Files on Rendlesham Forest incident (Britain’s Roswell) destroyed
During 2000 a search by MoD records staff revealed that a collection of Defence Intelligence files covering the period 1980-82 (including on the famous Rendlesham Forest incident) had been destroyed, even though other files from the surrounding years had survived. Records staff could not say when or why files were destroyed as the
destruction certificates themselves were not retained for longer than five years (DEFE 2026 p182). Officials from MoD warned that if what it called this “apparent anomaly in the records” were made public “it could be interpreted to mean that a deliberate attempt had been made to eradicate the records covering this incident”.

One possibility to keep in mind in this case:

According to this report, a whole batch of files have just evaporated. Does this mean that there is some real credance in the incident and that there is a real possibility of ET visitation, or just incompetance?
Personally, I tend to think that they are truly trying to cover this one up.
So sensitive, that some documents may have disappeared?
The fact that nuclear weapons were stored at RAF Bentwaters (in violation of UK/US treaty) makes this a very sensitive issue, especially for the former Deputy Base Commander.

There might have been nuclear weapons stored on that base.
However, I've not seen any official admission of this, and my understanding is that this isn't something that they would want to declassify since it would have been a treaty violation:

I wouldn't rule out the possibility. I don't know if it's really a "fact" that nukes were stored there, but a lot of people seem to think so.
