I have read many postings on various sites that describe the Rendlesham Forest as the British Roswell. I've got to correct this mis-conception once and for all. THE "British Roswell" was actually the Penkridge UFO crash. This occured in February 1964 at Penkridge, Staffordshire in an area of forest that stretches for tens of miles, known as Cannock Chase.
A UFO crash landed, and remained semi-intact, which was recovered, along with three Alien bodies, by the Military. (U.K. I presume.).
At the time a man had been driving across the Chase when he came across a Military cordon and was ordered to turn his vehicle around and find an alternative route. He did as he was told; however when out of sight of the Military he parked his van on the side of the road and stealthily crept through the forest on foot back to the area that had been cordoned off. On arriving he was shocked and fascinated to see some form of small triangular-shaped object, that did not look man-made, being loaded aboard a Military Transport vehicle. This man, Harold South, told the original investigators that he always carried his camera with him and proceeded to take a couple of photographs of the object.
When he arrived home it transpired that the local Police had been searching for him. He was taken to Bloxwich Police Station and was subsequently interrogated. He was informed that he had been seen taking photographs and he was further told, "we want those pictures". His camera and film were taken from him, never to be seen again. The investigators of this incident were, Nick Redfern and Irene Bott, of the Staffordshire UFO Group. who made extensive enquiries. When Nick and Irene first went to interview the man, he told them that only minutes after speaking with them on the telephone to arrange the interview, he received a strange and disconcerting telephone call from the M.O.D. Police warning him not to speak with the investigators.
Nick and Irene wondered if the man was fantasising or lying. However ,after checking they were able to determine that the man had received such a call and they were able to trace it back to an office of the Ministry of Defence Guards Service at the nearby Whittington Army Barracks at the City of Lichfield.
It has been reported that the semi-intact craft and the bodies were removed and transported to Porton Down Scientific Research Establishment. It transpires that any evidencefrom all UFO related incidents find their way to Porton Down S.R.E.
A full report on this and other similar incidents can be found at;

A British Alien? I hope he didn't drink tea nor eaten pudding otherwise i bet he'll get intoxicated from head to toes.

Nice sci-fi story by the way


*Never trust a Briton (same rule applies for an amerikkkan) lol

I can assure you that this is no sci-fi story. The event that I recalled actually occured and has been covered up/ hushed up by those wonderful people at the U.K. Ministry of Defence along with other similar incidents.
It is becoming clear that the U.K. is a hot-bed of UFO activity especially in recent years. The time is long overdue for an extensive disclosure project within the U.K.
It is time that our Government "came clean"!

The MOD covers loads of UFO sightings up, if not all. There's almost
NEVER anything about UFO's/Aliens on British T.V or in the press.

I'm sure they just avoid the subject totally, they don't want to scare the people, or they've been ordered not too.

mish, you've got it right there when you say, "they've been ordered not to". The U.K. GOVERNMENT does everything that the U.S. tells them to and I, for one, cannot understand why. I know that they are allies and all that but surely in that respect it should be a two-way street and not," do as I say, not what I do". The U.S. Government have a lot to answer for.

The thing about scientist's is they like to brag and speak out of place about things they have done.

The one's at porton down are no different.

There is a vault in the first less secure area of porton that contains 50 years of video evidence from the mustard tests on humans to the sheep with pink wool. It is not guarded but then again there is little need for it to be guarded. It is a vault that if the worlds best safe cracker saw he would simply sigh.

Don't know much, actually your post is the first I have heard about the case you mention 02/64 in Penkridge, Staffordshire, UK. I'm certainly interested in learning more about it.

I believe the Rendlesham/Bentwaters incident of 12/80 is bigger than the 07/47 case in Roswell.
Halt, Penniston and others have kept it alive through the years. Official memos on it, Tripod castings, OSI interrogations, audio tape, hand recorded cryptic symbols and craft descriptions, military witnesses, stuff like that make it's credibility well grounded in my opinion.

Yet there were at least 6 other people who saw most of what happened and have never been asked for information, people that were less than half a mile away.

Hi realyweely, if your referring to Rendlesham, 1980 incident, most all came forward including the Base Commander thanks to Sci Fis investigation just a few years ago. It more than just happened in my opinion, it's a bigger case than Roswell could ever hope to be. Been following Penniston's stuff through the years since /96. Lot happening on this one I feel.

great read. I am amazed at the way national security keeps this underwraps.
I mean from total disclosure
thats a relic from post WWII thinking
sad, sad, sad

I still have doubts about Roswell itself.

This Penkridge UFO thing, well. If all you got is an eye witness or two and no other corroborating evidence I see no need to go further.

One persons testimony, a missing camera a possible phone-call from a MOD Plod. Don't add up to much for me.

It could be that he did come across a military cordon in the UK. I have heard of a case where a secret tank was involved in a collision. They closed off the road for hours to recover any elements of the tank that may have been remaining. It is possible that it was a scenario such as this that he encountered. It is equally possible that he had an earlier "appointment" that his missus didn't know about and needed a cover story. Who knows?

But I do not see enough to go on with this case.

The three cases UKExposer states:

Rendlesham seemed to have enough witnesses and some kind of corroboration (the tape) and is worthy of mention.

Cosford. Well I attended one of Mr Cooks talks and he mentioned this. It is a puzzle. Not sure it was E.T. though. But it seemed to have had enough witnesses over enough of the land to get my curiousity. It was reckoned to be hundreds of meters long if I remember. Where is it now? If it was really that sort of size and terrestrial, it would surely need a huge maintenance facility. It seems the Yanks were also curious about this one!!

Berwyn. I think it was but a meteorite strike. I live pretty near and no-one really talks of it. A few families that witnessed it do. But to be honest most people in the area would have no idea what you are talking about. I haven't even felt it worth going to have a look at the scene.

I saw a meteor come down near Moel Famua / Loggerheads ten years ago or so. It was spectacular but I did not think it a UFO, as in a manufactured craft. I just thought "Cool!!" I was a bit cheesed off that I was the only one to witness it...I heard no mention in the news or papers. I used to walk and run around that area a lot and quite often looked to see if I could see where it landed. Its very woody there I saw it go down below the trees but as it was at night I had no real point of reference.

I can understand how an active imagination or ignorance of the fact that stuff falls out the sky could easily convert such sightings into UFOs / "The Aliens Have Landed" events.

Just a couple of pence....

No, 'most all' didnt come forward. The Military did but dont forget there were a lot of people in the village very close nearby who saw everything.
I was actually visiting and staying with a freind in the village that night and saw a lot of what went on.
