Station: BBC Suffolk
Show: Mark Murphy Breakfast
Broadcasted: November 1st, 2010

Description and details:

In recent article (news.bbc.co.uk...), radio host Mark Murphy from BBC Suffolk has stated that he is preparing special show on Rendlesham that will be broadcasted from Bentwaters Cold War Museum on December 17th

On November 1, prelude for that special was broadcasted inside regular show "Mark Murphy Breakfast" on BBC Suffolk. Mark has confirmed once more that he is preparing the special and he is calling listeners and witnesses for cooperation. Mark has stated few times that he hopes that mystery will be solved during the special. On other occassion he adds that he is now fairly convinced that he knows what has happened. During one segment, he also makes it clear that he don't think that event could be explained with lighthouse theory or with a lights from the police patrol car.

I have processed 180 minutes of the whole "Mark Murphy Breakfast" show and I have extracted only the references about Rendlesham. The lenght of edited audio is now 29 minutes (so you will never have to listen whole 180 minutes - here is everything you will need). So once more, here is the download link:

Also preparation for special is already covered in 2 articles for East Anglian Daily Times:

Had a listen and it does sound just a little sad doesn't it. They advertise the show off the back of claiming to have solved it on the one hand, but then the guy begins to talk about. "I am open to changing my mind"...

It's beginning to sound like a stunt to claim the biggest ever audience for a local radio station broadcast to me.

I will not listen to bbc nonsense if i was you. After working there i can tell you, to not even believe a word they say.

Useless waste of time if you listen to this propaganda from mi5 news.

I posted about this yesterday. It would have been nice to have you add to my thread. I guess there will be dozens of threads started about this show before it airs on Dec. 17, 2010. :sigh:

Rendlesham Revealed: New evidence in UFO mystery

Hi there! My first ever post on ATS!

I typed UFO into Google news earlier and a story came up from The Sun newspaper relating to new evidence on the Rendelsham case in the form of some 'never before heard tapes' from the airmen on the ground at the time. However if you click on the link you get a 404 error. It takes you to The Sun website but it says the story has been lost?

Lost or removed??

I've just checked and the headline still flags up. If you are in the UK type UFO into google news and the story is the second hit.

I know The Sun isn't the most reliable of news sources but theres no smoke without fire as they say? There may be more to this radio show investigation than meets the eye.

I'm in the Uk and the page is down from over here as well. Gives another link to hear the tapes but that leads to the East Anglian Daily Times site and I am jiggered if i can find anything on it.

I saw that also. It just seems to give a short transcript but no real information, it also seemed a bit tongue in cheek.

I guess we will have to wait for the radio show! Unless these tapes emerge from elsewhere. You would think it would be quite a big story given the history of the Rendelsham Incident. They will probably fall back on the old lighthouse explanation once again.

All there is on the net are transcripts and just snippets at that. They are gonna drive the hype up as much as they can for this.. and then it'll fall flat on it's face, with no real explanation whatsoever.

You got that right mate. Probably with all the cuts going on at the BBC someone sees this as a golden opportunity to prove themselves. If these tapes exist they will be played to the public with great fanfare but most likely won't really resolve anything at all.

Still, I live in hope for some Earth-shattering revelations.

I suspect this is most likely just a cynical reaction and cash in by the bbc to all the complaints they received the last time they "reported" the case. I was one of the many who contacted them demanding more serious coverage but on the surface this doesn't appear to be any better. More harm than good I shouldn't wonder.

After my report on first prelude show for BBC special about Rendlesham - broadcast on November 1st on BBC Suffolk inside Mark Murphy Breakfast show - I was curious to hear will there be more announcements in the upcoming shows. It seems that Host Mark Murphy is trying hard to keep the anticipation for the special. In fact they have even created two jingles for radio special so far. As I started to listen BBC Suffolk more and more, I could hear that jingles are running during the whole day in other shows too. So it seems they are actually trying to make this as a radio event. So to remind everyone once more - radio host Mark Murphy has stated that he is preparing special show on Rendlesham that will be broadcast from Bentwaters Cold War Museum on December 17th. It is a joined project between BBC Suffolk and newspaper East Anglian Daily Times with their goal to "resolve the mystery" as they say.

I have processed first 18 hours of radio shows. Every breakfast show is running for 180 minutes and it airs from Monday to Saturday each week.

I have extracted only Rendlesham references for Week #1 of prelude shows (broadcast from November 1 to 6) - shows without Rendlesham references are ignored. The list of download link is available on the beginning of this message.

I will continue to monitor the situation and report accordingly.

Best Wishes

So is this from your point of view sensible radio, or just tabloid ridicule like bbc and others normally do?

BBC Suffolk: Rendlesham Forest UFO airmen at Woodbridge event

Summary:

After almost 2 and a half months of work I have finally finished processing BBC Suffolk „Mark Murphy Breakfast“ shows that were aired during November and December 2010. Now they are available and preserved for historical record and research purposes. They can also serve as a sample of stereotypical UFO comments and promos for future thesis about media and UFOs. Let’s begin. Every episode of Mark Murphy Breakfast show airs from Monday to Saturday. The length of each episode is 3 hours. In total, 49 shows were processed and approximately 195 men hours were invested in this project (conservative estimate). I had to process every episode and to edit audios only with Rendlesham and UFO references.

On 1st November 2010 BBC Suffolk started to air promos for their big radio special on Rendlesham, scheduled for December 17, 2010. Station even created 26 promos for the show that were aired almost every day. Finally on December 17, long awaited special “Rendlesham Revealed” was aired. Mark Murphy proposed a theory that on a first night of the incident, dummy Apollo Capsule was allegedly dropped in the forest by a helicopter from 67th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron based at RAF Woodbridge. “Third night” is explained with helicopter’s return because soldiers decided to pick the capsule back. Theory is proposed as a solution for the whole incident. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for BBC, story about Rendlesham was not over. As the end of December was approaching, new event appeared as a news item. 30th Anniversary conference known as “Rendlesham Reunion” was scheduled on 28th December 2010 at Community Hall in Woodbridge, Suffolk with primary witnesses Jim Penniston and John Burroughs. The event itself opened up a new cycle of local news so BBC Suffolk had to report on Rendlesham again.

One day before the conference - 27th December 2010 - BBC Suffolk decided to air highlights from Rendlesham Special that already aired on 17th December (show with proposed theory of dummy Apollo capsule). But on 28th December, Mark Murphy visited himself the Rendlesham Reunion event where he interviewed John Burroughs and prepared new radio piece for his show on 29th December. Mark asked him about Apollo capsule theory and Burroughs gave this reply:

Burroughs: “The fact that the airfield was shut down, the fact that you would hear helicopter lift off, we would know for helicopter lift off, I can honestly tell you straight up there was no helicopter activity. Now, on the third night with colonel Halt, because I came out after it already started, I can’t tell what was going on the airfield but I did not hear any helicopters at any time.”

At the end Mark Murphy gave this comment on his show on 29th December:

“…So you know, they are keen 30 years on to say 'Look I am sorry but this is what happened'…So the truth may still be out there, maybe we find it, maybe we haven’t, we’ll have to do Rendlesham Revealed Revisited part 2 at some point I suspect…Jim Penniston…claims that he and…who I am to argue, I wasn’t there…claims (Penniston) that he touched the craft…”

Aftermath of the Rendlesham Reunion event:
- Woodbridge Community Hall was packed with more then 400 people
- Rendlesham Reunion event raised more then 2000 pounds for a noble cause - Treehouse Appeal is a project to build new hospice in Ipswich for life-threatened children and their families in Suffolk & North Essex (for more info download 4th part with promos and bonus material about Treehouse Appeal).

I have decided to split the project in 4 parts. Those are the description of those parts where you can find those interviews and clips (download links at the top of this post):
