THE INDEPENDENT WEDNESDAY 4 DECEMBER2D02

If you go down to
the woods today.. .
It is Britain’s most celebrated UFO
encounter:the sighting in 1980
of’alien’ craft in a Suffolk forest.
Now,it has been revealed that the
Government tried to hush up the
affair. So what, asks MARK LUCAS,
really happened in the strange
case ofthe Rendlesham Incident?

renda Butler paused at the
barbed-wire fence separating us from the field
where the spaceship had
landed.It was 2am.In the
gloom I could just see the
outline of the 60-year-old
grandmother and UFO
expert as she watched
her partner,Peter,disappear into the darkness. He had gone in search of Marek,
another ofour party; who had stepped over
the barrier and walked into the field a

minute earlier.
Not longafterward,a lone figure loomed
out of the darkness, stumbling over the
ploughed earth towards us. Peter was
back."It’s your mate," he whispered to me
urgently. "He’s passed out."

Half a mile behind us, down the Forestry
Commission logging-road known as track
10,was RAF Woodbridge. This smaIl Second World War airfield used by the US Air
Force until 1993, hidden in the depths of
Rendiesham Forest, in Suffolk, had been
back in the news recently after two decades
of
with the release of the Ministry of Defence’s Rendlesham Files. Now
available for public inspection, the files
contain information about Britain’s most
celebrated UFO sighting; their release
was followed on Monday by the parliamentary ombudsman’s announcementthat
the MoD had repeatedly suppressed
information aboutwhat had happened in the
forest.Particular secrecy has surrounded
a "restricted file", the contents of which
have been whispered about for years.
Over. three nights around Christmas
1980, it is said, several spaceships visited
the airbase after one of their number ran
into trouble and had to stop and make repairs. What makes the Rendlesham Incident unique is the subsequently released
memorandum from the base’s deputy commander,Lt corCharles to the Ministry
of Defence. In the memo, Halt, who was
later promoted to full
described how
two airmen,investigating strange lights in
the forest)came across a "metallic,glowing
object", which "manoeuvred through the
trees and disappeared", whereupon the
animals on a nearby farm went "into a
frenzy". Two nights later, he reported,the
object returned. Halt was out in the forest
with a patrol when they sawa "red,sun-like
object". After they had followed the light
through the trees, it divided i11to five, and
part of it "beamed down a stream of light
from time to time". Here, at last, was the
evidence thatthe ufologist commmty had
been waiting for: official endorsementofan
extraterrestrial encounter.
On the third night, Halt made atape on
his micro-cassette recorder, covering
several hours on just less than 19 minutes
of tape. The greater part is taken up by

anony.mity

Halt’g patrol of four officers assessing the
site of a suspected landing,checking radiation levels and having trouble with their

electrical equipment.
In the last few minutes of the tape, at
around 2am, the men start to see lights
moving through the trees.Their initial composure suddenly gives way to breathless
panic: "It’s coming this way. It’s definitely
coming this way... There’s something very,
very strange,"says the deputy commander
at one
At 3.15am,the light-show is still going on
as Halt exclaims:"Herehe comesfrom the
south! He’s coming in towards us now!"
Right beside him, another officer says:
"Shit!",and a moment later,beams oflight
start hitting the ground around them.
"This is unreal," Halt gasps.

point.

Almost 22 years have passed since the
Rendlesham Incident,butthe enthusiasm
ofufologists has only intensified in thattime,
with one author caIling the area "BlackHole
DIsneyland",Several books and hundreds
ofwebsites about the events either confirm
Rendlesham’s status in the international
ufologist community as being second only
to Roswell in importance, or debunk the
notion that anything out ofthe ordinary
pened at
The first book to be published, entitled
Skycrash, was co-written by my guide on
the expedition into the forest, Brenda
Butler, who has spent two or three nights
a week outin Rendlesham Forest since the
alleged landing.
I had phoned Butler, who could hardly
be described as a sceptic, in the hope of
discovering more about this tantalising
chapter in the history ofUFO sightings and
official secrecy. But it soon became apparent thatI would need someone to show me
the landmarks in the 3,500-acre forest, so
I asked ifI could accompany her on one of
her sky-watches. As their popularity had
increased,she had had to divide the group
into two parties that patrolled different

lation," she said. One day she was sitting
on top of it when she "lost" four hours, a
phenomenon known as missing time. We
turned down a side-track.After a hundred
yards, Parish led the way into the undergrowth off to the sIde, and we scurried
through, bent over.to avoid low branches,
which we politely warned one another
and only straightening up when we
emerged into a clearing. JIThis",said Butler;
"is Colonel Halt’s landing-place."
We sat in silence, contemplating the
events thattook place there more than two
decades ago:Halt andhis fellow officers had
been taking radiation readings and measuring imprints in the ground when they
suddenly saw a bright light moving near
"Whatcan you feel?" Butler asked.
My new friend Sinski broke the silence.
jlIt’s strong, isn’t it?" he said.
Butler’s dog, Mason, began dashing
around us, growling happily.."He always
goes mad where there’s energy or there’s
been contact," she remarked.(IOnseveral
occasions he’s been chased by strange
lights which engulf him." Her online journal goes into more detail: "Mason had disappeared for several minutes",it states,of
one typical evening,"during the time when
Brenda spoke in an unknown language.He
returned covered in red, green and blue
fibre-optic-type lights,and licked each person,still in the circle, by placing his paws
on their shoulders."
Leaving ColHalt’s place,we returned to
the smallavenue,veering right toward track
12. As we walked in single file along the
narrow pathway,I asked Butler about her
life. She had been a

with her own circle, and had been involved
"in a lot of things paranormal, ghosts,
poltergeists" ever since being contacted by
an alien named Ra when she was five.
"I’ve been abducted on several occasions," she added.Her kidnappers,she had
learnt since undergoing regressive hypnosis) were the "greys" ({classic" small
allens. She now worked in a home forpeople
with learning difficulties.
We came out into a clearing at the edge
of the forest and saw the flash of the
Orfordness lighthouse on the horizon.

I had been fortiJYing myself at a party
when I ran into a hypnopsychotherapist,
Marek Sinski. When the quietly intense 40year-old learnt of my plans, he expressed
a strong desire to come along, too.
We met Butler at midnight beside the
barrier to track 10. Behind ’me was the
perimeter fenceofthe airfield; the disused
runway lights loomed into the night sky.
Ahead,the logging-road stretched awaylike
a canyon, with its black waIls of 70ft-tall
Corsican pines. By the dull glow of a car’s
interior
I could make out the small,
dark woman surrounded by three reguiars
on her sky-watches Terry, Paul and
Jonathan and her partner, Peter Parish.

German shepherd,Mason,
galloped around us, chasing his ball.
As we set offdown track 10on Butler
spoke, in her soft Suffolk accent, of some
of the experiences she had had here,
seeing glowing orbs and meeting extraterrestrials. "Lastyear, the yeti was down
here," she said matter-of-factly, "looking
very, very sad." The yeti, she explained,
had followed the group on many occasions:
"Wehad somepeople from BIackPool down
here, and they also saw him. He freaked
them out, actually."
Butler indicated a drain cover to our
right. "It leads to an underground instal- "This’is Larry Warren’s landing-place,"
Butler declared, Indicating a field. It
was then that Sinski stepped over the
barbed-wire fence and strode purposefully
into the darkness.

Larry Warren’s extraordinary book Left at
East Gate was published.in 1993. The
former airman, a member of the security
forces at RAF Woodbridge, claimed to
have witnessed the overall commander of
the twin-base complex, Squadron.Leader
Gordon Williams, conversing with extraterrestrials. After that, said Warren, a
New Yorker, he was taken to an underground mstallation and introduced to an

clearly struck a chord with Butler:"Little

exclaimed."I’ve seen them myselfl"
"Doyou ever worry thatpeople may think

over onto her partner,who collapsed on top
"We have a
of their companion,
laugh with them," she said.
At 3am,we returned to the Woodbridge
runway lights at track 10. Leaving Butler
deep in conversation about UFO organisations’ finances with the second group,
which had appeared from track I,Sinski and
I walked over to our cars, discussing the
night’s events.There was a hesitancy in his
manner, but finally he leant toward me:
"Somethingvery important happened here
touight,"he told me,though an explanation
would have to wait until morning.
Driving home, I pondered the various
theories that had been used to explain the
incidents,mostly bypeople who weren’t
sent. Georgina Bruni, author of the most
recent book about the events,You Carrt ThU
the People,believes that there were three
nights of activity, with a full-blown close
encounter ofthe third kind.At the other end
ofthe spectrum is Ian Ridpath,editor ofThe
O:ifard Dictionary of Astronomy. In his
view,excited airmen were merely chasing
the beam ofthe Orfordness lighthouse,and
the starlike objects of Halt’s memo "were
just that - stars."

She cheerfully dismissed my suggestion.
"Idon’t care what they think," she replied.
"It’s better than sitting at home drinking
coffee and watching television day in, day
Butiflwas finding things weird,Sinski
was taking to it all like a duck to water.
When Butler’s partner came out of the
field to tell us thatthe psychotherapist had
passed out, ufologists were quickly dispatched to carry him back,but he returned
with them on foot without saying a word,
and in the awkwardness ofthe situation,we
found ourselves moving on.
As we struggled through a dense patch
ofundergrowth,I recalled the 1956Incident
in which up to 18objects apparently combined to form a single radar echo,which was
then clocked, and wiinessed from the air
and on land,doing roughly 12,OOOmph over
the airbase and wondered why UFOs were
rarely seen nowadays.
’’You’rejoking,aren’t you?"Butler asked,
before telling me about her last sighting, ;:"!,,,,,:.-;
less than three weeks previously. Unfortunately,her partner had turned his flashlight
on the spaceship, and it had disappeared.
"I won’t be doing that again," he told
me,sheepishly.
As we headed down track 12, Butier
explained why she had had contact there.
"There’s a portal," she said: "they come i!
through on interdimensional energy." On
occasion,the ETs had pulled her

things in her pockets and hit Parish on the

THEY

SEEM to appear from
nowhere and their origins are
shrouded in mystery are they
hoaxes or are they for real? It was
the riddle of the Nineties and now
a Hollywood blockbuster is set to
start the great crop circle debate off again.
Signs, the new thriller directed by
. M
Night Shyamalan that opened in
America this weekend, has re-ignited
interest in the unexplained phenomenon.
Internet reports suggest that Touchstone
Pictures have commissioned hundreds of
circles to be produced in rural locations
across the world in a marketing ploy for
the film, in which Mel Gibson plays a
Pennsylvania farmer defending his
family from aliens who signal their
arrival with a display of cornfield
For the record, Gibson is not convinced
of
’-. the existence of extraterrestrials but
s fascinated by crop circles. "I’m
mclined to think it’s all kind of a hoax,
something made up for the tourists, but
I’m willing to concede that there’s
.
something you can’t explain with the
board-and-rope theory," he has said.
The "board-and-rope" theory sprang
from British artists Dave Chorley (who
died in 1996) and Douglas Bower, who
are viewed by many crop circle fanatics
as pioneers of the hoax art. They got the
idea from a mysterious reed bed sighted
in 1966 in Queensland, Australia, where
they lived at the time. "It started as a
joke after drinking one night in the pub
in 1978," reveals Bower,"but people’s
reactions encouraged us to perfect the
circles. We’d sneak into farmers’fields,
armed with planks and bits of rope and
string, to create geometric patterns we
had designed the night before."
Bower confirms that he and Chorley
have been responsible for at least 250
circles although he now says he wishes
they’d never started as it has become the
bane of his life. "I’d always been
interested in UFOs, so I thought I’d
make it look like one had landed. But it
all got out of hand," he ruefully explains.
However, there are some,including
eminent biophysicist and crop circle .
investigator Dr William Levengood,who
insist there is "definite proof" that not all
crop circles are hoaxes. The findings of
this revered Michigan-based researcher
over the past two decades remain the
most conclusive with regard to the alien
theory. In 1995 he reported in the Journal
Of Scientific Explorations that he had
found a natural "iron glaze" in Cherhill,
a famous crop circle site in Wiltshire.
"The glaze was composed of meteoritic

GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES: Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix star In the new film Signs

shower in August 1993. It cast
considerable doubt on this being an
artificially prepared formation."
His findings prompted further
scientific research into crop circles.
George Bishop, a journalist.turned-circle
specialist at the Centre for Crop Circle
Studies in London,believes that, despite
the claims of Bower and Chorley, oniy
3.5 per cent of all circles are man.made
and adds that possibly as many as 60 per
cent of crop circles are never discovered.
British researcher Colin Andrews
insists that 20 per cent of all found
circles "defy reasonable explanation",

but this is an estimate without
substantial proof. Andrews conducted a
four-year study in which he measured
the Earth’s magnetic field in and around
crop circles. He asserted that there was
a magnetic flux present in the circles he
researched and claimed they were not
man-made. Andrews also said he was
convinced something unresolved lies
behind the many cases of "anomalous
magnetic phenomena" such as spinning
compass needles inside crop circles,
unusual failures of electronic equipment
and radio frequency interference.
The circles created by the hoaxers are

severely undermining the work being
carried out by the likes of the BLT
(Burke,Levengood and Talbot) crop
circle research team in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, which is dependent on
700 volunteers worldwide.
According to director Nancy Talbot,
"The hoaxers’ work and talk about UFOs
is threatening to deter scientists from
concerning themselves with the circles.
There are clues here that we need to

take seriously."
Colin Andrews is waging his own war
against the hoaxers, having launched a
campaign to hunt them down. His
methods include detective work, site
inspections, physical evidence, aerial
photography, personal experiences
and information from members of the
media who have paid to have artificial
circles created by groups such as tbe
three-strong Circlemakers, who

ru;,e-,’

based in London. Ironically, the
Circlemakers became circle creators
themselves after having pursued a
mission similar to Andrews’s campaign.
Rob Irving,a Circlemaker, says they
were contracted by a daily newspaper to
track down a gang"ofWiltshire hoaxers
.
and expose them.
in the act
"We could never catch them
and they were having far more fun than
we were, so we decided to join them," he
says. Now the Circlemakers run an
award-winning crop circle website
(www.circlemakers.org)complete with a
detailed "How To..." guide and reports of
new sightings around the world.
Creating a formation is at once simple
and deft, depending on the complexity of
the design. The Circlemakers tend to
first set up a central point out of which
their creation evolves. They stick a pole
in the ground and attach a string to it,

the length of which is half the diameter
of the formation. The vortex is created
this way and perfect circles emerge.
The artists measure exactly where each
of them has to start and then work their
way toward each other.
The flattening technique is as follows:
"Place each stem between thumb and
forefinger and stroke until it starts to
bend. When the stems are bent at a right
angle about two inches from thi r base,
place each sheaf at the centre of each
proposed circle. If this service is not
performed, a greater ratio of breakage
vill occur:
"Cerealogists who find a sheaf of
sharply-cut stems vithin the finished
formation tend to see this as a sign of
genuineness," say the Circlemakers.
Once they’ve completed their .
handiwork, the makers justhave to
hope that it gets spotted within a few
