They can't land because they're afraid of being hijacked by Asylum seekers! :shock:

Very interesting. It certainly conforms to the most frequent type of description given by people who claim to have seen an unidentified flying object.

They usually look like flying hubcaps, don't they?

(Checkout 'Plan 9 from Outer Space').

Rendlesham Forest Incident
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

The Rendlesham Forest Incident is the name given to a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights and objects in the sky and the alleged landing of an extraterrestrial spacecraft, which all took place in December 1980, in the vicinity of Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England. Along with the Berwyn Mountain Incident, it is perhaps the most famous UFO event to have happened in Britain, ranking amongst the best-known UFO events worldwide. It has been compared to the Roswell UFO incident in the United States and is, amongst Americans, commonly referred to as "Britain's Roswell" or the "English Roswell".

Like the Roswell incident, it occurred in the proximity of two military bases, RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters (now abandoned), which were being used by the United States Air Force (USAF), eight miles (13 km) outside Ipswich, Suffolk. At the time these USAF/RAF NATO bases were under the command of Major General Gordon E. Williams (ret.) and under the Deputy Base Commander Colonel Charles I Halt.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident occurred over a three-day span, which is now accepted to be from 26 December - 28 December 1980. Some of the evidence contradicts these dates, which has led to some confusion, as explained below.

The incident involved the reported sighting, by a number of people, of mysterious moving lights and a conical metal craft which apparently landed in the forest. As well as the accounts of the object itself, unusual levels of radiation were measured at the supposed landing site. Some believe that alien beings were seen by witnesses.

Sceptics dismiss the more extreme claims and offer rational explanations of the observed phenomena: for instance they claim that the observed lights were caused by the beam from a nearby lighthouse. Believers do not accept that the sceptics can adequately refute eyewitness, documentary and radiological evidence.

Following the event, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) denied that it posed any threat to national security and that it was thus never investigated as a security matter. However, later evidence indicated that there was a substantial MoD file on the subject and this has led to claims of a cover-up. Some have interpreted this as part of a larger pattern of suppression of information in regard to UFO/Alien existence/knowledge by both the US and UK Governments (see the UFO conspiracy theory).

The Rendlesham Forest Incident has been the subject of a number of books and documentaries.

You Can't Tell the People
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

You Can't Tell The People is a book by Georgina Bruni and is classed as the definitive Account of the Rendlesham Forest UFO Mystery, most commonly referred to as the Rendlesham Forest Incident. It was published in hardback by Sidgwick & Jackson in November 2000, and in paperback by Pan Macmillan in November 2001. The book has spawned several TV documentaries and numerous press articles.

The book has a forward written by Nick Pope. Nick Pope also states that "There are several books on the incident, the best known of which is You Can't Tell the People, authored by... Georgina Bruni." [1]

Margaret Thatcher, who was the Prime Minister at the time of the events, told the author in 1997 that she can’t tell the people about UFOs, but Bruni went on to investigate Britain’s most famous UFO case and her book reveals the story of the incident, the aftermath and the cover-up. In 1997, Bruni met with Thatcher and talked about Rendlesham, Thatcher is noted as saying: "UFOs! You must get your facts right and you can't tell the people".

Wikipedia is such a great idea. It is a pity that somebody has abused the concept to post a publicity blurb for their book there, complete with puffs presumably taken from the back cover and quoting a couple of Amazon reviews (probably written by the publisher). Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia, not a free publicity opportuntiy. I will report it to one of the Wikipedia admins.
