. He said: "Later in the night, a red sun-like light was seen through the trees.

"At one point, it appeared to throw off glowing particles, then broke into five separate white objects and disappeared.

"Immediately thereafter, three star-like objects were noticed.

"The objects moved rapidly in sharp, angular movements and displayed red, green and blue lights."
