crops for the sixth year running as a result
of the mysterious circles. Once again the
dimensions were the same as in the other
areas/a d just days before they appeared
local police were involved in checking
out a UFO report.
A brilliantly lit circular object was seen
hovering over Stockbridge Down,
Hampshire by Jack and Pat Collins whilst
driving home one night. Mrs Collins said
’It looked like. a big funfair wheel
hovering in the sky’. The object was not
visible for very long as the road along
which the couple were travelling was tree
lined and the object was therefore
blotted out by the trees. They made no
attempt to stop for a better look but on
reaching home telephoned the police,
who searched the area but found nothing.
Although the object was not visible for
very long, perhaps five minutes at the
most, Mr Collins was able to make a
sketch, which perhaps provides the first
clue as to what might be responsible for
the circles. According to Mr ColI.ins. the
outer perimeter appeared to be a con-
tinuous ring of light, whilst the spokes

and the four quarters consisted of
numerous individual l ghts, the lights of
the spokes being considerably brighter
than the others.
Neat paflem
If an object such as that described
above were to land nd the underside of
the craft,with it’s spoke like ccnstruction,
were to rotate as it did so or once it had
landed, then it would almost certainly
produce the neat pattern of flattened
crop wh ich is a feature of these ci rcles.Of
course attached to this large circular
object there would have to be four
smaller ones which must also rotate in the
same way. Again from the neat way in
which the crop is flattened within the
smaller circles they would have to have
the same construction.
Mr and Mrs Collins did not see anything
attached to the large circular object they
observed hovering over the countryside.
However, if we accept the fact that a UFO
-
was responsible for the.circles and by
UFO,I mean an aerial object which has$o

MEETING BETWEEN MINISTER{DS) AND LORD HILL-NORTON

UFOs

a. I accept that there are strange phenomena to be seen in the

sky, however I believe there to be adequate explanations for them.
Experience has shown that most reported sightings can be attributed

to things such as aircraft, meteorological balloons or natural

phenomena like ball lightning. Of course there are many other

equally straightforward explanations. However, tITere are a small

number of cases where a simple explanation cannot be found

immediately and on these occasions we are careful to ensure so far as

possible that that they are of no Defence sign~ficance. Having

satisfied ourselves of this, as you know, we do not attempt any

further investigations. Clearly some reports remain unexplained but

we have found no evidence that these phenomena represent a threat to

national security and therefore cannot justify devoting Defence

resources to their investigation.

b. All reports received by the MOD are channelled through

Seo(A8)2. They are passed to the Air Staff who examine them for Air
Defence implications. In some cases, where (on the face of it) there
CQuld be a defence interest, enquiries are made of relevant radar
est.blishments ete in order to obtain more information. All reports
are .1so pas.ed to the Defence Intelligence organi..tion who bave a

keen erest In aay silhtlnlS ot unusuBl objects. Ve have no

up ia Wbitehall or anywhere el.. lavolved in UFO’s and

advisers other than Sea( 2 are .

 ,>

The Flying Complaints Flight at Rudloe Manor are concerned

with receiving and investigating flying complaints. In the course of
their duties they occasionally receive UFO reports (as do m~ny other
units) but they have no specific role with regard to this subject.

Secretariat (Air Staff) is the Division which provides

secretariat support to CAS and the Air Staff and in this capacity is

responsible for correspondence with members of the public and

answering PQs etc on many subjectst including UFO’s. Sec(AS)2 is the

branch which amongst other things handles UFO’s, there is no such

branch as Air Staff Secretariat 8. You may be thinking of Defence

Secretariat 8 which no longer exists and from which Sec(AS) evolved

as a result of reorganisation of MOD last January.

c. Many of the UFO reports received in MOD oome through Defence

establishments, although most of these come originally from members
of the public. Very rew reports are made ~y military pilots; for
instance, in the last 12 months Sec{AS) has received only two such
reports.

d. No central record of radar recordings is kept. Major Air

Traffic Control units take recordings as a matter of course, however
these are generally destroyed after 30 days. ADGE units do not
regularly make recordings although some are occasionally made for
specific operational purposes. Relevant radar units are consulted
where necessary as part of the normal process of handling UFO reports

in order to ascertain whether there is any correlation between a

reported atlnting and known radar traces.

RAF WOODBRIDGE INCIDENT 27 Dee 80

Col Halt’s report of 13 Jan 81 concerns the sighting of

unusual lights outside the back gate at RAF Woodbridge by two

security patrolmen. Col Halt records what was subsequently reported

to him without comment. The 3 patrolmen who went into Rendlesham

Forest to investigate what they thought might be a crashed aircraft

say they saw a triangular object. It has been suggested that this
might have been a piloted vehicle, however in view of its reported

size (about 9 feet long and 6 feet high) this was, and still is,

considered highly unlikely. Indeed enquiries made both at the time

and subsequently failed to reveal any radar trace of anything unusual

in the area at the time.

Col Halt also reports on his own investigations at the site of

the incident the following day. Once again he draws no conclusions

from his findings and, significantly, does not recommend further

investigation. Our own view also was that no additional action was

required. Later on the night of 29 Dee 80 Col Halt and a number of

others saw more unusual lights, but again we haY~ no record of

anything untoward being picked up on radar.

I think you will agree that it is highly unlikely that any

violation of UK airspace would be heralded by such . display of

lights.. I th I( equall y unlikel y that any recormaisssnce or

spying activit would be an U!HHH in this 14$1.

 ’.

Overall, we believe that the fact that Col Halt did not report
these occurrences to HOD for aLmost 2 weeks after the event, together

with the relatively low key manner in which he handled the matter

(given resources available to him) are indicative of the degree of

importance in defence terms which should be attached to the incident.

He himself took all investigative action which was required. If

members of the public feel that for scientific or other reasons,

there should be an attempt to establish the cause of what happened,

that is for them, but I am confident that it is not something in

which the MOD should or need become further involved.

RAF Woodbridge (Alleged Incident)

Sir Patrick Wal! asked the Secretary of State for
Defence (1) if he has seen the United States Air Force
memo dated 13 January 1981 concemjng unexplained
lights near RAT Woodbridge;
(2)whether, in view of the fact that the United State’s
Air Force memo of 13 January 198 I on the incident at RAF
Woodbridge has been released under the Freedom of
Inforn1at on Act, he will now release reports and
documents concerning similar unexplained incidents in the
United Kingdom;
0) how many unexplained sightings or radar intercepts
have taken place since 1980.
’Ir. Stanley: I have seen the memorandum of 13
January 1981 to which my hon. Friend refers. Since 1980
the Department bas received 1.400 repom of sightings of
tlying objects which the observers have been unable to
identify. There werc no corresponding unexplained radar
contacts. Subject to nOffiJaJ security constraints, I am
ready to give infom1ation about any such reported
sightings that are found to be a matter of concern from a
d fence standpoint, but there have been none to date.

the Department has received 1,400 reports of sightings of
flying objects ’.vhiGh the observers have been unable to
identify. There were no conesponding unexplained radar
contacts. Subject to normal security constr nts. I am
ready to give infom1ation about any sllch reported
sightings that are found to be a matter of concern from a
~fence standpoint. but there have been none to date.

,.--’
 MEETING BETWEEN US of S(AF) AND LORD HILL-NORTON

UFOs

a. I accept that there are strange phenomena to be seen in the

sky, however I believe there to be adequate explanations for them.
Experience has shown that most reported sightings can be attributed
to things such as aircraft, meteorological balloons or natural
phenomena like ball lightning. Of course there are many other
equally straightforward explanations. However, there are a small
number of cases where a simple explanation cannot be fo d

immediately and on these occasions we are careful to ensur that they

are of no Defence significance. Having satisfied ourselves of this,
as you know, we do not Bttempt any further investigations. Clearly
some reports remain unexplained but we have found no evidence that
these phenomena represent a threat to national security and therefore
cannot justify devoting Defence resources to their investigation.

b. All reports received by the MOD are channelled through

Sec(AS)2. They are passed to the Air Staff who examine them for Air
Defence implications. In some cases, where (on the face of it) there
could be a defence interest, enquiries are made of relevant radar
establishments etc in order to obtain more information. All reports
are also passed to the Defence Intelligence organisation who have a
keen interest in any sightings of unusual objects. We have no
specialist group anywhere else involved in UFO’s and
 The Flying Complaints Flight at Rudloe Manor are concerned
with receiving and investigating flying complaints. In the course of
their duties they occasionally receive UFO reports (as do many other
units) but they have no specific role with regard to this subject.

Secretariat (Air Staff) is the Division which provides

secretariat support to CAS and the Air Staff and in this capacity is
responsible for correspondence with members of the public and
answering PQs etc on many subjects, including UFO’s. Sec(AS)2 is the
branch which amongst other things handles UFO’s, there is no such
branch as Air Staff Secretariat 8. You may be thinking of De~ence
Secretariat 8 which no longer exists and from which Sec(AS) evolved
as a result of reorganisation of MOD last January.

c. Many of the UFO reports received in MOD come through Defence

establishments, although most of these come originally from members
of the public. Very few reports are made by military pilots; for
instance, in the last 12 months Sec(AS) has received only one such
report.

d. [GE3 to provide advice please]

e. The Department is happy to release what information we have on

specific incidents. However we could not justify the effort involved
in searching for or collating information of a more general nature.

the Department has received! ,400 reports of sightings of
Hying objects which the observers have been unable to
identify. There were no corresponding unexpbined radar
contacts. Subject to nOn1ai security constraints, I am
ready to give infom1ation about any such reported
sightings that are found to be a mJtt r of concern from a
J t:encc standpoint, but there have been none to date.

In troubling you with these questions I am well aware that

their su Bet matter has often been thought easy to ridicule,
especial when associated with 80me of the wilder notions which ar
current among the civilian research groups. I am not wedded to any
particular theory myself. I do, cn the other hand. believe that
there is overwhelming evidence for a persistent phenomenon of a
highly Uflllsual charactero This is, at the least,of considerable
scientific interest; and I have not yet heard anything from your
Department which convinces me that it is wholly without Defence

b. There are objects probably approximating the shape of a disc, of such . appre-

ofclimb,maneu-
d. The reported operating characteristics such as extreme ratesconsidered
verability (particularly in roll), and action which must be evasive
belief to
when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and radar, lend
the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, auto-
matically, or remotely.
-U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, also a general in theare Air Force Reserves,
who has repeatedly expressed his opinion that UFOs real and who has
been denied access to top secret UFO files at Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base, Ohio, despite his status.

A curious set of regulations exists within NASA. Listed in the Code of

Federal Regulations since 1969, 14 CFR 1211, as they are known, provide
for the detention, examination, and decontamination of persons and things
or other
that have come in direct or indirect contact with a person, animal,
form of life or matter that has "touched directly or come within the atmo-
spheric envelope of any other celestial body."
Originally designed for our expeditions to the moon and, in fact, insti-
tuted only a few days before the first lunar landing, the regulations can be
according
applied to space voyages by vehicles not originating from Earth,
Neil Hosenball. Theoretically, anyone who sees
to NASA’s general counsel
and approaches a UFO and, lucky (7)if enough, is able to touch the object,
fine and/or a year in prison if he or she does
may be liable for a $5,000.00
not submit to detention.
Now, we don’t anticipate that such a thing will ever come down upon
a UFO witness. It would hardly be a way to reward someone with physical
that is the
proof of UFO realty! However, another problem surfaces and
circulated in the media, a potential witness
fact that when such stories are
reporting a UFO encounter. The threat of
could be frightened away from
the public to some as yet unknown
a fine and prison term for exposing
peril may be impetus enough to remain silent.
One witness involved in the following encounter had precisely this fear
in mind when he came forward to tell us what he had gone through.
Persistent stories had come out of England about an unidentified flying
American
object which had come down into the Rendlesham Forest near the radar
Air Force Base at Bentwaters on December 30, 1980. Reports included
which later had been visited by U.S.
tracking from a civilian radar site, ac-
of confiscating the radar tapes, and
Air Force officers with the purpose
counts by USAF personnel of a metallic craft and entities seen in a
clearing
at Rendlesham. The stories, of course, were unverified and little else could
be accomplished unless more concrete data came forth.
Two British UFO investigators, Brenda Butler and Dot Street, followeda

.,
SP~\Jrity sergeant saw entities associated with a dome-shaped UFO in the
~0ds; another witness, an airman, saw marks in the earth characteristic
of what he had heard about UFO landing marks. All witnesses desired com-
plete anonymity, however, and while the story became more intriguing with
the increase in the number of confirming witnesses, it still could not be
considered a strong case by any means. Anonymous witnesses and scattered
rumors are not convincng evidence of anything.
While we were putting this book together, a person came forward as
a result of a UFO article he had read. Fascinated by the subject because
of his experience, this individual was eventually put in contact with the authors
and told a very interesting t le. His identity is known to us, but, by his
request, we will change his name to Art Wallace.
Wallace was attached to Bentwaters Air Force Base as a security police-
man. He had been assigned to the base for only a short period of time,
when at 1:00 A.M. on a night either on or very near to December 30, 1980,
his life took a strange twist. While he was on duty at the Bentwaters flight
line, a jeep pulled up. Two men, a sergeant and a lieutenant, told Wallace
to get in because they were going over to the motor pool. On the way over,
Wallace noticed that many animals were running out of the woods nearby;
something he had never seen before, even in the States. When they arrived
at the motor pool, Wallace and the sergeant were told to get gas-powered
"light-aIls" (trailer-mounted lights used for illuminating large areas). The
lights were attached to the jeep, and they proceeded to the Bentwaters main
gate where they met other vehicles.
The convoy moved out toward the Rendlesham Forest a few miles
away. Wallace heard radio chatter mentioning names of people he knew
plus "OSI,"most likely a reference to the Air Force’s Office ofSpecal Investi-
gations. Wallace saw security police as well as members of the British military
stationed all along the way.
They pulled onto a dirt road and drove about a mile into the Rendlesham
Forest, stopping at what Wallace referred to as a "staging point." The men
were ordered to check their weapons in since they would not be taking them
along. Wallace went into the woods with four other men led by a captain
who had met them at the Bentwaters motor pool. As they approached a
clearing in the woods, they noticed a brightness in the distance and the
sound of helicopters overhead. Wallace noticed an airman crying at the edge
of the clearing with a medic attending him. This puzzled Wallace greatly
as he couldn’t imagine what might have been going on. The first thing the
men noticed when they had a clear view was that large movie cameras had
been placed surrounding a field in the clearing. Many miltary and plainclothes
personnel were milling about watching something.
The "something" was an object, taking the appearance of a transparent
aspirin tablet, hovering about one foot off the ground. Wallace estimated
that the object was fifty feet in diameter and had a bright, pulsating, yellow
 216 Conclusion: Who Goes There?

inside. It did not move from its position. Wallace and some of the
men approached the object to within about ten feet. Two cows in the field
had come over to the object and according to Wallace, appeared to .be just
staring at it, oblivious to the security men in the area.
A radio call was heard over a field radio unit. A helicopter pilot said,
"Here it comes." In the distanc{::, a red light appeared, first behind a pine
tree, then in front of it. The light quickly sped over to the aspirin-shaped
object and hovered at a position about twenty feet above it. After maintaining
this position for a minute, the red light broke up. No explosion occurred
in the conventional sense. The light merely broke up into a shower of particles.
Suddenly, in the place of the red light and the aspirin-shaped object,
another vehicle appeared. Wallace said it was a domed disc. bright white
in color, with an intricately detailed surface much like the models used in
movies like "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters." It had two appendages
on the lower flange of the disc which seemed to be the beginning of delta
wings but not quite. Shadows were cast on the surface of the disc by some
of the raised-relief detail. Wallace and the men with him walked around
the object and noticed an interesting effect. Their own shadows were cast
onto the object, probably by the bright "light-aUs" in the field. Not only
did their shadows bend upwards at the head, but as they walked and then
stopped, the shadows would appear to advance one pace more and then
stop. Stunned and disbelieving of this effect, Wallace and the others walked
and stopped several times, each time noticing the effect repeat itself. Addition-
ally, tbe third time that they tried this, a light came over the head of a
shadow and moved from one head to another.
Wallace recalled turning to say a few words to one of the men. The
next thing he knew, he woke up in bed, fully dressed and muddy up to his
knees. Wallace asked one of his companions in the barracks what time he
had come in. He replied 4:00 A.M. At that point he did not remember what
had happened that night. As he went about his usual duties, Wallace began
to recall the events.
A phone call came later in the day. Wallace was summoned to his
commander’s office along with other security policemen who were at the
scene of the UFO activity. Civilians were in the office also, giving Wallace
the impression of being CIA personnel. The commander politely advised
the men not to talk about the night’s events to anyone. They were brought
into another room where the civilians, much more stern and rude, reminded
the men of their duty and ordered them never to discuss the matter with
anyone. They were checked for radiation, debriefed for an hour, and made
to sign forms which re-emphasized the high security nature of what happened.
Wallace and others were put on a call-in schedule by which they would be
required to phone a certain number daily at 11:30 A.M. as a check on their
whereabouts and activities.

The Air Force file copy had been properly disposed of in accordance with
Air Force Regulations. Fortunately, through diligent inquiry and the gracious
consent of Her Majesty’s government, the British Ministry of Defence and
the Royal Air Force, the US Air Force was provided a copy for you.

The January 13 letter was enclosed with Cot.

Bent’s response. It was on
the official letterhead of the 81st Combat Support Group at Bentwaters and
signed by Lt. Cot. Halt, who was the Deputy Base Commander. The title
of the document is "Unexplained Lights," and it reads like science fiction:
1. Early in the morning of 27 Dec 80 (approximately 0300L), two USAF
security police patrolmen saw unusual lights outside the backforced gate at RAF
Woodbridge. Thinking an aircraft might have crashed or been down,
they called for permission to go outside the gate to investigate. The on-
duty flight chief responded and allowed three patrolmen to proceed on
foot. The individuals 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 meters across the base and approxi-
mately two meters high. It illuminated the entire forest with a white light.
The object itself had a pulsating red light on top with a bank(s) of blue
lights underneath. The object was hovering or on legs. As the patrolmen
approached the object, it maneuvered through the trees and disappeared.
At this time the animals on a nearby farm went into a frenzy. The object
was briefly sighted approximately an hour later near the back gate.
2. The next day, three depressions 1 V2" deep and 7" in diameter were

night (29 Dee 80) the area was checked for radiation. Beta/gamma readings
of 0.1 milliroentgens were recorded with peak readings in the three depres-
sions and near the center of the triangle formed by the depressions. A
nearby tree had moderate (.05-.07) readings on the side of the tree toward
the depressions.
3. Later in the night a red sun-like light was seen through the trees. It
moved about and pulsed. At one point it appeared to throw then off glowing
particles and then broke into five separate white objects and disap-
peared. Immediately thereafter, three star-like objects were noticed in the
sky, two objects to the north and one to the south, all of which were about
100 off the horizon. The objects moved rapidly in sharp angular movements
and displayed red, green and blue lights. The objects to the northfull appeared
to be elliptical through an 8-12 power lens. They then turned to circles. The
The objects to the north remained in the sky for an hour or more.down
object to the south was visible for two or three hours and beamed
a stream of light from time to time. Numerous individuals, including the
undersigned, witnessed the activities in paragraphs 2 and 3.

Outside of some small variation in detail, the story in the document is amaz-
ingly similar to what Art Wallace described. This letter was certainly part
of a more detailed file, since it is clear that an official investigation was
conducted. Looking back at Cot.
Cochran’s April 28 response to our inquiry
on Rendlesham, we now see that it amounts to nothing more than a gross
 C01iclusion;’ Who Goes There? 219

" tnpt to mislead the public and constitutes a blatant violation of the spirit
and the letter of the Freedom of Information Act.
What could be equally as mysterious as the events themselves’is the
reason why the letter was released in the first place. We probably would
not have known about its existence had it not been given to us. And it
surely doesn’t help to make the Air Force’s official stance on UFOs credible.
Could there be a segment within the Air Force that wants us to have the
facts on UFOs? It’s a distinct possibility.
Our investigation into this most bizarre affair continues.
We have already discussed many of the agencies involved in collecting
reports of UFOs domestically and internationalIy. One other potential source
of UFO data has not been mentioned only because it has been relatively
unknown until recently through revelations by the New York Times.
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)is an intelligence agency
whose very existence has been classified top secret. It has an extraordinary
budget of $2 billion per year and manages to hide this primarily in Air
Forces operations. It functions in such a manner that nothing about it is
subject to open scrutiny.
The NRO’s mission is to monitor international communications (like
the NSA) and to oversee the operation of the nation’s spy satellite system.
Government officials have even refused to discuss the agency’s name if it
were brought up. How might the NRO’s operations relate to UFO research?
Photo-reconnaissance satellites have advanced to such a degree that
even individuals can be specifically identified from orbits one hundred miles
up. If strange aerial activity were to be detected in space as has been done
in the past by NORAD (see Chapter 1), a photo-reconnaissance satellite
could be expected to be pressed into duty by taking high-resolution photos
of the UFOs. Significant strong evidence for UFOs may cun::ently exist in
the NRO’s files but accessab ty would be virtualIy impossible under present
security provisions. Such security could also protect an above-top secret ver-
sion of Project Saint (see Chapter 13) in photographing UFO activity.
Let us summarize in detail our conclusions on the UFO subject. (We
refer to the small percentage of total reports which are currently listed as genuine
unknowns:

1) UFOs are a real, material, physical phenomenon, completely unidentifiable

in conventional terms.
2) UFOs display intelligence of a very high order.
3) Granting that UFOs are real and intelligent, somebody is behind the phe-
nomenon; that is, advanced biological life forms.
4) These life forms are here for a purpose. A "clear intent" has been demon-
strated numerous times.
 2,~O Conclusion: Who Goes There?

5) Their purpose at the present time is unknown but may be related to an

extended surveillance of what might be termed a primitive. embryonic
society.
6) The origin of the biological life forms is unknown. but the extraterrestrial
hypothesis seems to be the most attractive explanation. although not the
only one.
7) UFOs have overflown U.S. military and other government facilities since
World War II, as evidenced by official
variety of federal agencies.
U.s. document releases from a
8) This activity has extended to other nations, as evidenced by official U.S.
government document releases.
9) UFO activity over some U.S. military/governmental fac ties has been
U.s.
of such a sensational. dramatic nature that a definite threat to national
security is considered as fact within the highest levels of government. (This
scenario also applies to foreign governments.)
10) Documented UFO reports of national security signi6cance have been and
continue to be withheld. under tight secrecy regulations, from all but the
most highly-placed government officials.
II) Despite tight secrecy regarding release of UFO documents, government
officials most closely associated with UFO data of national security impor-
tance probably do not have a definite "answer" to the UFO problem,
but they monitor the phenomenon in pursuit of an answer.
12) The monitoring procedure probably includes the use of unmarked helicop-
ters as convenient vehicles of transportation to and from scenes of UFO
and other related activity.

Part of why this book exists is to urge people with any knowledge of the
events discussed here to contact us and fill in the missing details. Other
events related to the subject matter of the book, but not mentioned, would
also be of great interest.
We would like to stress that no information is being sought other than
UFO data. Sensitive material about the defense of the United States, military
and government personnel, and the internal functions of federal agencies is
not of interest to the authors. The protection of such details is fully and
understandably recognized under the Freedom of Information Act.
Since
the government has declared many times that UFOs are no threat to national
security, we feel fully justified in asking that data about UFOs be released
and put out before the public for a fair and open-minded assessment of
what is one of the most intriguing topics in recorded history.
In particular, we solicit any information on the existence of long-ru-
mored movie films on UFOs-some in general documentary format, others
showing actual footage of UFOS filmed by people on the ground and by
pilots in the air, equipped with aerial cameras. Additionally, a document
written in the summer of 1948 by Air Force Project Sign personnel entitled
"Estimate of the S uation" is sought. Although the original document was
supposedly destroyed in 1948, copies were known to exist years later.
The "Estimate of the Situation" is a curiosity of UFO history. The
 Conclusion: Who Goes There? 221

c.."Jument concluded that UFOs were interplanetary, according to those few

individuals who saw it, including the former head of Project Blue Book in
the early 1 950s, Captain Edward Ruppelt. Ruppelt stated that at least one
copy, legal-sized with a black cover stamped "Secret," survived its original
destruction order. Since then, all attempts to locate the document have failed.
The Air Force’s responses to such inquiries have been strangely contradictory.
One letter to a UFO researcher by the Air Force’s Director ofLegislative
Liaison, Major General W. P. Fisher, said, "There has never been an Air
Force conclusion that flying saucers were real and were interplanetary space
ships. The alleged 1948 document mentioned in your letter is nonexistent."
Yet,in 1967,the Air Force’s Chief, Civil Branch ofthe Office ofInforma-
tion’s Community Relations Division, Lt. Colonel George Freeman, said:

Regarding the 1948 "Estimate of the Situation" the late Captain Ruppelt
in his book, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, provides the answer.
The Top Secret Estimation was working its way up to the higher echelons
of the Air Force. It got to the late General Hoyt S. Vanderberg, then Chief
of Staff. before it was "batted down," The General wouldn’t "buy"interplan-
etary vehicles, The report lacked proof and the Estimate died a quick death.
Some months later, it was completely declassified and relegated to the
incinerator. I am sorry, but we have no copies of this document.

The "Estimate" obviously survived destruction by several accounts. Knowl.

edge of its location would be of great historical importance.
We have tried to give a rational assessment of UFOs. Old questions
have been answered and new ones have been raised. To be sure, UFOs have
not been given a fair day in court, which is why the subject remains cloaked
in rumor and ambiguity. Some scientists are aware of the challenge placed
before us, but the scientific community at large must shoulder some of the
blame for the way the UFO phenomenon has been treated. Scholars have
descended upon UFO enthusiasts in righteous indignation, accusing them
of promoting pseudoscience and misinforming the public to an almost irrever-
sible degree. Indeed, some of the criticism is well-deserved. Serious UFO
researchers were, for some time, a small minority in a subject dominated
by religious fanatics, pseudointellectuals, and a variety of space explorers,
whose alleged trips to "lush, green Venus" and the marvelous cities on the
far side of the moon titillated millions.
Inevitably, the wheat is separated from the chaff and the true nature
ofa mystery manifests itself. This is what present-day UFO logists are promot-
ing-a serious look at real events, not a 19808 version of "Earth vs. Flying
Saucers" or "Invaders from Mars."
The U.S. government is convinced that UFOs are a serious matter. It
is only through a concerted effort by the world’s braintrust that UFOs can
be dealt with effectively, almost surely leading to the revelation of new
truths.

led to believe it gets at present. There is evidence that at least three other
governments take the phenomenon seriously. A mass of documents released in the
US under the American Freedom of Information Act shows a close and continuing
interest by governmental agencies. The French agency GEPAN (Groupe d’Etudes des
Phlnomtnes A rospatiaux Non-identifits) which was set up by the then French
Minister of Defence in 1977 under CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) rem-
ains in existence despite the heavy retrenchment in French government expenditure
and continues to collect and analyse UFO reports country--wide. And there is a
degree of recent evidence in the Soviet Press that the Russians take a close
interest in the phenomenon through the Moscow Aviation Institute and (possibly)
the National Academy of Sciences. Is it really the case that the British NOD

study of the phenomenon, viz. something in the nature of a small expert committee
in Whitehall or the placing of responsibility on a designated and expert director-
ate in the MOD, should there not be ? Is there no liason with French and US
agencies ?

I hope that you will reel able to comment on the three questions at
the end of the preceding paragraph. I ask them, not in any spirit of contention,
but because I believe that we cannot afford to ignore a persistent phenomenon
which other countries appear to take seriously. It seems to me to deserve systematic
study within a Defence context, even if only to dismiss it in the end as trivial.
I think you will know that there are others~whose judgement is to be respected and
whose experience qualifies themtwho take a similar view, Lord Hill-Norton among
them.
To return to the particular case of RAF Woodbridge, you may already
be aware that television documentaries of the occurrence have been made by two
foreign companies. The programme made by Cable News Network is now likely to be
shown in this country before long, I have not yet seen the documentary in full,
myself, but I understand from the organisation that they claim to have established
a number of facts which are very much at odds with the view that Col. Halt and
other USAF personnel merely misperceived some phenomenon with a wholly conventional
explanation (the Orfordness lighthouse, a satellite re-entry, a bright meteor).
The following are among the more important points which Cable appear to be claiming.
1. Col. Halt adheres to the report of 13th January 1981, of which the MOD
has a copy. He also confirms the authenticty of a tape-recording made by
himself on site on the night of 29th December 1980 which tallies with
paragraph 3 of his report (and in some respects goes beyond it).
2. Other witnesses to the events of 27th and 29th December 1980 reported
by Halt have made sworn depositions.

3. Although not reported by Halt, there was an unusual occurence near

RAF Woodbridge on the night of 26th December 1980. An unidentified object
in an area of Rendlesham Forest sufficiently worried USAF personnel to
cause them to seek help from the Suffolk police. Police officers at
Woodbridge (the village) have confirmed that they responded to this call,
albeit without establishing unambiguous evidence at the site of the
’sighting’ claimed by the USAF contingent which had been sent to investi-
gate it.
4. There is evidence that RAF Watton (and perhaps other radar installations)
had radar traces on at least one of the three nights in question of an
unidentified aerial object in the area of RAF Woodbridge/Rendlesham Forest,

5. There is evidence that a 16mm cine-film was made at the site by USAF
personnel on 29th December 1980 and was referred for study by the USAF
headquarters in Germany.

a surprising number of each issue of the most prestigious British journal on the

UFO phenomenon (though its i.mportation by ordinary Soviet citi.zens is forbidden I).
We must strongly suspect to put it no higher that the British Ministry of Defence

interfere with electrical and electronic devices, register itself on film and

must surely be of more than passing interest to a government department which is
charged with our defence. I hope I shall be thought to compliment rather than criti-

that the Ministry of Defence had flatly denied any knowledge of suppose

extraordinary occurrence.
The Ministry of Defence may well have good reasons for witholding information
about the Rendlesham incidents. As a former Defence pfficial,I would not wish to
press questions on any matter touching national security; and in those circumstances
I would not be surprised if questions pressed by others were met by a refusal to
reply. But I cannot help feeling that it is something of a lapse from the usual
standards of a government department to issue a direct mis-statement. Concealment is
one thing (and is often justified), false denial is quite another.

The RAF Woodbridge case of December 1980 strikes me as one of the most interes
ing and important of recent years, anyway in this country perhaps the most signifi
cant military sighting (or supposed sighting) since the celebrated events of 13th/14
August 1956 near RAF Bentwaters and RAF Lakenheath (both of which are, by an enter-
taining coincidence, quite close to Woodbridge in that much-haunted county of Suffo!
Those who wish to study the Bentwaters/Lakenheath incidents will find descriptions
of them in the books mentioned below. The RAF Woodbridge case is described at length
in SKYCRASH (see above). It is also to be the subject of several radio and televisio
programmes. Much was said about it in THE NEWS OF THE WORLD in 1983. mainly in its
issues of 2nd and 9th October. Alone in Fleet Street, the then editor, Derek Jameson
decided to give space to Halt’s report; and Keith Beabey of THE NEWS OF THE WORLD
pursued it vigorously in the face f the kind of ridicule which the Uquality’! news-
papers seem to find it expedient to attach to this mysterious and persistent phenom-
enon.
It was the Woodbridge case which prompted me to take up a long-shelved intenti
to write a tlUFO book". I have chosen, quite deliberately, to cast it as a piece of
fiction. Fiction allows the imagination to range widely, and it seems to me that thi
can sometimes be productive in turning better-qualified minds to new aspects of a
-
problem. A false hypothesis can often have as much heuristic value as a good one !
It does, at the least, enable serious researchers to consider and properly test -
a new idea, even if only to throw it away when it fails to stand up to scrutiny. I a
far from being wedded to the hypotheslson which A SECRET PROPERTY is based. The
main object of the book is to entertain, and to do so in the form of a thriller. It
most certainly does not reflect any inside knowledge or startling revelation on the
part of a former Defence official. (If I . had such knowledge, the Official Secrets Ac
would forbid me to reveal it I).
