TRANSCRIPT OF THE RENDLESHAM FOREST TAPE - 12/27 AND 12/29-30/80
Produced for CUFON Computer UFO Network
BACKGROUND:
Lt. Colonel Charles Halt recorded an incident onto his
tape recorder that is supposed to have occurred either
on 12/27, 12/29, or 12/30 of 1980. The incident
occurred in England at the Woodbridge Airbase. At which
nuclear weapons are stored. I have tried, to the best
of my ability, and with my limited equipment, to
transfer the dialog from this tape to paper so that
those interested may read it as well as listen to it.
If you find any corrections, please let me know so that
I may correct them.
Thank you,

Col. Halt: 150 feet or more from the initial, I should say
suspected impact point. Have a little difficulty, we
can't get the Lidall to work. Seems to be some kind
of mechanical problem. Going to send it back and get
another Lidall. Meantime were going to take some
readings with the Geiger counter and uh, stick around
here a little bit waiting for another Lidall to come
back in.
Soldier: Let's mark one at a time, that's pod number.
Halt: O.K., were now approaching the area within about 25
or 30 feet. What kind of readings we getting?
Anything?
Soldier: Just five clicks.
Halt: Five clicks. Where are the impressions?
Soldier: Here's one.
Halt: Is that all the bigger they are?
Soldier: Well there's one more well defined one over here.
Halt: We're still getting clicks
Soldier: Still getting clicks.
Halt: Can we read that on the scale?
Soldier: Yes Sir, we're now on the 5/10ths scale, and were
reading about, uh, the third or fourth increment.
Halt: O.K., we're still comfortably safe here.
Radio: (Makes comment about a Lidall)
Unknown: Still minor readings.
Halt: Let's go to the third one over here.
Soldier: Yes, now I'm getting some residual.
Halt: I can read that, the meter is definitely
giving....low pulse.
Lets go to the center of the area next and see what
kind of reading we get out there. You're reading the
clicks, I can't hear the clicks. That about the
center Bruce?
Soldier: Yes Sir.
Halt: O.K., lets go to the center. That's the best
deflection needle I've seen yet. O.K., can you give
me an estimation.
Soldier: We're on the point five scale, and we're getting,
we're getting right at, uh, a half of a
milliroentgen.
Halt: That's point.
Soldier: I haven't seen it go any higher.
Halt: O.K., we'll go out toward the...
Soldier: Now it's picking up.
Halt: This is out toward the Level One indentation where we
first got the strongest reading. It's similar to
what we got before.
Soldier: This looks like an area here possibly that could be a
blast.
Soldier: It just jumped to 17.
Halt: What?
Soldier: It just jumped to 7 tenths.
Halt: Seven tenths, right there in the center?
Soldier: Uh, huh.
Halt: We found a small blast, what looks like a blasted,
or, scruffed up area here. We're getting very
positive readings.
Lets see, is that near the center?
Soldier: Yes it is.
Halt: Up to seven tenths. Seven units lets call it on the
point Five scale. O.K., why don't we do this. Why
don't we make a sweep.
Soldier: Here, I got my gloves on now.
Halt: Lets make a sweep out around the whole area, about 10
foot out. Make a perimeter run around it, starting
right back here at the corner. Back at the same
first corner where we came in. Lets go right back
here. I want to depend on you to count the clicks.
Soldier: Right.
Halt: O.K. lets...right put the light on it, lets sweep
around it. Put it on the ground every once in a
while.
Soldier: This looks like an abrasion on the tree.
Halt: O.K., we'll catch that on the way back, lets go
around, hit it there.
Soldier: I got an interesting one over here, looks like an
abrasion point into the center.
Halt: It is. It may be old though, there's some sap marks
or something there. Lets go on back around.
Soldier: They ought to give us an extension on that.
Halt: Yeah, this is an awkward thing to use isn't it. Are
we getting anything further?, I'm going to shut this
recorder off until we find something.
Soldier: Picking up here.
Halt: Picking up? What are we up to? We're up to 2 3
units of deflection. You're getting in close to one
pod.
Soldier: Picking up something here. Picking up.
Halt: O.k., its still not going above 3 or 4 units.
Soldier: Right. It's picking up more though. More frequent.
Halt: Yes, you're staying steady up around 2 to 3...to 4
units now.
Soldier: Get one of these trees that's facing the blast. What
we assume is the landing sight. All around an
abrasion that's facing in the same direction towards
the center.
Halt: That's interesting, lets go this way around the
circle. Turn it back down here.
Halt: Let me see that. You know that's kind of funny,
that's, your right about the abrasion. I've never
seen a tree that's, uh, never seen a pine tree that's
been damaged, react that fast.
Soldier: I have a bottle to put that in.
Halt: Yeah, you have a sample bottle?
Soldier: Yes Sir.
Halt: Yeah, put this stuff in.
Soldier: You notice their all the same color.
Halt: O.K., from now on lets, lets, lets identify that as
point number one. That stake there. So you all know
where it is if we have to sketch it. You got that
side Nevells?
Soldier: Yes Sir.
Halt: O.K., closest to the Woodbridge Base.
Soldier: That will be point one.
Halt: Be Point one. Lets go clockwise from there.
Soldier: Point Two.
Halt: Point Two, so this tree is between point two and
point three.
Radio: (Two other personnel requesting Halts location)
Halt: Tell them negative at this time. We'll tell them
when they can come out here. Don't want them out
here right now. O.K., the sample, your gonna want
this sample number one.
Soldier: Yes Sir.
Halt: Have them cut it off and include some of that sap and
all, is between indentation two and three on a pine
tree about, uh five feet away, about 3 and a half
feet off the ground. There's a round abrasion on the
tree about, uh, 3 and a half, or four inches in
diameter. It looks like it might be old, but, uh...
Halt: Strange, there's a crystalline pine sap that's come
out that fast. You say there's other trees here that
are damaged with similar things?
Soldier: Yes, over towards the landing sight.
Halt: O.K., why don't you take a picture of that, and
remember your picture. Hey, you ought to be writing
this down. Well, it's going to be on the tape.
Soldier: You got a tape measure with you?
Halt: This is the picture, your first picture will at the
first tree. The one between, uh, mark 2 and 3.
Meantime, I'm going to look a couple of these trees
over here...
Halt: Are you getting any readings on the trees your taking
samples from?, on the side facing the suspected
landing sight?
Soldier: 4 clicks, max.
Halt: Up to 4. Interesting. That's right where you're
taking the sample now.
Soldier: Four.
Halt: That's the strongest point on the tree?
Soldier: Yes Sir.
Soldier: If you come up to the back, there's no clicks
whatsoever.
Halt: No clicks at all on the back, it's all on the, the
side facing the...interesting. All the tissues look
like something twisted it, as it sat down on them.
Looks like someone took something and sat it down and
twisted it from side to side.
Soldier: Uh, huh.
Halt: Very strange. We're up at the same tree we took the
sample off with this, what do you call it, starscope?
Soldier: Uh, huh.
Halt: Getting a definite heat reflection off the tree,
about three to four feet off the ground.
Soldier: Yes. At the same spot.
Halt: Same place as the spot is, we're getting a heat...
Soldier: On the spot on the tree directly behind us, I picked
up the same thing, the one off to your right.
Halt: Three trees in the area, immediately adjacent to the
sight, within ten feet of the suspected landing
sight, we're picking up heat reflection off the
trees. What's that again?
Soldier: Well, shine the light on it again Bob.
Halt: You having trouble? O.K., turn the light on.
Soldier: When you turn the light on, you'll notice the white.
** Halt: Hey!
Halt: You're right there's a white streak on the tree.
Soldier: Yeah, indicates, uh...
Halt: Let me turn around and look at this tree over here
now, just a second. Why don't you direct it towards
this tree. I can see it. O.K., now give me a little
side lighting so I can climb the tree. O.K., uh, I
lost the tree. O.K., stop, stop. Light on. Hey,
this is eerie. This is strange, here, someone want
to look at the spots on the ground. O.K., lets step
back and not walk all over it. Come back here and
somebody put a beam on'em. We're going to have to
come back 10 or 15 feet. O.K., lights off. Yeah.
O.K., that's what we'll call spot number 3. Lets go
to the back part and get spot number one. Spot
number one, here's spot number one right here. Spot
number one right here. Need some light? There it is
right there. Focused? O.K., look around spot number
one through the Starlight scope.
Soldier: Picking up a slight increase in light as I go over
it.
Halt: Slight increase in light at spot number one. Lets go
look at spot number two.
Halt: Spot number two's right over here. Right here, see
it? O.K., get focused on it, tell me when. O.K.,
lights on, lets see what we get on it.
Soldier: Slight increase.
Halt: Just a slight increase?
Soldier: I'll try to center it.
Halt: It's slightly off centered, it's right there. Better
get your reading on it right there.
Soldier: O.K.
Halt: Tell me when your ready.
Soldier: Ready.
Halt: O.K., lights on. This is the center spot we're
looking at now, or almost the center.
Soldier: Slight increase.
Halt: Slight increase there. This is slightly off centered
toward the, uh, one two side. It's some type of
abrasion or something in the ground where the pine
needles are all pushed back and we get a high reading
about, uh, deflection of two to three, maybe four,
depending on the perimeter.
Soldier: Yes, you say there's a positive after effect?
Soldier: Yes, there is definitely...that's on the center spot.
Soldier: There is an after effect.
Soldier: Whats that mean?
Soldier: Means that when the lights are turned off, once we
are focused in and allow time for the eyes to adjust,
we are getting an indication of a heat source coming
out of that center spot. Which will show up on...
Soldier: Heat or some form of energy, hardly heated at this
stage of the game.
Halt: Looking directly overhead, one can see an opening in
the trees, plus some freshly broken pine branches on
the ground underneath. Looks like some of them came
off about 15 to 20 feet up. Some small branches,
about an inch or less in diameter.
** Halt: It's 0148, we're hearing very strange noises out of
the Farmer's barnyard animals. There very, very
active making awful lot of noise. You just saw a
light? Where?
Soldier: Yeah
Halt: Wait a minute now, slow down, where?
Soldier: Right up in this position here, straight ahead, in
between the tree...there it is again! Watch.
Straight ahead off the flash back there Sir. There
it is.
Halt: Yeah, I see it too. What is it?
Soldier: We don't know Sir.
Halt: Yeah, it's a strange small red light, looks to be
maybe a quarter to a half mile, maybe further out.
I'm going to switch off for awhile.
Halt: The light is gone now, it was approximately 120
degrees, is it back again?
Soldier: Yes Sir.
Halt: Well douse the flashlights then. Lets go out to the
edge of the clearing so I can get a better look at
it. See if you can get the Starscope on it. The
light's still there and all the barnyard animals have
gotten quiet now. Yeah, we're heading about 110 or
120 degrees from the sight, I'm through to the
clearing now, still getting a reading on the meter.
About two clicks. Just counted 3 to 4 clicks,
getting stronger.
Soldier: Now it's stopped. Now it's coming up, hold on, there
we go. About 4 foot off the ground with a compass
heading of 110 degrees.
Halt: Turn the meter off, now say that again. About 4 feet
off the ground, about 110 degrees, getting a reading
of about 4 clicks?
Soldier: Yes Sir. Now its died.
Halt: Now its died. I think it's something other than the
ground. I think its somethings that, something very
weird.
Soldier: How about the tree right over...
Halt: We just _______ the first night _______ we've seen.
We're about 150 or 200 yards from the sight. The
woods are just deadly calm. There is no doubt about
it, there's some type of strange flashing red light
ahead.
Soldier: There, it's yellow.
Halt: I saw a yellow tinge in it too. Weird, it, it
appears that he may be moving it this way? It's
brighter than it has been.
Soldier: Yellow.
Halt: It's coming this way!, it's definitely coming this
way. Pieces of it are shooting off. There is no
doubt about it, this is...weird. It is definitely...
Soldier: Two lights, one light to the right, one light to the
left.
Halt: O.K., keep the flashlights off. There's something
very, very strange. Keep the headset on, see if it
gets any stronger. O.K., give us a rundown.
Soldier: Notation that this is on a Beta reading too.
Halt: It's on a Beta reading, O.K.
Soldier: But it still has been removed.
Halt: O.K.
Halt: Pieces are falling off it again.
Soldier: And it just moved to the right.
Halt: Yeah!
Soldier: Just off to the right.
Halt: Strange...Why did it go left?
Halt: Lets, lets approach to the edge of the woods up
there, O.K.? You wanna do without lights? Lets do it
carefully, come on.
Halt: O.K., we're looking at the thing, we're probably
about 2 to 300 yards away, it looks like an eye
winking at you. It's still moving from side to side,
and when you put the starscope on it, it, it sort of
has a hollow center, a, a, dark center. It's, It's,
you know, like the pupil of an eye looking at you,
winking. And the flash is so bright to the starscope
that, a, it almost burns your eye.
Halt: We passed the Farmer's house and crossed into the
next field, and now we have multiple sightings, of up
to 5 lights with a similar shape and all. But they
seem to be steady now, rather than a pulsating or
glow with a red flash.
Halt: We just crossed the creek.
Soldier: Here we go, strong.
Halt: And, uh, we're getting what kind of readings now?
Soldier: Three clicks.
Halt: Three good clicks on the meter and we're seeing
strange lights in the sky.
Halt: At 0244 we're at the far side of the Farmer's, second
Farmer's field. And made sighting again, about 110
degrees. This looks like it's clear out to the
coast, it's right on the horizon. Moves about a bit,
and flashes from time to time. Still steady or
__________ encounter. Also after negative readings
in this other field, we're picking up, a, slight
readings, a, 4 or 5 clicks now, on the meter.
Halt: 0305, we see strange strobe like flashes to the,
rather sporadic but there's definitely something,
some kind of phenomena.
Halt: 0305, at about 10 degrees horizon, directly North,
we've got two strange objects, uh, half-moon shaped,
dancing about colored lights on them. At, uh, what I
would guess to be about 5 to 10 miles out, maybe
less. The half-moons are now turning full circles.
It's although there was an eclipse or something there
for a minute or two.
Halt: 0315, now we've got an object about 10 degrees
directly South. 10 degrees off the horizon. And the
ones to the North are moving. One's moving away from
us.
Soldier: They're moving out fast!
Soldier: This one on the right is heading away too!
Halt: And they're both heading North. Here he comes from
the South, he's heading toward us now. Now we're
observing what appears to be a beam coming down to
the ground. This is unreal.
Halt: 330, or 0330 and the objects are still in the sky
although the one that's South looks like it's losing
a little bit of altitude. We're turning around,
heading back towards the base. The object to the,
the object to the South is still beaming down lights
to the ground.
Halt: 0400 hours, one object still hovering over Woodbridge
Base at about 5 to 10 degrees off the horizon, still
moving erratic, and similar lights, and beaming down
as earlier.

SUBJECT: Unexplained Lights
TO: RAF/CC
1. Early in the morning of 27 Dec 80 (approximately 0300L),
two USAF security police patrolmen saw unusual lights
outside the back gate at RAF Woodbridge. Thinking an
aircraft might have crashed or been force down, they call
for permission to go outside the gate to investigate. The
on-duty flight chief responded and allowed three patrolmen
to proceed on foot.The individuals reported seeing a strange
glowing object in the forest.The object was described as
being metallic in appearance and triangular in shape,
approximately two to three meters across the base and
approximately two meters high. It illuminated the entire
forest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing
red light on top and a bank(s) of blue lights underneath.
The object was hovering or on legs. As the patrolmen
approached the object, it maneuvered through the trees and
disappeared. At this time the animals on a nearby farm went
into a frenzy. The object was briefly sighted approximately
an hour later near the back gate.
2. The next day, three depressions 1 1/2" deep and 7" in
diameter were found where the object had been sighted on the
ground. The foll- owing night (29 Dec 80) the area was
checked for radiation.Beta/Gamma readings of 0.1
milliroentgens were recorded with peak reading in the three
depressions and near the center of the triangle formed by
the depressions. A nearby tree had moderate
(.05-.07)readings on the side of the tree toward the
depressions.
3. Later in the night a red sun-like light was seen through
the tree. It moved about and pulsed. At one point it
appeared to throw off glowing particles and then broke into
five separate white objects and then disappeared.
Immediately thereafter, three star-like objects were noticed
in the sky. Two objects to the north and one to the south,
all of which were about 10 degrees off the horizon. The
objects moved rapidly in sharp angular movements and
displayed red, green and blue lights. The objects to the
north appeared to be elliptical through an 8-12 power lens.
They then turned to full circles. The objects to the north
remained in the sky for an hour or more. The object to the
south was visible for two or three hours and beamed down a
stream of light from time to time. Numerous individuals,
including the undersigned, witnessed the activities in
paragraphs 2 and 3.
