Subject: PROJECT-1947 - Col. Halt at FUFOR Conference

Greeting List Members,

   COL Halt presentation at the FUFOR conference Saturday was
very carefully prepared and covered many aspects of the
Rendlesham events that were previously unclear.  Since a tape
was made of the presentation, I want to get this for further
study.  He talked briefly with him prior and after his talk.

Here are some points he made:

1.  Neither COL Halt nor the US component of the Air Base
conducted an official investigation.  The area where the
sightings occurred were out of the US jurisdiction.  The
Military Police did not submit a Serious Incident Report.

2.  The UK component likewise, to COL Halt's knowledge, did
not submit an report.  Since the US and UK personnel
coordinated closely on such matters, Halt did not doubt his
counterpart's word.

3.  This area was in the local police jurisdiction.  He knew
that they investigated, but not the results.

4.  The sightings were general knowledge on the base.  Halt
got a UFO T-shirt as a going away present when he left.

5.  They were not told to keep quiet about the sightings.
They did so out of concern for the careers and because of
ridicule.  There was also a concern of the US military
presence in an area beyond their jurisdiction.

6.  COL Halt did not have control over the OSI.  No OSI
personnel investigated him.  He felt there was an outside
investigation because others told they were questioned.
(Richard Hall told me that his information indicated that the
witnesses felt something sinister about such an investigation.)
The OSI could have submitted a report without Halt's knowledge.

7.  The sightings, as spectular as they were have been further
jazzed up by others in their accounts.

8.  He will not appear anywhere with Larry Warren.  Asked
about why Warren's creditability, and why Warren left the
service, he declined to answer directly.  (Considering that
there might be privacy issue here, we should not be surprised.)

9.  They were aware of the lighthouses, and consider this
explanation without merit.  Halt talked to the lighthouse
keepers who echoed that assessment.

10.  Halt is aware of rabbit burrowing.  They encountered
rabbit problems with bunker maintanence.  That is why they
believe the landing traces had nothing to do with rabbits.

11.  The film from the cameras came out fogged.  While there
was increased radiation at the "landing" site, it was not
great enough to fog the film.

12.  There were no underground storage areas at the base. The
high water table makes underground installations impracticable.

13.  Monitoring of telephones.  Official telephones are subject
to monitoring.  Generally, the monitor only records that classified
information may be involved.  Satistics are made available to
commander.  It is possible that specific calls are recorded.
All US military in Europe are aware of this.  It is also
constantly announced on the American TV and Radio systems.  It
is unlike that pay phones are monitored.

14.  Certain British UFO enthusiasts have more obnoxious behavior
than their US counterparts.  Halt had to have one fellow who invaded
his house removed by the police.  He family was harassed.

15.  He was not forced to retire because of this incident as some
claimed.  He had increasing more important assignments after this
incident.

16.  He suffers no ill effects while other witnesses have had
medical aftereffects.

17.  Halt would not comment on Rendlesham having special weapons.
While I at first thought this being too caustious, the Air Force
does have different standards than the other services.

Best regards,

Jan Aldrich
