In the dead of the night just after Christmas 1980, the airmen from USAF Bentwaters air base went to investigate an event in Rendlesham Forest near Woodbridge, Suffolk
It is clear that they thought they were witnessing some type of phenomena, with descriptions of "strange" lights in sky and odd damage to pine trees 15ft to 18ft off the ground.
One of the Americans is heard to say: "I hear very strange sounds of farmers - barnyard animals. They're very, very active, making a lot of noise. "Straight ahead. There it is again. Straight ahead. What is it? A strange small red light. "It looks maybe half a mile further ahead. Go back to the edge of the clearing, see if we can get a look at it... the animals have gone quiet now... It is deathly calm." He adds in hushed tones: "There is no doubt about it - it is a strange flashing red light ahead. "I saw a yellow tinge in it too. Weird. It's coming this way. It's definitely coming this way. "There is no doubt about it. This is weird."

It doesn't help the skeptical opinion on this event that it took thirty years just to release a vague tape.
If there is nothing to the UFO phenomenon there would be no need for three decades of secrecy on this tape.
Why the extreme delay? Its not as if this was an unrequested piece of government documentation. We've heard about this event since 1983 and its been one of the major cases ever since it was known.
