January 1, 2011 Woodbridge, Suffolk, England - On the evening of Tuesday,December 28, 2010, there was a gathering of some 400 people in the WoodbridgeCommunity Hall on the 30th anniversary of aerial lights, beams and craft of unknown originreported after midnight on three consecutive early mornings of December 26, 27 and 28,1980, at the then joint U. K. and American RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge air base. This30th anniversary event was organized by Suffolk County resident Gordon Goodger to raisemoney for the U. K. TreeHouse national charity for autistic children and their families.Speakers included Nick Pope, who once was in charge of the U. K. Ministry of DefenceUFO desk; Earthfiles Reporter and Editor Linda Moulton Howe; and Left At East Gateco-author Peter Robbins.

The main speakers returning to Woodbridge and Rendlesham Forest for the first timetogether since December 26, 1980, were former USAF Airman 1st Class John Burroughsand former USAF Staff Sergeant James Penniston. An American television crew followedthem for a possible 2011 TV special about the RAF Bentwaters mystery.

Forest since December 26, 1980. Image © 2010 by Linda Moulton Howe.

Thirty years ago on December 26, 1980, around 3 AM, USAF Airman 1st Class JohnBurroughs, USAF Staff Sergeant James Penniston and USAF Airman Ed Cabansag were inRendlesham Forest under orders to investigate highly strange and colorful aerial lights.According to signed and dated statements at the time, John Burroughs and Jim Pennistoncame close to the lights and a triangular craft on the forest floor that Jim Pennistondescribes approaching and touching its black, glassy surface. As his fingers went over raisedsymbols “like Braille” in a 3.5 foot long section of the craft, S/Sgt. Penniston's mind wastelepathically flooded with binary code and some information about the intelligence behindthe craft and lights.

Airman John Burroughs did not remember the craft or S/Sgt Penniston touching symbols.

Burroughs has never been able to fully recall what happened to him that night, but therumors have long been that he “jumped up on” a craft in the forest or was taken up in abeam of light.

At the time, USAF Airman 1st Class Richard Bertolino remembers being on Bunker Hill atRAF Bentwaters that night listening to S/Sgt. Penniston in their radio channels describe the“woods are all lit up” and Airman Bertolino could see a large, football field-sized dome oflight in Rendlesham Forest.

Richard Bertolino, 091509 Earthfiles: “I hear him (Sgt. Penniston) and hewas taking control and he was doing all the transmissions to Central SecurityControl (CSC). As they were going into the woods, I’ll never forget the onetransmission that first made my hair stand up and it still does to this day. Youcould hear a little heavy breathing as he was walking through the woods.Penniston says, ‘Security Control, the object is about 150 feet in front of us.’And then it was just a matter of a couple of seconds and he (Penniston) comesback on the radio and his breathing is a little heavier and he asks, ‘Security, doyou copy that the object is behind us now?’ And that’s one I’ll never forget!

We relayed some of the transmissions from Bunker Hill until Penniston leftCabansag behind to do a (radio relay). We had a great triangulation being on thehill to them in the Rendlesham woods to the object and to Security Control. ...They still had their same radios, but we could no longer pick up transmissionsafter we had been out there for about 45 minutes to an hour.”

Where Was the December 26, 1980, Encounter?

On Christmas morning, December 25, 2010, I joined John and Jim returning to RendleshamForest for the first time together since 1980. We drove from the East Gate down the sameroad they traveled thirty years ago. The question for both of them was exactly where didthey have their closest encounter with the lights and why don't they remember the samedetails?

East Gate road towards Rendlesham Forest.

Over the three decades since the Rendlesham Forest phenomena, various maps and siteshave circulated, including the one below produced from statements by Jim Penniston aboutwhere he and John Burroughs and Ed Cabansag had the dramatic December 26, 1980,encounter at 3 AM. This map shows the orange-colored route from the East Gate to a rightturn on a logging road and then a left onto a road through the forest toward an open farmfield where an orange circle marks the alleged site of the encounter.

Older version of Jim Penniston route in orange-color from East Gate to right onlogging road to left on another road (# 8 or # 10) through forest towards the open farm

field. During the December 2010 return to Rendlesham Forest for the first t ime sinceDecember 26, 1980, John Burroughs felt that the orange dot in the above map was not

correct, but should be further south near the finger of trees that juts westerlyinto the field. Map by John Rackham, U. K.

After walking through the forest at day and night on December 25-26, 2010, JohnBurroughs did not feel that the site at the center edge of the farmer's field now marked by apicnic table and UFO signs was correct. He remembered that he and Jim Penniston couldonly see the Orford lighthouse light after they moved across a short field and past afarmhouse. At the currently marked site by the picnic table and signs, there is a farm house

straight across the open field. Then there is a second farm house to the right of that one anda third farmhouse at the eastern end of a treeline that extends into a large field. We drove bythe third farmhouse that does have animals. In his memory and December 1980 statement,John Burroughs described hearing a noise “like a woman was screaming.” Jim Pennistonremembers farm yard animal sounds and deer running straight towards him when he andJohn were walking in Rendlesham Forest following the aerial lights towards the open field.

Yellow line on far left identifies first farm house. Orange line identifies larger secondfarm house at eastern end of open field. Half way between the yellow and orange lines on

the horizon is the faint dot of the Orford lighthouse beam that shines once every six seconds asit

rotates. The center white line is the third farm house behind the treeline that juts westerly outinto the field. The blue circle indicates water in the marshy line of trees. T he red circle

is where a TriField meter pegged at its highest reading after midnight on bothDecember 26 and 27, 2010. T ime exposure image © 2010

John Burroughs' Original USAF Statement

John studied his original hand-written statement written soon after the December 26, 1980,Rendlesham Forest incident and decided that we should go back to the logging road and theleft turn toward the farm field and keep going straight to the field as far as we could.

Orford Light House Only Tiny, Intermittent GlowLow On Horizon Between Farm House 1 and 2

The first night we were there, we could see the faint, tiny point of light from the lighthousebeacon pulse once every six seconds low on the eastern horizon opposite the picnic tablesite.

So, John became increasingly certain that he and Jim Penniston must have been further tothe south where the row of trees growing in a watery marsh juts out into the open field.

John and Jim walked together after midnight on December 26, 2010, around the finger oftrees that juts westerly out into the field from the third farmhouse in image above. At thered circle area, the TriField meter. provided by U. K. engineer Winston Keech during our

three nights exploring along the edges of the open field. pegged as high as it would go with aloud noise.

Winston Keech's TriField meter pegged out at maximum highmaking a loud noise on both December 26 and 27, 2010, after midnight

at a site near the end of the grove of trees surrounding a waterymarsh. Both times, John Burroughs was near the meter.

[ Editor's Note: The TriField Natural EM Meter was designed to do fieldmeasurements for special research. It detects changes in extremely weak static(DC or natural) electric and magnetic fields, and signals with both a tone andthe movement of a needle-type gauge if either the electric or magnetic fieldchanges from previous levels. The meter is sensitive to magnetic changes of aslittle as 0.5% of the strength of the Earth's magnetic field, and the tone willsound whether the field increases or decreases. A radio and microwave detectoris also included, which reads radio power directly. Because man-made ACelectric and magnetic fields are very common and could interfere with readingsof static fields, the meter has been designed to ignore AC fields. Normalconstruction materials don't block magnetic fields, so the meter can be placedindoors and will work equally well, and due to the built-in tone, it can be usedin the dark and will sound the tone at whatever level of field the user sets. SeeAlphaLab Inc.]

The next night after midnight on December 27, 2010, I went with John and Winston Keechback to a place near the finger of trees for a night watch with Winston's IR (infrared)cameras and his TriField meter. I videotaped the men in infrared while John and Winstonwalked to the area at the west end of the finger of trees to see if the meter would peg againat the highest level. It did and John thought he saw one or two pale blue lights move in thetrees around the same time.

On December 28, while John, Jim and I were at the Woodbridge Community Hall to speak,Winston Keech returned in his van with IR cameras and the TriField meter for another nightwatch near the finger of trees. This time without John Burroughs, Winston took his meterout to the same spot marked by the red circle where the meter had pegged highest bothDecember 26 and 27 after midnight. But the needle remained calm with little movement.Winston wonders if John's presence is the key to the meter's previous strong readings?
