It’s one of the most famous incidents in British UFO folklore – an eerie incident in 1980
where two American Army personnel claimed to encounter a strange ‘metallic triangle’ near
Suffolk.
In a new video which surfaced this week on the Sun Online, retired Colonel Charles Halt, a
senior commander at the base, admits that the air force men ‘may have been abducted’ and
says they were ‘unaccounted for’ for hours.
In 1980, U.S. Army personnel stationed near
Rendlesham in Suffolk claim to have seen a strange, metallic triangle which was ‘dripping
molten metal’ – and witnessed a light like a ‘huge red eye’.
Unlike most UFO sightings, it
was documented in voice recordings from senior American soldiers, who also drew
disturbing pictures of the object they saw.
One witness claimed to have telepathically
‘received’ a binary code, which has never been deciphered.

Colonel Charles Halt’s original description read: ‘While in Rendlesham Forest, our security
team observed a light that looked like a large eye, red in colour, moving through the trees.
After a few minutes this object began dripping something that looked like molten metal.’
Sceptics claim that the marks of the UFO’s landing are, in fact, rabbit holes.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said, ‘Even today ufologists
squabble over what really happened at Rendlesham Forest in late December 1980. Did an
alien spaceship land here?
