There's no place to escape to. This is the last time on the left
That's when the cannibalism started
I got like an extra runny nose today, I think it's because we're covering a British topic
I think a lot of British people have that nasal drip
It goes all the way back because it's the bad ducks
No, I don't think that's not a stereotype of the British people a runny nose
And they've got a lot of slime behind their Adam's apple
I'm not a doctor in England, so I'm not sure but we'll find out
For a UK tour in September. Can't wait. Yeah, the strange like
Stereotypes you come up with for groups of people
Yeah seems like a vision problem there
The left I am Ben that's Marcus. Hello. We got Henry over in Los Angeles. How you doing, buddy?
I am
178 pounds horny today
I am so excited for this topic. This is this is serious
This is really serious this fucking serious. Okay, I already hear the mocking tone in your voice
I'm not mocking no
I didn't know this is British and as we talked about before the show anything that happens in the UK with the British folks
I take very seriously because they're a serious people. Let's be honest. They sound very intelligent sometimes
They really do so today's topic
You know, I think we're I think we've been doing this podcast long enough to really handle this topic
I really do
It's the Roswell of the UK and it is called
Randall shim Randall shim sounds like a large man who works on a farm if you just take it
You just say it sounds like a man you pay that he takes big boulders out of unusable
Yes, like that's part of what he does and the other thing is sometimes if you're real tired, he'll make love to your wife
Oh, right
He also kind of sounds like someone you say Randall shim and then he's in the middle of taking a dump
And he says whoop and then the dump goes right back into his butt
Put on his trousers
No, actually it's an incredibly compelling UFO case. Yes, I know Randall shim
That's what we're covering today a super as Henry said compelling UFO case. So this is actually I'm very excited
Yeah, the Randall shim forest UFO incident is perhaps the most well-documented credible and impressive collection of UFO sightings in modern times
Over the course of two nights in December of 1980 dozens of US military personnel stationed in Suffolk, England
witnessed intelligently controlled craft in the sky and as if that wasn't enough a
Further two soldiers claim to have come into contact with the craft while it was actually on the ground
So fun
Now the reason why we say this is so credible is because of the people who have come forward in the intervening years to speak about the incident
First let's acknowledge the author of
Encounter at Randall shim our main source for this series
This is definitely the most legit of the books about the Randall shim forest UFO incident because
Nick Pope has spent a long time being very serious
And he wants to make sure that he gets enough of his information in there as possible as tight as possible
But I will say I think there are more
Cuckoo bananas self-published books about the Randall shim forest UFO incident that almost any other
Topic in UFO history because there are many men in this that believe they are the main character
Interesting. All right. Very cool. And of course the Randall shim a lot of times
Well, never mind. I was gonna get a little blue with it. Okay, the rent. Oh, you don't want to go come on
Get a little blue. Come on. It was
Usually late nights man
Incident is when you have sex with a man in the woods. I don't know
I I was gonna get a little blue there, but
I've been talking about the brambles
Okay, well the author of encounter at Randall shim is Henry said is Nick Pope from
1991 to 1994 Pope actually worked for the British Ministry of Defense
Investigating UFOs alien abductions crop circles and all the other weird shit that nobody else wanted to deal with
He took it as a point of pride that he was saddled with the secrets of the UK government
But little did he know the rest of the government viewed him as a diaper boy
The shit they didn't want to deal with but Nick Pope as we have all done many times in the past
I will continue to do you flip and reverse it being like I'll take your poo poo diaper. You call me diaper boy. Guess what?
I'll sit in my shit for 12 hours. I'm great at it. I love it. Absolutely like an angry female astronaut on the way to kill her
The other person involved in this story who has a large amount of credibility is US military colonel Charles Halt
He was the deputy base commander of one of the two military bases involved in the Randall shim forest incident
And has gone on record multiple times as being a skeptic turned believer
Awesome, those are the best when they're skeptical and then they come to believe. Yep J. Ellen Heineck
J. Ellen Heineck was like that Stitten Friedman was like that. Mmm. All of the people that are like the most down-to-earth
Grounded quote-unquote grounded UFO experts in the entire field
Normally, they came at the subject looking to debunk it right now
They found themselves with the overwhelming waves of evidence being like oh well now now
I've actually I am just a ufologist and my family has left
So there are a lot of military people involved here. It's nothing but military is that yes
Is this the I mean obviously that has to make it so that's why it's so credible
I suppose yes, but is this is this does this case involve more military people than any other case that we've covered so far
If from oh so what we've covered. Yes, okay for definite
Besides I'd say the Hudson Valley Triangle which actually got a lot of attention and when we talked about the Phoenix lights briefly
That also got quite a bit of attention
From the military, but this story is that's reason why for me. This is one of the most interesting
Compelling the because of the witnesses involved right these people for the most part their jobs are to observe
Right awesome cool. Yeah, but the fact that it does involve
Almost exclusively military people is what also makes this so frustrating
Yeah, because Pope Halt and the other witnesses to this incident fully admit that they have more
Information than what they're legally allowed to share with the public because a lot of the information surrounding the incident is still
classified
And this is ultimately frustrating because they do know the answers to some of the questions that crop up when it comes to the story
But both the law and their own personal honor
Prevent them from sharing those missing pieces of the puzzle also because Marcus bullets cheat
What should be the opposite that's old Chris Rock bit is that you should make the bullets
Expensive you know what I think they should do instead of making the bullets expensive make them the size of a gun
So some of the questions what were some of the questions like mr. Military, man
Do they have two penises?
To be this is or as a matter of fact that is classified information, but let's just say they don't not have
Which is also wonder why human beings are born with two nostrils
That is not a vagina
Alien I'm a male species the vagina of a man is in the nose
So gross but before we get into the Knights in question
It's important to know exactly how important the area around
Rendlesham forest in England was to both the US military and to the NATO defense system at large
Oh, this to me is the biggest like the biggest ringing bell the biggest swinging tits of this whole story. It's just how
Important these two twin bases were to the US and a UK government
Which is why in and which would come in the second episode the idea that any of this being a prank or any of this being being taken
Very lightly. I think is a ludicrous because this place was highly top secret interesting now. I cannot think about
Thinking about the Liberty Bell, but if it was just to swing intense
They cracked our swing intense and then what a world that would be
Now before this area came to be a home for the US Air Force during the Cold War
This area of Suffolk was home to the discovery of one of the most important military technologies of modern times
Hmm radar. Oh, I didn't know this personally
But radar was actually discovered on accident
Their original aim with the project was to focus radio waves into a death ray
That could shoot German planes out of the sky in the lead-up to World War two. That's fucking sweet
Just up there just been like off what is happening fish my seats
Have I saw if I shouts my pants my sides of my pants? Oh, why is my soul warm?
Oh, I put the seatformers on that must be it. Wait, no, it's a death ray. No
But what they found instead at Bodzie Manor was that those radio waves could be used to detect
Aircraft and once that was discovered the Brits gained a key advantage over the jerry's when the Nazis came flying over the English Channel
Eventually though the radar technology was taken over by us Americans and evolved into a long-distance radar system codenamed
Cobra mist. Yeah, dude. I remember that axe flavor
Cobra mist Cobra mist they got to get more artistically minded people in the military again
You just like walking through the for can you imagine that you're like close a fog roll and then there's thousands of floating snakes
Now all this talk of radar may seem inconsequential at first glance
But when you take a new account that many of the most credible UFO sightings in history have occurred around military bases
Or we're witnessed by military personnel. It starts to make a bit more sense
Now Henry might have a bit of a different opinion here
But I think that if actual nuts and bolts UFOs are coming to visit the earth from wherever
Whether it be another planet or another dimension then it would make the most sense for them to scope out our military
Mm-hmm. I actually have the opposite. I have the totally I have the totally same opinion. I believe though of course because if they
If they are nuts and bolts UFOs, but that's kind of what this episode is a little bit about right especially
Especially episode one of this series is if these are actual crafts that arrive from a different part of the solar system
Or another solar system or for another universe through a wormhole
Why would they not show up and go straight to where our fucking planes are they would show up to where the other things that buzz
Around that do the country because especially what if again one weird alternative theory is that the ships themselves or aliens?
That they're literally going to meet their friends on this planet
They literally show up to see the other top-secret plans. I mean, this is a great Pixar movie. Yeah, it's about
This is just cars, baby
That's that version of the story that they show up because also maybe they're looking to fuck
Maybe some of these things are fucking hot our stealth bomber. That's kind of sexy, right?
You can see like when people fuck objects here and because their wires are criss-crossing there
And for some reason their DNA doesn't want them to breed all over the bridge
What if it's the same thing like that?
UFOs actually can try to breed with our planes that I'm not just saying they're horny for our plane
That's one idea. I have so then I have a more
Woo-ee-woo idea that I'm gonna save. Okay, you have a more woo-ee-woo-ee idea than that these UFOs are trying to have sex with our planes
That's science that's undiscovered science is what I'm I see
I do think it would be cute to see a montage of the UFOs coming down and they're like meeting up around like Epcot Center
And then going on the rides wearing little Mickey Mouse hats and then they're back over at the like let's say like the Port Orleans
And the one jets back on it's like it's got back on there in the UFO pulls out its tube right with this fucking and sticks
It's tube into the the you know like to fill her up got filler up
Opening credits to Dr. Strange love. I don't know
All right
Well the rendle shim forest area makes even more sense once you get to the Cold War
See this area was home to not one but two military bases
Bent waters and Woodbridge and these two bases were separated by a few hundred yards of forest
Rendle shim forest
Cool, and it was thick. Yeah, it was as thick as the bush hairs on a Duke over there
A Duke like a dude like the Duke of York. Yes
They don't landscape no no definitely not it's a point of pride for them to keep that bush hair long and
frustrated
Frustrated bush hair I can't keep on animating inanimate things
I was again thinking about bush hairs all tangled up and be like so how do we get here?
Well bent waters and Woodbridge were both
United States military bases and the Brits have never been all that keen on our decades long military presence in their country
Yeah, according to Nick Pope the post-World War two British joke was that American soldiers were overpaid
over sexed and over here
Meaning England I know
Honestly, okay, I got mad. I just got mad person. Yeah, but you know what the US soldiers that have come back
What was that? This is what they called the Brits quote
Underpaid undissexed and under eyes an hour
To get hammered over in a saloon with those kind of funny guys
I wouldn't even know what military to choose all the humor is so good
My gosh
You're gonna choose Air Force guys. You got to yeah. Yeah. They're very fun surprisingly hammered. Yeah. Yeah
They drink a lot
Do it for our military listeners out there the Navy the Army or the Air Force who drinks the most
We do in crowd work at a USO show
No, we haven't made it yet, but when it came to being stationed at Rendlesham Forest
Americans didn't necessarily enjoy that particular posting because it had a long-standing reputation for being creepy
Sinister and overall just kind of depressing the the forest. Yeah, the forest the whole the whole area of England interesting
I believe the term was East Anglia was where they were at which was this this area of
The United Kingdom was about 60 miles northeast of London on the beach now when you hear this concept of like man
We're stationed on the beach. That's got a fucking killer, you know, right crush it
Natty lights are out there surfing like it's apocalypse now and all the shit, but this was a British beach
Which meant that the sand was gray
I want to say it was filled with eels
Gray as fuck beach that was a purposefully put out into a remote area of the UK where they were not vacationing
Okay, so these guys weren't having a great time out there
They weren't but the Woodbridge and Bintwater's bases were horribly important in a strategic sense
When it came to the Cold War between America and Russia
And for those of you not well-versed in Cold War history when it came to Europe, you had two coalitions
You had NATO led by the United States because we were the only country who weren't blown to hell in World War two
Yeah, yeah, we we did it. We did we were further away than they were
And you had the Warsaw Pact nations controlled by the Soviet Union
Now those Warsaw Pact countries like Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary or Poland decided to follow the orders of the Soviet Union and invade Western Europe by ground
They were going to need backup and that is where Bintwater's and Woodbridge came in
Located on the eastern coast of England both bases were fully stocked with American
A-10 Warthogs
Which could be called in to blow Soviet ground forces to hell from above just like they later did in the Gulf War
Warthog is a very nice name for a large military vehicle horrible name for a high school kid
Horrible name unless again you own it and you're like on the offensive line for the football team
That's what you got to do again always flip it and reverse it. It was actually in an area called Suffolk
It's I think it's around Suffolk
Yeah
I also did think about the Polish. Uh, they're like, oh, it's gonna be a ground war and then just them just driving their planes
Well the Polish also then released their their army of evil toys
It's like an evil jack in the box and a really sharp slinky that comes rolling through the
Which is as a visual is incredible. Yeah. Oh, absolutely is easily destroyed by something the likes of a fire extinguisher
Yeah, that's all right. I'm sure we have like a Polish scientist who listens to us and really doesn't like being
So with Polish people are very smart too. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, we can be yeah. Yeah, we really can be we're very able people
We're survivors. Yeah, that's what we are. Yeah, like Beyonce. Yeah, of course. Yeah
I always think of Beyonce and then immediately the Polish just put my butt next to Beyonce's and you see the true meaning of being Polish
But the bent waters and wood bridge bases may have been hiding something much more powerful than mere warthogs
See, it is the policy of the United Kingdom to neither confirm nor deny allegations as to where nuclear weapons were stored in country
And that was definitely the case when it came to the question of nuclear weapons at Rendlesham
But listen to this quote from Lord Peter Hill Norton a former UK chief defense staff and chair
Of the NATO military committee. This is what he wrote concerning the Rendlesham incident
All right, my position both privately and publicly expressed over the last dozen years or more
as that there are only two possibilities either a
An intrusion into our airspace and a landing by unidentified craft took place at Rendlesham as described
or b
The deputy commander of an operational nuclear armed us air force base in England in a large number of his enlisted men
All right, either hallucinating or lying
But basically what he is saying is is this place was a little bit more important than anybody would like to let on
Because it might have held a cache of over 500 nuclear bombs that we're going to be our first wave attack against the Soviets
So the idea that these people on this base right either one of these base or a bunch of yahoos
Is is like it's highly slim to none. So by this slip of the hand and from evidence we'll cover later
We can infer that they're most likely were indeed
large amounts of nuclear weapons at either wood bridge bent waters or both cool
And that brings us to another point about the locations of UFO sightings and why they appear in the places that they do
Now some people posit that it is not a coincidence that the UFO sighting explosion
Coincided with the splitting of the atom. Huh?
The hypothesis is that when humanity discovered nuclear energy
We entered a higher echelon of scientific knowledge and therefore merited more attention
Just like humans would pay more attention to monkeys if they suddenly learned how to drive
I think we've actually talked about monkey uber before I swear to god we have I'm pretty certain we have
Yes
It's true. Yeah, you showed up
a tube driver just a monkey in there and he's like
Like points to the back of the car, you know, I'd be like
I don't even even go anywhere. Just cruise
Just ride my man. He's gonna put on the radio. I'm gonna sit in the front seat
I'm gonna share my you mean ever gonna hit a vape together and just have a fun afternoon
Absolutely
That's been the ongoing theory his reason why UFO sightings have shot up since the 1940s is that when we split the atom
Right now realize that we can start to manipulate our
environment on a quantum level that that's kind of the first steps
towards
A essentially cosmic travel towards true understanding of the nature of reality all yada yada yada
And also, um, they know for a fact that we're a bunch of really angry territory obsessed monkeys
And that we will probably destroy ourselves before achieving anything the likes that they have achieved
Right. This is all again. This is fully nuts and bolts UFO ship, which I'm not fully sold on
But I also this is the idea that if they they them showing up as our intergalactic baby setters
And maybe a correlation between all the video footage right in the advancement of technology and stuff like that also
Maybe perhaps possibly but the the the the biggest sighting like the
Largest swaths of sightings
Happened before video technology really became
Uh as ubiquitous as it is now. Cool. And you say how convenient
But partially it's also maybe because of that fact. Yeah, I do not want to be videotaped
Okay
Now the skeptics say that when we split the atom it just opened our imagination to new and more terrifying
possibilities
And that combined with cold war paranoia produced the large number of sightings seen in the 50s onward
Essentially said our imaginations just kind of ran away from us sure or and that feeds into my psychic principle
Which is the idea that we helped create them because it did expand our imagination
It's supposed to expand our imagination. That's what it did and that's actually going to help us in the long run
Yeah, and granted most UFO sightings are definitely either misidentifications or outright lies
But that doesn't explain why UFOs are drawn to places either housing nuclear weapons or places powered by nuclear energy
Nor does it explain why these sightings are so goddamn dramatic
This is another reason that we should invest in nuclear energy in order to avoid foreign wars and protect our environment
We could have UFOs overhead constantly and that would be so fun
Yeah, man
We just put a couple of naked girls out there a couple of naked dudes
See what they choose man just out there just like dancing around the nuclear bombs
UFOs dancing back and forth. You got some fucking dj jazzy jeff going man. That's just the middle
That's just the end of the first act of independence day. I want that
What if it's real? What if that was real?
It was a unique idea, I guess
We've covered one of these nuclear buzzes briefly in the past during the Hudson Valley UFO incident in 1984
A gigantic diamond-shaped UFO swooped the indian point nuclear power plant near peak skill new york
For about 15 minutes hovering above the exhaust funnel of one of the plant's three reactors and according to employees who later talked
the plant's security systems and communication systems
All shut down for the time that the ufo was above it
It's crazy
But right before security guards opened fire with fucking shotguns of all weapons
The most useless possible long-range weapon you could find it didn't even kill dick chaney's friend
It didn't even kill me. I got shot with a shotgun when I was like 10 and it was from so far
Definitely closer than the ufo was. Hey, buddy. I know I'm playing division two
I accidentally switched to my sniper rifle with a shotgun
Horrible decision immediately dead, but I just love the immediate power of a shotgun
It's why I also like crossbows like it on your hip and just fucking blam and things explode man. It's fucking awesome
True
But anyway when that right before they were about to open fire the ufo flew away and everything returned to normal. Okay. Bye. Bye nerd
And this hadn't been the first time something like this happened on us soil in 1973
A large glowing object was seen hovering above the monzano nuclear weapons inspection facility in new mexico
A book to read is called need to know by timothy good that has an incredible breakdown of military ufo sightings over the last
50 years and this is what that is
That's just a little snippet of this fucking glowing object that showed up
And and it just it hovers it showed up and they watched at zappa beam where the weapons were the same thing of the several icb icbm
Tours they talked about the original testings of several icbms
They would shoot up the icbm and then a fucking spear would catch up to speed next to it
Do a perfect circle around it and each cardinal point on the compass it flashes white
icbm falls out of the sky that's crazy
And then about two years after the monzano incident a sergeant named charles l moody
Claimed to have been abducted from hollum and air force base in alamogordo, new mexico
Where he got rotted by a bunch of thin lipped grays
Well, it could have been the russians
It could have been the russians
But you but honestly for that for that story you should really read the need to know timothy a good story because it's a really good abduction
Mini chapter. Okay, cool. Yeah, and those incidents don't even cover
Like henry said the dozens of low-level intrusions over intercontinental ballistic missile bases
Now what you might be asking here though? Why?
Does this seem to happen mostly to americans? Right?
Huh even rendelship to bring it back to our original subject happened to americans near american military bases
Despite the location of said bases being on british soil
Now the more cynical might say that americans are just a gullible people or at the very least more fanciful
Okay, could be and granted we can be we can be a very very gullible people
Yeah, kind of and our imaginations can run away with us. That's why we produce some of the best entertainment in the world
Absolutely. That's what we're good at. Yeah. Yeah, we make the best. We make the best entertainment in the world
And um, sometimes we make massive mistakes when it comes to governing governing the country
I mean we just do massive horrible things. Yeah, we followed our imagination. Yeah, but
It could also be that whatever it is that controls these ufo's is more interested in us
Because we were the first ones to split the fucking atom
USA! USA! USA! We stole it from the germans. USA! USA!
No, we did not. We did not! No, we did not. We got help. We got help from the germans
But that's uh, and you know, and I did think about that because it's the aliens aren't gonna be paying attention
To individual tiny little things. They're gonna be paying attention to which government produced it. Nice. And that
That makes americans both the most innovative
And the most dangerous creatures on earth
Whip crack whip crack. Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean they were definitely germans involved in it
But mostly it was the germans that took us to the moon by the time the germans got over here
Uh, world war two was already done. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thanks for taking us to the moon anyway
Thank you. Mr. Von Braun. Yeah, if it calls on some moon, there is no juice. Oh, that's not right. What was that?
What was that? The director of the NASA? Nassink?
You're lucky we're good at forgetting. Also, I'm fairly certain there's some anti-semitic websites who believe that uh,
Jewish individuals come from the moon. It's very interesting. So I don't know if that's... It's like all nonsense is nonsense.
Right. And it also might not be a coincidence that New Mexico seems to be lousy with UFO sightings and abductions
Because New Mexico was the site of the very first atomic bomb detonation that trinity blast. Oh
Yeah, I really love detective comics marcus parks. That's my favorite is when he actually does like because it's true
I honestly this really does again. It's interesting. We're really laying out the the yellow bricks of the nuts and bolts
UFO road, right? This is the this is the these are what the the core beliefs are if that's the
Nature of the phenomenon. All right, cool. So with that in mind
Let's get into the stories of the sightings at Rendlesham forest and before we do it real quick
I know we have a lot of Rendlesham heads out there that are listening to the show
Just no what we're trying to do here is we're going to lay out the facts as we know from penis and snow book
And the because if you don't know then all of this is fucking garbage to you penis and snow smoke and halts recordings
We're going to all of this but know that there are many side quests
Yes in this little story that we will be covering in next episode. All right. Yeah
Now while a lot of people witness UFOs in the skies on those two nights
There are two dudes who actually saw this thing up close John Burroughs and Jim peniston
Both solid career air force men at the time of the sighting
John Burroughs was an airman first class and eventually served in the air force for 27 years
Peniston was a senior security officer in charge of day-to-day base security
Responsible for the war fighting resources on the base. These guys were not low level grunts. They were not
Wow, jeep drivers. These guys were in charge of some big top level shit
So on the night of December 26th, 1980
John Burroughs saw strange red and blue lights in Rendlesham forest outside the walls of the base
While patrolling the east gate of woodbridge
Now this is fucking creepy because Rendlesham forest is thick as shit. And so they're just out there if it's cold as fuck
It's Christmas everybody all the regular maintenance people are off, right?
So the the the bases are half full and they're just out there waiting
And they just see like these fucking two ghostly lights just out in the fucking forest and they have to fucking call it
That's awesome. Okay. Now considering how the lights were on top of each other and were flashing on and off
It was thought that it was possible that an aircraft had crashed out in the forest
So the report was run through the proper channels. It first went to staff sergeant bud Stephens
Yeah
I can't get hard, but my hands are hard
Bud Stephens contacted sergeant crash macaib
Bud and crash are they a tag team? I literally cannot drive 55
Unfortunately to me because I have met my lots of taken away from me due to the nature of my drinking problems
Oh, okay still still can fly though. That's good and crash macaib
Got to hold a staff sergeant john coffee. Okay like the drink
But not spelled the same
And john coffee ran it up to the on duty flight chief at woodbridge
Staff sergeant jim peniston. All right
Now it's important for you to know that because that's what's hard
With all of these books, especially with encountered rendition for us is that they really try to
Dot the eyes across the t's of every single bit of the military data
So that you can know as a true ufo nerd that they have made sure that they
They documented every single bit of the communication because this is how many people have to go through just to go check out these lights
Right. Okay. They have to okay it with everybody. Yeah
And that's when peniston figured he'd better check on this thing himself
So peniston headed out to the east gate with his driver airman first class
Edward cabinsag
But he's like that's like uh, I don't know how to pronounce that name. I think it's because I believe it's tie
Yeah, cabin cabinsag cabinsug cabonsig. All right. All right. It's cabinsag
I like it. Yeah, but when they got there
Bud Stephens made a strange remark about the light
He's so they've arrived at the light at it. No, they've arrived at the east gate at the east gate
Okay, they just watch these lights there. They've been watching it for a small period of time. Okay. See yeah, and I don't know why I turned into spanish
Yes, I I've been watching um highly questionable on espn and it's a they say see or no
Bud Stephens made this remark. He said quote
It didn't crash
It landed. Yeah. Oh my god. This is like a movie. Yeah
And at the same time somebody over in the control tower checked the radar and placed calls to other air force bases in the area
In addition to Heathrow airport in london about a hundred miles away to find out if they saw anything
Turned out a bogey had been tracked about 15 minutes before the lights out in the forest were seen
But the target had disappeared from radar screens
Directly over woodbridge. Whoa
It showed up on the radar
And the first thing they saw was a cigar smoke and then it said verbatim. It's looking at you kid
And then it disappeared
That's bogey
Humphrey bow guard Humphrey Humphrey bow guard. I mean, it's another it's another joke that no one will get
I mean, we didn't even get it. Yeah, but I like it. I mean, I also like it. I paused
Yeah to go through
What it could possibly be. Yeah, and then eventually realized that it's a joke that ed asner would have made
Yeah
Yeah, he's he's one of the good ones an unidentified radio object. Okay, very cool. All right. God. Love it. Here's looking at you bogey
And so with that in mind
Peniston burrows and another guy named master sergeant chandler
Started to make their way into the forest to see what they could see while the driver
Cabin sag hung back did chandler bring his duck
Look
I'm full of jokes
Today, I don't know. I don't even know what I don't know what that's friends a friend's reference ben is full of beans today
I'm full of beans today. I mean, I'm gonna get some hate mail for this
But as they were approaching the lights in the forest all four of their radios
Started a malfunction as if something was interfering with their communications
So in order to relay messages back to the base chandler returned to cabin sag at the jeep
Huh, so now it was down to just burrows and peniston. Okay
They walked further into the dark forest towards the light coming through the trees
But they said the air changed as they drew closer
They said it felt as if the air was crackling with static electricity and the hairs on their arms were standing on end
Then it became difficult to walk normally because their legs felt like they were wading through deep water
Wow, I watched a slide presentation of jim peniston from 2019 because he has a new book coming out called the rendelsham enigma
And he I was watching this presentation of his but he was talking about and he tried to show
He's like an all show you're out now
It was difficult for me to walk
It was like walking through soup and he tried to show he's like because it's not like now
How I can lift my knees and he lifted his leg up maybe an inch
It's like it was difficult for me to lift my knees and they could see I was struggling wading through the soup
Interesting, but now they weren't walking through water. They weren't walking through anything. It was just normal ground
Just walking through the forest. Wow
Then finally they came to the source of light in a small clearing
When they walked towards the object. They said they were blinded by a silent sudden
explosion of light
Both men instinctively hit the ground, but when they felt no debris and heard no debris falling they stood back up
By the reports of jim peniston
They were faced with a small triangular metal craft about nine feet tall by nine feet wide
Resting on three legs kind of like how the lunar landing module looked cool
And the way they described it is it had rounded edges, right?
It had this and he said he's it had a dorsal fin and it had two wings
And he looked at it
He said what the one of the weirdest things about it is that it was coursing with what he called globular light
He said it's the only way to make he's trying to describe what it looked like
He said
The closest that you could call it is like a lava lamp
Was that the the actual
Outsides of it had the blue and red and yellow
Like kind of floating through it like it was a glass filled with liquid
Was it tangible the was the was it actually a tangible light? Okay, we'll get into that
Now on the side was a bank of blue lights and on top was a bright white light
But as we hear again and again with ufo sightings it made no sound whatsoever
But peniston was curious so we walked closer
When retelling the story peniston refers to the area immediately around the ufo as the bubble field
He said that once he entered it all ambient noise
Sees to exist as if the air around him was dead and the static electricity got stronger
He said he tried to turn and yell for john burrows who was only about 10 feet behind him
But he found that john was standing motionless and didn't react to his calls in any way whatsoever
Straight up burrows was just standing and staring at this object as the lights were bouncing off of him
Peniston turns back and he says the only way to describe it is that he felt the thing calm down
Like it was the light slowed until it became a black object
And now what he said in his mind at the time was that i'm just about to die
This is a weapon whatever this is he's like this is obviously not a crash
He calls in he have to change the parameters to helping hands and the term helping hands
Over at that time period, which is there's something that is about to affect the safety and the uh
I believe the working quality of the base something that term where's like this is going to fuck us up
This is a weapon, but he wasn't sure if the radio was getting through
So he pulled out his notebook and started making notes and then approached the vehicle because he was like if i'm gonna die
I need to document this
Helping hands also sounds like the off menu at a massage parlor
Like all of the helping hands please
So once peniston got near the object he saw strange symbols etched on the side, which were totally
Unrecognizable apart from a passing resemblance to egyptian hieroglyphs. Wow cool
He said he felt relieved when he saw the symbols because he's like, okay. This is something
Yeah, for now. I think for a second. He's like i'm going insane. Right. They saw the symbols. He's like
All right now this has to come from somewhere then. Yeah, right and it's also not a bomb if they put symbols on the side
You should look at did you see any of these symbols kissle? No, I actually didn't see any of those
It's pretty fucking cool. Awesome. I mean it's alien writing. That's so cool
Yeah, then peniston decided to actually touch the damn thing
He said the surface felt hard and smooth like running your hand over glass, but the symbols were rough like sandpaper
But when peniston touched the symbols the white light on top of the craft became so bright
That peniston was temporarily blinded and when he took his hand back the light dimmed once more cool
Then peniston just kind of stood there for a while like taking it all in making sketches doing sketches of fucking everything
Like trying to document what was happening by then he realized that he wasn't gonna die
Yeah, all right. Well, I'm not gonna die. So now I really have to do it
So he paced the whole thing he's just like he does his whole like tall man math where he was like
I'm six foot three. I've got a three and a half foot stride
I did three strides each. That's as exact as it gets folks and the whole moof on audience is like
Yes, so he literally set up an easel put up a little canvas and started painting like bob ross
Yeah, just trying to see like he had a little uh police notebook that he carried around with him always and he was like
Yeah, and a pencil and he just sketched all of it down interesting and finally though the craft slowly began to lift off the ground
And everything felt as if it was moving in slow motion
Then after about two to three minutes the craft finally rose above the trees
Then once it had cleared the trees without making any sound whatsoever
It flew away at an impossible speed. In fact, this is the note peniston made in his notebook quote
spade
Impossible impossible speed
I mean that's speed four. That's a great name for the movie. Yeah, that's awesome. Impossible speeds. No speed
Impossible. Oh, I like that very cool. But here's the strange thing
Remember john burrows was standing only 10 feet behind jim peniston
But he remembers the incident
Completely differently although he so maintains that he saw something
Burrows claimed that after the initial blinding flash of light came he hit the ground
And saw a red oval sun-like object in the clearing. He saw no craft whatsoever
Huh?
And instead of the close encounters experience had by peniston burrows said his experience lasted only a few seconds
Strange or at least that's what he claimed later. Oh, yeah
No, when he gave his original statement about the incident 72 hours afterward
He included a sketch of the craft that looked a hell of a lot like penistons. So he was sketching also from his
Recollection okay from his memory. Oh, I see from his memory. Okay. Now, although he may have just been going along to get along
Which is difficult because peniston which we'll talk about peniston took full weight of talking to the superiors
Okay, so he said when they were all freaking out afterwards, they were all like, what are we going to say to our bosses?
And he's like you're not going to say anything. I'm going to say something
Okay, he he went forward and it took all the blame
So I don't know if going along to get along even works for that because he already was to blame
Like they were they were they were on peniston. They didn't need to back them up. But what's he being blamed for?
Just just just seeing some of them crazy, right? Right. Sure. But this this story it's it's very very interesting
We'll talk about this. This is where it gets woo-wee-woo. Okay, we're steady being like what happens if our brain is an operating system
And an entity is like a program that shows up in front of you
What if it's like a thing and that you?
Interpret it the way you interpret it and everybody's seeing shit and feelings. Yeah, couldn't I I mean I could see my brain
Just totally shutting down
Yeah, like when you see something that like what oftentimes they say when you have an extreme trauma
Like when your bone pops through the skin like what happened with paul george
You your brain literally shuts off and you're like you can't remember this because this really is too much for you to handle shock
shock yeah
Yeah, absolutely shock and you know and to take it even further
With what hinting shit about the operating system, you know if our brain is an operating system and these things are programs
You know, you can't run say a mac program on a pc can't run a pc program on a mac
So some brains are able to run these programs
Others are not interesting and there's obviously a last podcast theory and another people's theories as well
Of the that believe this about the psychic nature of ufo's so take that as you will
Oh, yeah, I mean, I know there are gonna be people that are gonna roll their eyes and say
Whatever about the operating system conversations
Yeah, they're plenty of people out there that are just just fine with believe in the humans or just a bunch of walking
Shitbags walking around
Oh
Plenty of people say oh just do just had just let's just talk about killing people and all that but you know what some of us
Like to be curious about the mysteries of the universe very good
Some of us think that there might be a little bit more out there. I don't know why I don't know why you guys have made yourself defensive
Because there is no one listening nor out there that is just like we're we better go give these guys a wedgie immediately
It is a disease that ufologists get
You just become you just slowly no matter it's like you talking to conversational tone on all of a sudden it says you think you know me
I think what it comes from is you know because I like to look at both sides
And I type in the incident and then I type in skeptic and the people who write
Skeptical responses to UFO incidents
Are the snoddiest people on earth?
And because they always they're very
Fond of the phrase so much for that
No, no, no, but that's physically snot
not emotionally snot
Well either way depending on you know, but no matter what penitents are what borough saw
Both men said that they saw a light above them after the flash
Flying around and it eventually flew away over the coast out east
Then they looked down at the ground and found that there were three
indentations where the craft had been
Now remember this was december so the ground was frozen solid
But the indentations were deep enough where it was obvious something very heavy had been resting there
And those three indentations formed a near perfect equilateral triangle cool
Furthermore branches have been snapped off from the trees on the edges of the clearing where the craft had landed and taken off
Including branches from way up high. Yeah, and there's tree rubbins. Yeah, that's the term I kept seeing was tree rubbins tree rubbins
Tree rubbins. Okay, in other words if they're telling the truth
Some real weird shit had just happened. Yeah
Yeah, but what was really weird was what they discovered when they returned to cabins sag and shandler
By the reckoning of boroughs peniston and their watches
They'd only been out of radio contact for five maybe ten minutes
But in reality they'd been gone
45 minutes. Whoa
And what was more both of their watches were running 45 minutes slow
Oh, yep, that is great. So we have lost time. We have lost time and not just lost time
But time that is manipulated mechanics
What so we have the actual touching of a spacecraft scene of a spacecraft drawings of a spacecraft lost time
I mean, this is this is pretty much everything you need. This is what we love. Yeah
This is why we're covering this case
It literally this is this is the this was the weirdest shit because they came back just being like
Why are you like acting like they were literally just sitting in the truck like they had been gone for 45 minutes
They're like we just left and they're like no you were gone for almost an hour. Wow
Yeah, and they'd also been calling back to the base and because the base was checking up on them and saying like
Where the hell are these guys and they say they're in current investigation
They're trying to push off the bosses
Because the bosses are really like what the fuck's happening because they'd have to scramble more people if there's a real emergency
Right, they died
Right, right and furthermore
When these guys were debriefed they found they weren't the only ones who saw weird shit that night
Now some say the what the witnesses outside of peniston and burrows saw that night was actually the breakup of a russian satellite
Or a meteor shower and both are on record for having occurred that night in the south of england
Well, how would it go back up to into the sky though? Well, that's the thing. It's possible. Yeah
Well, I'm good. I don't know. Huh? It's the thing is that it's possible that that is what some of the people saw
Some of the people who reported seeing things in the sky that night
Probably saw a meteor shower or they saw the breakup of the russian satellite
But that doesn't explain what peniston and burrows experienced right nor does it explain the lights
Inside the forest that they went to go investigate in the first place
Nor does it explain the bogey on the radar and where was lauren bacall?
Well, that's that's a question we could ask every second of every day
But no, it's it it is it's interesting
Yeah
Part of it comes from the
Misdating that peniston did on his notebook and he said there was a true mistake
An other say was purposeful
Uh, he was lying saying that he was essentially lying about the entire thing, which is weird
But I feel like maybe it might have been a mistake. I don't know
But that's because they on the night in question the 26th is the night all this happening was when these two other
Uh aerial phenomena were also happening when at 27th. It was not when it comes to him line
I guess everyone will be like did he make a lot of money? Did he get famous was his career?
And I'm sure we'll cover this but was his career
Helped by this did he make money with this? Or is it like more traditional peniston total?
It's highly embarrassing
Okay, so that kind of debunks the idea that maybe he wanted to benefit from it financially. No, okay
No, and furthermore there was another actual incident that night that wasn't just lights in the sky
Two more personnel reported lights in the forest and when they went out to investigate
A white light heading gulfed their jeep and the jeep completely stalled out and they couldn't get it to start again
Wow
Now what's interesting about this incident is that for jurisdictional and legal reasons
The americans were required to notify british authorities that they were going off base to investigate a possible crash
Interesting. Now. Well, you'd think they'd be calling the british military or some such who they actually called in this situation when they left the base
Was the local cops?
Okay. Yeah, so they're gonna take the billy clubs to it. Yeah
All right, uh local constable. Yeah, exactly
And here's what the local police wrote in their logs as to what happened that night quote
We have had a call from the le at bedwaters in reference to the ufo reported last night
We have found a place where craft of some sort seems to have landed
Oh, I do feel like he's got a little like a napkin
Sound like they're always eating lobster. Yeah or a big bangers and mash. Oh, yeah
Um, I'm actually excited for the uk food. I think I'm gonna do beans this time. Do the fill do the full english
I'm actually gonna do it. Full english is great. Yeah, don't understand it. It's a good way to start your day just full of shit
It's like beans and bread for breakfast triple bees and a tomato and a tomato great
So by the next morning the whole thing had become a bit of a joke on the base already
Yeah, already, of course. Oh, yeah, dude all night because as soon because they were like where were they?
They were out for an hour chasing UFOs. So everybody's fucking flipping out and having a great time about the about the shenanigans
That happened the night before okay, and you gotta remember. I mean, this is 1980 air force base in england
like it is cold war paranoia, so everyone is both on high alert and
extraordinarily bored at the same time right, right, right
And the joke vibe was what colonel charles halt walked into at 5 a.m. When he reported for duty
A sergeant crash mccabe told halt that peniston and burrows have been out chasing UFOs all night
And halt was actually all about playing the whole thing down
He suggested they use the term unexplained lights in the official report instead of saying UFOs because you don't want
Shit to get out of hand right charles halt is a very serious human being at this point in time
He's never smiled in a single picture, right? I've been reading the halt perspective written by charles halt
It's called the halt perspective
It sounds like you lost a job on fox news to bill o'reilly
I'm pitching to show the halt perspective. What is your perspective? I hate my grandson
There's too many starbucks and coffee is too proud and that's the halt perspective
uh, charles halt
Wrote a 500 page entire breakdown of UFOs around the rendition force like he went completely nuts
But it you when you watch when you read this what what happens afterwards?
We'll get into more in the second episode right charles halt believes
He truly is the main player of this entire story. So he but he is also a believer that there was a ufo here
Oh, yeah, he became one interesting. Okay very interesting
Yeah, he became one and even though like kind of the rank and file of the base
They were all treating this as a joke the higher ups were taking it much more seriously really
Almost immediately documents concerning the incident specifically security blotters and incident and complaint reports were polled and classified as secret
By base commander ted conrad. All right
What was weird about this was that it completely bypassed carnal halt carnal halt should have been involved in these sorts of actions
And as far as he was concerned the documents had pretty much been stolen from under his nose
Huh, I can literally just see charles halt who's probably about two inches shorter than me
Just like jumping for files
To like other officers are just throwing above him to each other and leaving and he'd be like
That's not fair. That's not fair
I'm the one that went down there. I want down there and I sold it out for myself
That's how he sounds. It's very strange accent
Maybe he's uh, massachusetts. Perhaps he's a bostonian. Yeah, it sounds like it
Yes, and there was some attempt at investigation
But the problem was that the air force had no standard operating procedure for the investigation of a ufo incursion on or near a military base
That's interesting 1980. I would have thought they would have had some um protocol for unidentified flying objects
We scrapped it in 1969. We stopped officially. We stopped officially investigating
Stop who's swish swish quotation marks swish swish swish. We stopped officially investigating ufo's
Then when we stopped project blue book. So all of those
The standard operating procedures all that shit. It was been thrown out
Because there's not supposed to be standard operating interesting
Now one dude major edward drury thought that the whole thing had been a christmas prank
Oh, man. I love christmas prank. There was one time
My cousin robert did this really funny christmas prank where he was deployed overseas, right?
And he wanted to surprise his family. So he came in and he showed up like he addressed himself in a big box
For christmas like a big bow on top of it and the family was like, you know, my cousins so excited to see him
They didn't know you know, I mean like he was coming home for christmas
And then when he popped out of the box the problem is that he had some kind of like
flashback or something
And he killed his whole family
That was like the craziest christmas prank. That is yeah
I wasn't aware that pranks on christmas was a thing but I was not aware christmas pranks were a thing either
Oh, yeah, man. No, that's you over christmas. All we do is we dress up as saying I break into people's homes
I tell them i'm leaving presents tonight. Just shit. I just shit all over the living room
Right. Yeah, I mean because your kids were bad
I guess so
But after debriefing peniston and burrows and hearing that something had come up on radar that night
Drury figured there might be something to this incident
So a bunch of guys went out to the site took photographs and such
But they kind of figured that was going to be the end of it
But the next night on december 27th the ufo's returned
This is fucking so sweet, this is the best part is it like because also it's a christmas story
Yeah, everything is around christmas. So it's all this shit like they're literally doing that
In the bells in the bells
Like they have like fucking santa hats on they're all getting fucking hammered on eggnog and the shit's going down
Now the night of the second sighting was set to be a relaxing evening of r&r
Because that was the night of the combat support group awards dinner and yeah at an on base bar called woody's
That was located naturally on the wood bridge base. I love it. Oh my god, that would be so much fun so much fun
It's kind of cool. They set it up like a little town. It's kind of like like Auschwitz
Where they set up a city town where they lived in but I mean, that's the only thing I can compare it to
You can compare it to I don't know if it's the best comparison
I can compare it to I don't know the fucking military base that my uncle and his family lived on when I was a kid
It's all military bases are like this. They have a bar. They have a px. They have all kinds of shit
And they are little towns. Okay. I don't know
You're correct. I'm not allowed in the military. I have blood clots
But just as they were getting into the swing of things that night
Lieutenant Bruce england who was on duty and sober
Came inside looking shaken. He took colonel halt aside and told him that the ufo had returned
Oh, and so halt who was also sober. Well, you're really stressing the sober thing. Are they are you sure?
You have to because that's like, well, you know, they they had a christmas party that night
So so much for that theory. It's like, yeah, they were not all of them were blasted. Okay, great
Some of them were not all of them were
I actually would trust the drunk person more than the sober person in this
Because the drunk person is going to run right up to the plane tackle it, rassle around with it, bring it back to the barracks
It doesn't need to be like they're tailgating at a packers game
I don't know for you to get substantial evidence about ufo's. You got to be clearheaded. Okay. Yeah, be annoyingly clearhead. All right. All right
So halt decided to check it out first
He assembled a team of sober men and called up sergeant Monroe Neville's and master sergeant bobby balls
No, I never mind. It's his name is actually bobby ball. Bobby balls is a typo on my part
It would really be nice if I did have two testicles, but unfortunately i'll be bobby ball
I'll be bobby ball
And I try to refer normally as a basketball because people hate hearing a man have not having two balls
They respect me less. Yeah, but yeah, no, he actually got the entire group from Revenge and the nerds together
Right to go out and look at these ufo's because it was the only sober people at the christmas party. Yeah, interesting
Yeah, bobby and Monroe. I love it. All right
Now one of the first things halt wanted done was to set up a bunch of lightalls lightalls
There's essentially a flood lights on wheels that you can use to watch the skies. Okay, but the lightalls weren't working
Now some say that they were just out of gas and some of them certainly were but not all of them
Some of them just weren't working just like the radios hadn't worked a couple nights before
Of course the base was getting fired up partly because they were getting a little action in the middle of a boring cold war standoff
and partly because
Admittedly a lot of them were half in the bag from the christmas party
Of course
You know for a fact that him and the nerd squad are trying to set up these lightalls
And they're just throwing bottles of beer at them and like they're like they're shaking whiskey at them being like
Yeah, fucking get your gay ufo's nerds
Well, they're like they're all just really be like this is about the integrity of the base
One dude is just like hey, Tommy look at this takes off all of his clothes tuxes penis between his legs and just goes
Sprances out in front of the sober group of alien
I guess I'm an alien
Alien
You boys want to probe me reverse alien charles. Hope you like that's very serious. This is a serious time and this is military
Exponentials
Well halt was not one of those men. He was not one of the drunk ones. In fact halt was meticulous
So he took a handheld tape recorder everywhere
He went to record his thoughts and observations kind of like as nick poke points out dale cooper
Oh, yes, of course
So after halt gave the order to refill the lightalls or to do whatever the fuck needed to be done to get him working
He and his team headed out to the original landing site
Although we don't really know
Why they went to the original landing site. They didn't see the lights over there. They just kind of instinctively went over there
Well, we don't know we don't know why they went out there the answer though might be on one of halt's tapes
18 minutes of halts recordings from that night are available to the public, but according to an interview halt did 1999
He actually made four to five hours of tapes on december 27th 1980
Yes, which shows that obviously what we're getting is a highly curated version of these events
Yeah, highly curated is a hell of a nice way of putting redacted of saying redacted. Wow
No, but when asked to elaborate on what those tapes contained halt refused to comply
Saying that most likely the public would never hear what was recorded
Hey, hey, uh, get out of the way guy with his penis between his legs. You're not an alien. We're
No, you're not an alien. Get me. I'm an alien buddy. You're not gonna feel so happy when you wake up at 5 a.m
Hung over and I'm making you do a hundred push-ups. Okay
I'm an alien and I hear some dumb police officer
So in other words, we just got to make do with what we have here
Wow
Now the first part of the tape as they arrive to the landing site is pretty standard
Just them using a geiger counter to inspect the area
But then they found something
Intriguingly radioactive directly below the craft's landing site
Hmm
A small blast what looks like a blasted or
Scrubbed up area here. We've got very positive greens. See is that here the center? Yes, it is
This is what we're doing. We've got a dead center. Just think about all this going off all the way
Up to seven tenths or seven
Seven units that's going on a point five scale
Wow, that's so they are they're acting as if
I mean they seem to be
Acting authentically surprised very or just intrigued at the very least
Now what nick pope claims that is that this reading seven tenths is 10 times what the normal radiation should be
And is therefore proof that a ufo landed on this exact site
But on this point
We have to go with the skeptics
Yes, well, this is
It's interesting because people love the concept of ufos and radiation that radiation is the smoking gun
And then you got to get radiation if there there there's something about it's like what they also the way they take
Uh hypnotic regression very very seriously where they they believe this is the evidence you got to have
But we don't really know how the hell these things work. I don't know like they say they they're just looking for anything that seems to prove
Scientifically well, is that radiation is is the way to show that ufo showed up
Is there any chance that because it's a nuke site or potentially a nuke site that the radiation would be higher?
Well, I don't know for one it's obvious from the recording that this was a spike and not a steady reading
Which that that spike could have been anything from environmental radiation to a malfunction of the needle
If it was an actual radioactive site, they would have gone
Oh
That sounds like a fun bubble lawn mower
Yeah, started up, but it didn't it was just one that it was just one single spike
But it could have gone it could have gone
I don't know it's surprisingly peaceful. It is a shockingly peaceful sound
I think I want you to record that on loop for 30 minutes and I'll just go to sleep listening
ASMR but it means you're slowly getting radiation poison. Oh, I see. All right
Well, furthermore, they were using the wrong type of Geiger counter to test for background radiation
Meaning the readings they were taking were utterly useless. These are the sober ones. Yeah, these are the sober ones
No, however, just because the radiation is a bust does not mean that this entire incident is debunked
Okay. In fact, the debunkers may have ended up supporting one of our positions with their due diligence
You played into our hands
Yes, I'm Henry debunker. This is my wife Harriet debunker. They were the debunker family. It's because we're mostly but
See the debunkers figured out what kind of Geiger counter the men in the field were using and it turns out
That Geiger counter was more suited to monitoring major nuclear accidents
Such as the kind that might happen at a place that stores nuclear weapons
Cool now it could be this Geiger counter was standard issue to every air force facility during the cold war
You don't know. Sure. Maybe but you don't find basketballs on a football field. Okay, my friend. I can't tell you might
Someone might have brought a basketball to a football field. It's still sports
You might not find a pool net at a football field. I don't think you would find it. That's a whole nother story
But you know, even if you know, these are at every single place
It's nonetheless interesting that this facility in particular had this particular piece of equipment cool
Sure, but back to the landing site
This next clip is lieutenant england describing what he was seeing concerning marks on the trees as he and the other men
Inspected the area in question
I've never seen a pine tree as the damage reactor on this model to put that in
They're taking soil samples here, right?
Of the of the indentations of the three triangular indentations
Yes, where the where the UFO supposedly landed and they're noticing the tree rubbings. So we have so we have
So we have them. This is great. Yeah, so they are like legitimately in real time
Expressing exactly what they're seeing. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah, and as you can hear, although they stay professional
These men are steadily growing more and more concerned, right, right then using night vision
The men started finding hot spots like spots that were literally
Still warm well on the ground on the ground and on the trees. Wow
It's 32 degrees outside that's a part of it that was like this it's winter time
So it is very strange for this heavily packed soil to have heat radiating out radiating out from
Somewhere the bottom of it, right? I mean it does beg the question. Do the aliens know it's christmas?
I don't know. No, that is does it matter if they don't celebrate exactly like I mean, that's my thing
That is really awesome
Compelling audio though crazy. All right, dude, and there's still so much more to go
Then very suddenly they started hearing noises from some of the nearby farms or at least from the surrounding wildlife
The animals are freaking out like there's now something happening
We're now the that whatever the event is is starting to freak out all animals
Which is a common occurrence during a UFO any sort of incident right right awesome
I mean how important is animal reaction and I'm not like be like because obviously when the storms come in the birds
No, like but how important is that when you have animals be like yo some shit is going on here
And we're not I mean no one is ever going to be convinced that a
That some bizarre wolf is a conspiracy theorist on aliens during skinwalker ranch
We saw that they use dogs as their bio readers
They use them as a the because they do experience certain levels of I don't know if it's either
They can they can hear more things that we know they're more tuned to their natural instincts
They could see a little bit more of the electromagnetism in the world
I'm not really sure how that works, but they do freak out when weird shit happens
All right for all of our palm iranian listeners out there shoot us a dm
Let us know what you think
But also yeah, and wendy just freaks out. Um did anybody walk past the window? Of course
Yeah, and then they saw the light
When I switch off
I think it's done now it was approximately 120 degrees
Is it back again? Yes, sir. Oh, that's right
It's not about the edge of the tearing so I can get a better look at it. See if you can get the star scope on it
All right, it's still there and all the binary animals have gotten quiet now
Yeah, we're having about 110 120 degrees from the side. I threw to the clearing now
It's still getting reading on the meter about two clicks
Three to four clicks getting stronger
Now that part of the tape we just played is a big point of contention when it comes to the debunkers
They say that the light halt and the other men saw at this point in the tape was just a lighthouse off the coast
And when they're talking about that light in particular
The debunkers might be right the lighthouse in question shines at five second intervals and the spot in the tape where they say
It's gone. Oh wait. It's back again
That's exactly five seconds in length. Okay, but that doesn't explain what happened next. Okay, listen to this
Very very strange
I do like that they reacted the exact same way all of us would just be like, oh, yeah, it's weird
Like the fuck
What the charles is seeing
Is that this red light that appeared to be back behind the trees? Uh-huh. They're seeing this thing is now weaving its way
Through the trees. Wow. So in the way that we described it, it was it looked like an eye a giant red eye with a black center
And a big red ring around it
And what's weird is the fact that it's coasting around and it's shooting off
Sparks it's shooting off these little driblets off to the side
Which if you saw the uh live show for last podcast and left last year
I showed some footage of a ufo like a globular style ufo
Shit now the thing sat at the back of it and it was doing the same exact thing
Interesting and you can get our live show from last year. You can still get it on last podcast live.com
It's still only six dollars and 66 cents
So we can't wait to see everybody on the road for this year's live show
But if you want a little taste watch last year's good plug. So this is really this is some of the most compelling audio
I've ever heard. Yeah for sure. And the other thing about the lighthouse
It's not like the lighthouse just happened to be turned on for Christmas. This thing was going constantly
So they would have known if it was the lighthouse all night. I feel like that is my opinion
Yes, they would have known
The difference between the lighthouse and other lights
Right on like around and then the fact that they're saying weird and the fact that it was red
And like I think that's the the the three dimensional quality is what kicks in here
Is that they see this shit begin to approach and do a little dance for them. Yeah, and these were air force men
It's not like they never looked at this fucking sky. I mean the lighthouse was a known quantity
It could have been like just once or twice. They saw the lighthouse
But you know the this is something that was a static object in their environment. Yeah, I mean, I don't think a lighthouse resembles a
A strange detached hemorrhoid coming towards you. Unless it's a cool as fuck lighthouse
Maybe cool to have like a goth lighthouse where it's all black and it shines in real life
But I feel like which is what a goth lighthouse would want which is just destroy as many ships as possible
Yeah, that wouldn't really work and the lighthouse theory definitely doesn't explain what happened at the end of the tape
Listen to this
The base
Down to the ground man. I think he's Pittsburgh. I think that's what that is
But yeah, man, that's fucking freaky
Yeah, they saw some shit
Yeah, I think about how collected you have to be as a military person to be able to see this thing
Like shoot a little light and not be like
Right, right. It's almost like they're not moof on investigators and they were actually trained by competent
Militant minds. I am trained by the best teacher possible, which is me
Well later halt said the light and question was pencil thinned like a laser and it struck a point on the ground
Just 10 feet in front of them
Then the ufo flew right above wood bridge and shown a light
Directly down to the base, which is a show of strength five or fucking hurt one. Yeah
You're like, look what I can do
Look what I can do and you can't do anything that I love that about ufos when it's because they talk about
Ideas that the presence of these things that they acknowledge your presence. They are communicating with you
So it's just showing you being like what can you do? You can even shoot shotguns at me the last guy tried that
Right, nothing. They just all hurt each other and still that wasn't the only thing that happened that night
While these guys were off in the woods
John Burroughs from a couple of nights before was having a second encounter
Geez when he heard the ufo was back
He'd high-tailed it back to the base because burroughs claimed that he was inexplicably drawn to the craft
And at first halt had told his men to keep burroughs the fuck away from the landing site
But eventually he and a man named sergeant adrian bastenza were given by jason alexander
Very talented very talented
He was given permission to approach one of the lights to see if he could confirm or deny that this was indeed the same craft
But as they were driving towards the light in a jeep a streak of blue transparent light came streaking towards him
Followed by a white object that floated in the distance
Then when they got out of the jeep to walk towards it the light started coming towards them
Uh-oh bastenza hit the ground but burroughs
But burroughs kept walking forward eventually he disappeared into the light and was gone for several minutes before reappearing
Whoa
Again, he had no recollection of what happened and had missing time when he walked out
But this did add another fairly close-up witness to the phenomenon bringing the number of people who saw something that night
to about
60
60
Military dudes 60 military guys. You saw this shit, but the sightings are only half the story
The other half is the inevitable cover-up
Which we'll cover on the rendelsham forest ufo incident part two awesome
That's not only the cover-up. We're also going to cover the ways specific members of this this entire incident
And people they were affected by it how they went completely fucking insane right? We'll talk about like the the there's a lot more here
We're going to talk a little bit about binary code. We're going to talk about some people got scooped
We're going to talk about a crazy person named larry warren that just some kind of insinuates himself into the story
Somewhere in the mid 90s where he just all of a sudden I was there too
There's a lot of those guys that will show up in this story
But man, I was the one who took my penis between the legs. I was the one who did that. That was me. I was I was doing that
Um, wow awesome. This is without a doubt the best, uh, ufo encounter we've ever covered
I think anyway, it is compelling. Yeah, it's awesome. The audio is just so kick-ass because it's chilling
It really is what it shows that the these guys really did
The the aftermath too it shows that whatever happened. They saw some shit
I don't know what the hell is going on and and then we'll also go through all the various ways
Whether or not this is a hoax next episode too because there were several people that said that this was some kind of prank
There were people on christmas prank. Yeah, one of those classic christmas pranks. We all know about yeah robert my cousin robert
He killed his whole family. Yeah happens in a prank
