LONDON - The deputy commander of a U.S. Air Force base in England
was baffled by what he'd seen: bright, pulsing lights in the night
sky.
Britain's defense ministry couldn't explain it either, but
concluded that the unidentified flying object posed no threat.
The National Archives on Monday released the government's
complete file on the "Rendlesham Forest Incident" of December 1980,
one of Britain's most famous UFO sightings.
It was among more than 4,000 pages posted online today
documenting 800 alleged encounters during the 1980s and 1990s. Over
the past three years the Ministry of Defense has been gradually
releasing previously secret UFO papers after facing Freedom of
Information demands.
