1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Crossing dimensions of time and space. Technology beyond comprehension. They are watching. They are waiting. They are already here.

2
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
I just got killed.

3
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
It wants us. It wants us. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

4
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:51,000
With US Soviet tensions running high, an American-run NATO facility in England is under the strictest security.

5
00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:04,000
US Airmen Jim Peniston and John Burroughs patrol the base perimeter in a vast wooded area known as Rendlesham Forest.

6
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
My rank was Airmen First Class. I was a law enforcement specialist.

7
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:17,000
My job at the Art of Woodbridge was in charge of base security. It was a heightened time of the Cold War.

8
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,000
I got a call on my radio. There was this sense of urgency on the security controller's voice.

9
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
We were heading down the East Gate Road to check the gate to make sure it was secure.

10
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Eastern radar reported that there was an unidentified bogey on the screen about 15 minutes before.

11
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:47,000
That made it look very probable it was an aircraft that had crashed. That's the only logical explanation of what was going on.

12
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
And we proceeded toward where the lights were in the forest.

13
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
It appeared the forest had like a white glow to it. At one point the boys said it looked like a Christmas display.

14
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Different color lights coming on and off.

15
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:22,000
As we got up to the tree line the whole situation changed. I knew it was an aircraft crash.

16
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:34,000
It was void of things such as the smell of burning fuel, the noise the fire creates in the woods.

17
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Our radio started to break up and that was in the mission.

18
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:06,000
It was a loud shriek that went off like something was startled or very upset.

19
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000
It went from a possible aircraft crash at that point in time to a possible security situation.

20
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,000
I was scurrying at the animals running away from the area. It was very strange.

21
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
I thought we were in trouble, yes, in trouble.

22
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000
I had a situation in front of me I had never, ever, ever encountered. I was scared to death.

23
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
There was a bright flash of light. It blighted.

24
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:57,000
As I started to get up off the ground, what formed was a silhouette of a triangular crack that was probably about 20 feet in front of me.

25
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
I was just totally perplexed by it.

26
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:13,000
As I walked up closer to it I could feel electricity jumping like on my clothing and skin, hair.

27
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
They looked like black glasses, very shiny.

28
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:29,000
But in the actual skin of this crack running through it was different colors.

29
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
There would be globs of whatever blue and orange.

30
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I was looking for crew compartments, intake, exhausts. It wasn't aerodynamic.

31
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000
I mean, it had no flaps and didn't have anything that normal aircraft would have to fly.

32
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000
I paced off the side of the craft and measured about 9 feet long, about 6.5-7 feet high.

33
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
As I started walking around it though, I got a glimpse of some type of writing on it.

34
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,000
My first reaction was, oh thank God, it's going to say United States Air Force on it, it's going to say NASA on it.

35
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
To my disappointment, it wasn't writing, it was like glyphs, corioles, on the side.

36
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Which made it even more, more mysterious.

37
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
These glyphs were measured about 3 feet long and about 5-6 inches high.

38
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
I ran my hand across. It was like sandpaper. It was very rough to touch.

39
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:41,000
There was a larger one above it, a large circle with a triangle in it and I touched that one.

40
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,000
You can see anything around me, all you can see is this bright intense white light.

41
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
They didn't stop, the intensity of it did not stop until I took my hands off of it.

42
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
And then a blink of eye was gone.

43
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
There was no air displacement, there was no sound.

44
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
It didn't make it as instant possible for an aircraft to do that.

45
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
What kind of technology is that? I was just overwhelmed. What just happened to me?

46
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
There, there it is.

47
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Whenever it was shot straight up above the trees, we ran after it because we thought it was going to re-land.

48
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
When we seemed to get close to it, it would get farther away.

49
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
We had no idea what we were doing with.

50
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Security Patrol 1, Security Patrol 1, please report.

51
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000
10-4, escape. We're turning on foot.

52
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Whatever it was, departed out towards the coast.

53
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000
We were pretty amazed by what we had just seen happen.

54
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Don and I were discussing like how can we explain this?

55
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
How can we go back and tell them all that we have seen?

56
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Why are you drawing that?

57
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Well, I'm drawing what we saw.

58
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
I didn't see that.

59
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
What do you mean you didn't see that?

60
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
You're with me.

61
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
I didn't see that.

62
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:34,000
There's a difference in memories between what Jim remembered happening as we hit the ground and what I remember.

63
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
What?

64
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
What I saw was a red oval type sunlight object.

65
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,000
From the time I hit the ground until the time the object departed was a very brief, brief period of time.

66
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
I didn't see Jim walk around the object.

67
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I couldn't really explain what it was or give any rationale behind what I saw.

68
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
As we returned to Eastgate, there's no discussion at all in the vehicle on the way back.

69
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
We're just speeches.

70
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Time you got.

71
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
4.45?

72
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Upon getting back to base, what seemed like being out there of only a period of 45, 50 minutes, something like that, was actually more like 2.5 hours.

73
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Well, I tried to write the time issue off as a drawing one, but I couldn't make that work.

74
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000
So we weren't sure what we were dealing with, but we knew we must go back out there and take a look around in the morning.

75
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000
On the morning of 26, we had to go back out to Eastgate.

76
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Was I scared?

77
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Sure.

78
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Sure I was scared.

79
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
What do you got?

80
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
I don't know.

81
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
I want to know what was going on.

82
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:43,000
After witnessing a mysterious craft in England's Rendlesham Forest, U.S. airmen Jim Peniston and John Burroughs are missing time and their memories don't match up.

83
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
I had no idea what we were dealing with.

84
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000
I had nothing to compare what I was seeing to anything that I've ever seen before.

85
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000
After we agreed to shift command and we decided that we were going to go back out to the area because it was daylight to get a better look around.

86
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
On the morning of 26, we had to go back out to Eastgate.

87
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Was I scared?

88
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Sure.

89
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Sure I was scared.

90
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:17,000
But having evidence or having something physical to say this happened was parallel.

91
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
What do you got?

92
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Nine feet.

93
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Nine feet.

94
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:31,000
There was three indentions in the ground, triangle, all equal, just as apart.

95
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
No salinity sight.

96
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000
What's that?

97
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
There was damage to the trees.

98
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
There was treeloms on the ground and damage to the canopy above.

99
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
That made it more real.

100
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Wow.

101
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,000
We were trying to draw some correlation to something military or anything out there that could explain what we were dealing with.

102
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000
We were in training all the time for aircraft identification.

103
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Everything from Russian aircraft to, you know, Warsaw hack type aircraft to Chinese aircraft.

104
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
So we could readily identify them just by their silhouette.

105
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:16,000
But it didn't fit any mold of any type of aircraft that they were seeing in training or have been taught to understand.

106
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
There.

107
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
There it is.

108
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Whatever we were dealing with that night is something I've never seen any military craft be able to do.

109
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Nick Pope is a former UFO analyst for the British Ministry of Defense.

110
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
December 1980 was a period of extraordinary international tension.

111
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000
It was all about dealing with the potential threat from the Soviets and the Warsaw Pact.

112
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
I theorized that a Soviet craft of some sort might be responsible.

113
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Some spy plane or unmanned aerial vehicle.

114
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Maybe the strange symbols that Jim Peniston saw were actually the Russian alphabet.

115
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
I knew it wasn't a Russian aircraft.

116
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
The glyphs are perplexing.

117
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
They were completely foreign.

118
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:14,000
I think the closest thing I could foresee that to be is something maybe Egyptian.

119
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Maybe.

120
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:21,000
The U.S. military has a long history of top secret aircraft with unique design characteristics.

121
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Dr. Scott Miller is a professor of aerospace engineering.

122
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,000
A lot of stealthy aircraft are going to have this deltoid plan for them.

123
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
It's very, very common.

124
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
The lights are typically located on the extremity of the aircraft so that can create a very strange pattern.

125
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Probably the strongest interest in trying to introduce technology to reduce the radar signature started happening in the Cold War.

126
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,000
The U-2, there were variants of that airplane where they were trying to make it much more stealthy.

127
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:02,000
The SR-71, the Blackbird, and its actual even darker, blacker variant of that airplane developed by the CIA called the A-12

128
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:09,000
were intentionally designed to have a much reduced radar signature and a reduced infrared signature

129
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,000
and create strange perceptions by people if they see them at night.

130
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,000
But everything an aircraft would do, this did not do.

131
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
It had no engine sound or nothing like that.

132
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
There was no sound at all.

133
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
It's impossible for an aircraft to do that.

134
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:34,000
The technology was so advanced, it had to be something far beyond what we were capable of producing.

135
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
When I finally got to bed, I was having trouble sleeping. I was very agitated.

136
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
I couldn't get these ones and zeros on my mind.

137
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Every time I shut my eyes, I could see them.

138
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
I got up because I couldn't get to sleep.

139
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:02,000
I grabbed a notebook that I had out through that night and I started looking through it again.

140
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Then I decided, well, those ones and zeros, I can still see them so I might as well record them.

141
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000
And the more I wrote, the better I felt.

142
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
But you don't dare tell anybody.

143
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
What if I told my commander that?

144
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
The part about the ones and zeros.

145
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000
I'm sure they would have thought it was a breakdown.

146
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
It would have been a career anger.

147
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
I retired the notebook. I put it away.

148
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,000
While Peniston tries to forget the strange encounter, Burroughs hopes to learn more.

149
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Two nights later, he returns to Rendlesen Forest with a group of airmen led by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt.

150
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000
There was more activity outside Woodbridge Base.

151
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000
On duty flight at the time, again saw strange lights in the woods.

152
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Colonel Halt was selected to lead a group of guys out into the forest to try to make sense of what was going on.

153
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Colonel Halt at the time was the deputy base commander for the 81st tactical fire wing at RF Bellwaters.

154
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
He was second in command for the base.

155
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000
I just wanted to know if it was back again or what we were dealing with.

156
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
I was looking for a rational explanation.

157
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Colonel Halt brought one of his little micro-set recorders with him.

158
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,000
He was doing little short clips on what they were dealing with.

159
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
He said they had seen strange lights in the sky flying around.

160
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
And he pointed to two that looked like they were doing a grid search.

161
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:52,000
All of a sudden, in front of us, we had a blue transparent light come streaking towards us.

162
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And then a white object kind of appeared up above and then floated down and was sitting out there in the distance.

163
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
I asked him for permission to go towards it to see if I could get a closer look.

164
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Yeah, go, go, go with it.

165
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
As we started going towards it, it appeared they started to come towards us.

166
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
The guy at the extensor was on my right.

167
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
He went down to the ground.

168
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
He saw me go into the light.

169
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
He saw me disappear.

170
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
He saw the light explode.

171
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
And I was gone for several minutes before I reappeared.

172
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
I have no recall of it.

173
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
I have no memory of it.

174
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
I have no memory of what happened.

175
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000
The next thing I know was standing in the field and whatever it was was gone.

176
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
It was like, what just happened?

177
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
What the hell was that?

178
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
John.

179
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,000
If you listen to what Sergeant Peniston says, at one point the bright light exploded.

180
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
And Sergeant Bestensis saw me go into it and that's what happened.

181
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,000
After the incident, they went down to the legend, know what happened on Saturday night and then Sunday morning.

182
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,000
A few days later, I was called up to Colonel Hoff's office along with John.

183
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
We listened to the tape.

184
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Yeah, moving at extremely high speeds.

185
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
We had a real life encounter going on that was being recorded as it happened.

186
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
I think Halt was trying to reassure us.

187
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
I'm confirming what you guys see.

188
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
What you guys saw before?

189
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
It happened again.

190
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
I don't know, sir.

191
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,000
I was actually relieved because that means it was no longer just on John and I's shoulder.

192
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:55,000
It means that we had other people in the Air Force that can confirm a second sighting of it.

193
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,000
But before Peniston and Burroughs can solve the mystery of what they saw,

194
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,000
they are contacted by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations.

195
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
We sent a phone call to report into OSI.

196
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:16,000
It's clear to me that the people involved in the aftermath of it aren't happy that we're doing what we're doing

197
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000
and they definitely could be threatening to us if we continue this.

198
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
The incident was to be kept quiet.

199
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Where's the rest of it?

200
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
The End

201
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:44,000
In December of 1980, Jim Peniston and John Burroughs witness an unusual craft in Rendlesham Forest.

202
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
While Burroughs and several other airmen document a similar encounter two nights later,

203
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Peniston, fearing for his military career, tries to forget what he saw.

204
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:11,000
I was very concerned that there was going to be further investigation and more crying into this situation.

205
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000
I received a phone call to report into OSI for the following day.

206
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,000
They wanted me to write a full statement. They were very adamant and clear about it.

207
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
They said, you write exactly what happened out there, everything.

208
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
I was intimidated. They are serious.

209
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,000
They told me that either I cooperate with them, tell them everything, or that's it.

210
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
The career, it's done.

211
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000
I said, well, am I going to lose my job over this?

212
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
They said, no.

213
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
They said, we want you to explain everything as it happened.

214
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
And then it's over with.

215
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Exactly what I wanted.

216
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
I wrote a four-page handwritten account of what happened.

217
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
I told them about the flash of light.

218
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Told them I had contact with the craft.

219
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
I told them I was going to lose my job over this.

220
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,000
But then Peniston is presented with a deal he didn't bargain for.

221
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Teen, twenty minutes later, they came back in.

222
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
They called in.

223
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,000
They have a type page, about a quarter of a page, maybe a little longer.

224
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
They made me read it, I think, two or three times.

225
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,000
So it was very sanitized. It was very generic.

226
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,000
They said, and this is the official story, the official account,

227
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
that you tell anybody to ask about this.

228
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
This isn't what I wrote.

229
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
I wrote a letter to Peniston.

230
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
I wrote a letter to Peniston.

231
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
I wrote a letter to Peniston.

232
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
I wrote a letter to Peniston.

233
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000
I wrote, where's the rest of it?

234
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
I thought that we had a code of conduct and honor.

235
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000
And, you know, you wouldn't write false statements or stuff like that.

236
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all.

237
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:22,000
But OSI can operate outside the realm of normal training command.

238
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
They were completely within their span of control to do that.

239
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:35,000
It did not sit well, but orders are orders. That's how it works.

240
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000
It was disturbing. I wasn't a criminal. I wasn't a war criminal.

241
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And that's the way they were treating me, like I was a captured spy or something.

242
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000
I think the government knows and this is sort of significant.

243
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
I believe that they don't want the public to know.

244
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000
There would have been a number of very good reasons to keep this secret.

245
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Firstly, I think no government on Earth could admit that our sophisticated air defenses are effectively irrelevant.

246
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,000
And that we're facing a technology that we simply have no defense against.

247
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Peniston and Burroughs comply with the order to keep the incident secret.

248
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
It was best for this to be, you know, let sleeping dogs lie. That's what we did.

249
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I departed the base on a normal three-year rotation in July of 1981.

250
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,000
After the incident happened, I did my best just to stop thinking about it.

251
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000
But that proves impossible.

252
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
I started not feeling well.

253
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:53,000
I experienced a number of different things that were related to the initial contact.

254
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:02,000
I started experiencing business. I was having interior problems and balancing problems.

255
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Three years after the incident, I was stationed by the next base and I had a heart infection that came up. It was very rare.

256
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:26,000
After I left Buntwater, I started having more problems and I ended up being diagnosed with a heart murmur.

257
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,000
The doctors that were working with me couldn't give me an explanation of what was going on.

258
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
We didn't find anything out until they released a British Doctrine.

259
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:43,000
The British government is in the process of declassifying and releasing its entire archive of UFO files.

260
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:51,000
An official report states that Colonel Halt and his team returned to Rendlesome Forest days after the second sighting to investigate.

261
00:23:51,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Colonel Halt recorded the levels of radiation and these were written up in his official report into the incident that was sent to the Ministry of Defence.

262
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:21,000
The Colonel went out with a team which included a disaster preparedness NCL, Sergeant Neville, and he had a guided tour and he recorded the levels of radiation out there on Arlington site and in the immediate area.

263
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:31,000
The peak readings in radiation turned up in three indentations that had been found in the forest floor.

264
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:39,000
The Defence Intelligence staff assessed that the radiation levels had been significantly higher than background.

265
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:51,000
I made the connection that dizziness was caused by the radiation from that incident because that was the one thing that the medical personnel were asking me about if I was exposed to radiation.

266
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:58,000
You know, I had a lemma there. They said, do I bring up, you know, I'm not supposed to talk about the incident.

267
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:06,000
So do I bring up I had radiation exposure or do I lie to the doctors and say that I never had?

268
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:15,000
And I followed my orders and I said, no, I had never had radiation exposure, even though I knew I had.

269
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:21,000
When I came in the Air Force, my entry physical clearly shows I came in with a clean bill of health.

270
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:28,000
When I got out in 1988 of active duty, my exit physical shows that I had several issues with my heart.

271
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,000
There's no explanation other than the fact that right after the incident I started having heart issues.

272
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Given the assessment of the radiation levels at the landing site, I believe that the government and the military owes John and Jim an explanation.

273
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:53,000
But with the military refusing to provide any answers, it's up to Peniston and Burroughs to solve the rendle some mystery on their own.

274
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:04,000
We finally came to an agreement that I would go under hypnosis to see if I had any kind of anything came up involving once I got close to it, if anything came out.

275
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,000
How do you feel?

276
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:12,000
It's calling to us to come to it. We've got to go to it. It's calling us to come to it.

277
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
I was possibly pulled up into it.

278
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Get one thing, get one thing.

279
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Following an encounter with a mysterious craft in Rendlesham Forest,

280
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Jim Peniston and John Burroughs suffer from increasingly poor health, and the U.S. military is unable or unwilling to explain why.

281
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Forced to search for answers on their own, they turn to hypnosis.

282
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:06,000
I went out to California where the hypnosis was conducted. The guy that was doing the hypnosis at that point did a very good job about just letting me tell.

283
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:15,000
The hypnosis lasted between two and three hours and went through a pretty good detail of the incident from beginning to end.

284
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Roger, we copy, we copy. We're moving in slowly.

285
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:33,000
It gives the impression of an object, but it's mostly light, all light. It's calling to us to come to it. We've got to go to it. It's telling us to come to it. We can feel it.

286
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,000
During the hypnosis, it comes out that I did have some kind of interaction with something out there.

287
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
We've got to get to it. We've got to get to it. We've got to know what it was.

288
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
It's very clear in my hypnosis. I was being drawn towards it.

289
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
I was possibly pulled up into it.

290
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:09,000
I believe that I was inside whatever it was why Siren Peniston circled the object.

291
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:16,000
It gives a decent explanation of why I don't remember Siren Peniston walking around.

292
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Further sessions explore what happened during Borough's second sighting when he met with Colonel Halt in the forest.

293
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
The hypnosis goes into a little bit more detail the second night.

294
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,000
The lights are back in.

295
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
I just, wow, I knew they were coming back tonight.

296
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Weird things. We were passing over Topha.

297
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000
They were making contact with someone.

298
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
The object wanted me out there.

299
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
I'd like to get a look.

300
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Let's go with him.

301
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:18,000
What is it, sweetheart?

302
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,000
I'm in something.

303
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000
What are you in?

304
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Don't know. My mind is in something.

305
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
I believe that I did end her something.

306
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
That I was inside.

307
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Whoa!

308
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
It's alright, sweetheart. What is it?

309
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
There are like 20 of them.

310
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
What do they look like?

311
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Little specks of blue lights.

312
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,000
I have contact with something from somewhere else.

313
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
I'm having a dialogue.

314
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,000
What are they?

315
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000
What's wrong?

316
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,000
They're coming at me.

317
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Now it's getting bigger and bigger, like milky, white, object or substance.

318
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,000
This just keeps going up, down, white or smaller.

319
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Then there's an eye or something behind it.

320
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000
The hole's opening up.

321
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Do you see anything in the hole?

322
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,000
No.

323
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Wow.

324
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
What does the hole mean to you?

325
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Clearly I had some kind of interaction with an intelligent something.

326
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Dr. Mark Schneegert specializes in astrobiology and the search for intelligent life beyond Earth.

327
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Life originating someplace else in the solar system of the galaxy

328
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000
and being either accidentally or purposefully brought to Earth

329
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000
is in the realm of possibilities.

330
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Intelligent life on another planet could be very different than intelligent life on Earth.

331
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
The organisms may not have hands and eyes.

332
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
They may not walk and talk like we do.

333
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
They may use their intelligence in different ways to be successful.

334
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
But it's much harder for us to conceive of

335
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
and much harder for us to look for because we have no examples.

336
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:35,000
I'd never seen a UFO prior to this, so I had no way to know whether it's possible or not.

337
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Like John Burroughs, Jim Peniston remains haunted by the events of December, 1980.

338
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Before that night, my perception of UFOs, meaning that ET alien, that kind of thing, they never existed.

339
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
I mean, we were safely alone in the universe.

340
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Then it all changed coming out of that woods that night.

341
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
I was only getting maybe two to three hours sleep a night.

342
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:17,000
So that's when it was suggested that I get a psychiatrist and maybe help me with the sleep disorder.

343
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000
During my hypnosis, there was a large jump in time.

344
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,000
From the time I'm being out in the woods.

345
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:32,000
His therapist is unable to penetrate beyond the moment Peniston touched the craft.

346
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Stuff that I just can't remember.

347
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,000
And she says, something traumatic happened to you.

348
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
What happened?

349
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
The word was...

350
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000
I always skip over that and go back being interrogated at OSI.

351
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000
No matter how she tried, she couldn't break that.

352
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
I'm going right.

353
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000
No.

354
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
I'm a thank yous again.

355
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,000
And she says, that is a sign of a memory block being put in.

356
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Things to prevent me recalling what happened.

357
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,000
I've never seen it before. I've only read about it.

358
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,000
All I remember was the first time I went into the OSI building and gave my initial statement and wrote it all out.

359
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Under the hypnosis, there was more encounters with being interrogated at OSI.

360
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Did they do something to you, President?

361
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Yes.

362
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Shot.

363
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,000
It involved having a soldier in a penithal given to me.

364
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Where did they give you the shot?

365
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,000
There are...

366
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
...session.

367
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
I've told you...

368
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
You can do this all day.

369
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,000
And life.

370
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Jim... Jim Patterson.

371
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:12,000
I can't see why they would treat a member of their security force like that.

372
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Drugs in this context could have two distinct purposes.

373
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,000
To get to the truth or to hide the truth.

374
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,000
The Americans and the British would be absolutely horrified...

375
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:38,000
...if the entire complicated and effective air defense network had been so totally compromised...

376
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
...that a craft could just get through like that.

377
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Everyone would have a reason to keep quiet about this.

378
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,000
But repeated sessions with the therapist begin to break down the memory block.

379
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,000
The End

380
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Years after an encounter with a strange craft in Rendlesham Forest...

381
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,000
...Jim Peniston undergoes hypnotherapy and discovers a memory block.

382
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Repeated hypnosis sessions reveal he was involved in a second unsettling interrogation at OSI.

383
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,000
I can't remember that I had been back down to OSI.

384
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
I didn't know I went back through that.

385
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,000
And they look to the night of December 25th, 1980, for answers.

386
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:44,000
The only thing that I couldn't recall was the 45 minutes out in the woods...

387
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,000
...where I would jump to the main base.

388
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Looks like right.

389
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,000
I can't.

390
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,000
I got a touch source.

391
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Did you catch the glyph?

392
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
What's happening?

393
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
I see the craft.

394
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
So, white light.

395
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
I started remembering.

396
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,000
And as I remember bits and pieces, all of a sudden those bits and pieces became chunks...

397
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000
...and the chunks became a full story.

398
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Their mission is contact...

399
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,000
...with us.

400
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
They are time travelers.

401
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,000
They are us.

402
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
They are us from...

403
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
...the future.

404
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:08,000
When I first heard myself on these films saying this, I thought it was another person talking.

405
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,000
I thought it was a person talking.

406
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
I thought it was a person talking.

407
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
I thought it was a person talking.

408
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
But it was all in disbelief, because it was beyond my thinking.

409
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:26,000
What I knew about time travel to that point was a movie that came out in 1960.

410
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,000
It was about time and machine by H.E. Wells.

411
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,000
That was it.

412
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Is time travel anything more than just fantasy?

413
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Dr. Ron Mallitt has dedicated his career...

414
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Dr. Ron Mallett has dedicated his career

415
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,000
to studying the controversial theory of travel through time.

416
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Time normally flows in a linear way from the past to the present to the future.

417
00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:00,000
However, Einstein's general theory of relativity says that time can be altered by gravity.

418
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:06,000
The stronger gravity is, the more time will slow down.

419
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Black holes can be thought of as sort of natural time machines

420
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:18,000
because a black hole causes an extreme bending of space, it causes an extreme bending of time.

421
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:27,000
This means that the closer you get to a black hole, gravity is getting stronger and time is slowing down.

422
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,000
So if you get near the edge of a black hole, time comes nearly to a halt.

423
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:42,000
If I can twist time into a loop, then I can go from the past to the present to the future by using light.

424
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Circulating light, you can cause a twisting of space and that this twisting of space can lead to a twisting of time.

425
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:55,000
One can only go back in time to the moment that the device was created.

426
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,000
It's the device that creates the effect.

427
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:06,000
I actually did not think the time travel was possible, but I'm starting to wonder if it's the only explanation.

428
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Through hypnosis, Peniston uncovers one more buried memory.

429
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
The light was just a constant light.

430
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,000
If white did everything else, I couldn't see anything else.

431
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
And then all I've seen was 1s and 0s coming.

432
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000
I was like, it's like crazy.

433
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,000
I can see the binary code.

434
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,000
During hypnosis, it's the first time I heard the words binary code.

435
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:40,000
And it was done in the context of when they asked what I was seeing, I respond by saying...

436
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
I can see the binary code.

437
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Alexander Furrwarn is a professor of computer science.

438
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Binary is a mechanism for encoding a language.

439
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,000
In a sense, a human language like English is a code.

440
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,000
So we're encoding ideas into that language.

441
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Binary simply lets you do it in a different way.

442
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Binary code is commonly used to encode secret messages.

443
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Around 1980, binary was not well known.

444
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:20,000
We were in the process of putting our toll into the binary computation for the home market.

445
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Looking at Jim Peniston, I'm not sure I see here a guy who, back in 1980,

446
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,000
would have been able to write binary code.

447
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
He's not a mathematician.

448
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,000
He's not a cryptographer.

449
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000
He doesn't know binary code.

450
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
During hypnosis, I actually called binary code.

451
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
This binary code is from time travelers.

452
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
It's from the future.

453
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
And these people are us.

454
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000
I'm not sure.

455
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,000
In spite of credible witnesses and physical evidence,

456
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:16,000
the military remains silent on the strange object seen in Rendlesham Forest in December of 1980.

457
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,000
No longer willing to keep quiet, Jim Peniston and John Burroughs

458
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000
turn to hypnotherapy to uncover the details of the encounter,

459
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000
which leads them to one last piece of the puzzle,

460
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:35,000
a mysterious pattern of ones and zeros known as binary code.

461
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
I kept it open.

462
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,000
I always felt there's been a Armenian of some kind.

463
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:49,000
I had an independent per company go ahead and look at the codes.

464
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:54,000
The actual problem with binary code is that unless you have a way of decoding it,

465
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,000
the actual code itself, the zeros and ones, can be interpreted in many ways.

466
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,000
If only a single person did it, well, that is, you know, that person's opinion.

467
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,000
If three independent people did it, then perhaps it's not their opinion.

468
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Perhaps there's consensus.

469
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,000
And if the message is consistent, then you have a code.

470
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:18,000
I sent them off to an expert in Australia, an expert on the eastern sea board of the United States.

471
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:26,000
And they independently deciphered them and came up with the same information.

472
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,000
It was a shock to me when he was actually a message.

473
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:38,000
They're here for the exploration of humanity. That's what the code said.

474
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Further independent analysis of Peniston's binary code reveals something even more shocking.

475
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,000
It showed seven geographical locations.

476
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Longitude and latitude can certainly be represented using some type of binary code.

477
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:02,000
In fact, a modern GPS system relies on being able to tell you where you are using a binary code.

478
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:08,000
The seven locations have been ciphered and they show places around the world.

479
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,000
There's a point in the American Southwest which is Sedona.

480
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,000
There's a point in Central America near Belize.

481
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,000
There's a point in South America near the NASCAR lines.

482
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:28,000
There's a point in Greece, a point in Egypt, and a point up in the mountains in China.

483
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:35,000
They gave a grid cord in the west of Great Britain, which is what they call High Brazil.

484
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:41,000
I believe it's significant in these areas that are naturally occurring electrical magnetic areas.

485
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:47,000
These electromagnetic fields could be possible gateways to other dimensions.

486
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:55,000
If you go to these sites, there's glyphs, there's drawings on walls showing some kind of encounter with something from outer space.

00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Peniston and Burroughs now believe they experienced some kind of contact with time travelers from the future.

488
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:10,000
But the military still doesn't acknowledge that anything unusual occurred in Rendlesham Forest.

489
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:20,000
I believe they're well aware that the incident we had happened that night was an incident that involved this type of phenomena.

490
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:30,000
The official word from the United States Air Force is that nothing happened that I have met with Lawrence Orwood Bridge on the dates in question.

491
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:44,000
I don't rule out the possibility that this was extraterrestrial, but neither can I say that I've seen or am aware of any definitive proof.

492
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,000
So far as I'm concerned, this incident is unexplained.

493
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:54,000
When I've met Jim and John, there's a certain haunted look in their eyes.

494
00:44:54,000 --> 00:45:01,000
When I speak to them about this incident, the tone of voice, you can tell they are still troubled by this.

495
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Every step toward getting an answer, the better off we are.

496
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:14,000
I'm more concerned about closure, finally understanding what we encountered in the field back in December of 1980.

497
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:24,000
When we find the answers and what it was, it ends for us. We want our involvement with the incident to stop. That's all.

498
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Thank you for watching.
