About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious events surrounding the Rendlesham Forest incident involving U.S. Air Force personnel and UFO sightings in 1980.

In December 1980, U.S. Air Force personnel on patrol near RAF Woodbridge in Rendlesham Forest, England, reported strange lights moving through the trees and unidentified objects in the sky. When the lights reappeared two nights later, deputy base commander Lt Col Charles Halt recorded the events on a Dictaphone. What followed became known as “Britain’s Roswell.” Connect With Us Website: genwhypod.com Instagram: @generationwhypodcast Facebook: facebook.com/thegenerationwhypodcast TikTok: @genwhypod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thegenerationwhypodcast Support the Show For special episodes, outtakes, and more from Justin & Aaron, visit: patreon.com/generationwhy Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Generation Why ad-free right now.
