Yahoo News American commander says men ‘may have been abducted’ in UFO encounter known as Britain’s Roswell
In 1980, U.S. Army personnel stationed near Rendlesham in Suffolk saw a strange, metallic triangle which was ‘dripping molten metal’ – and witnessed a light like a ‘huge red eye’.
The Rendlesham Forest Incident – described as ‘Britain’s Roswell’ – still fascinates UFO fans, two decades on.
New video footage released by The Sun shows retired Colonel Charles Halt, a senior commander at the base, saying that air force men ‘may have been abducted’ and were ‘unaccounted for’ for hours.
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? Were the US airmen who saw the UFO fooled by the light from a nearby lighthouse? Was it a smokescreen to hide a nuclear incident or some other type of covert operation?’
