The efforts to discredit tell us all we need to know
[edit]It's reassuring to see how much effort goes into trying to discredit the Rendlesham incident, especially given how paper thin the supposed explanations are. I say leave this page exactly as it is as an example of how badly the UK and US governments have papered over the cracks. My personal thoughts are that a UFO cover story was concocted right at the start to explain away a major emergency on the edge of the base. Something very embarrassing to the USA. Something involving a damaged nuke weapon in the woods for example. Rather than die down the story has grown wings over the year. While an outlandish story is good cover it attracts too much attention to Rendlesham/Bentwaters. 86.166.237.215 (talk) 19:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
BBC News. Dec 2020. USAF guard John Burroughs
[edit]This is not currently referenced in the article.
Rigby, Nic (26 December 2020). "Rendlesham Forest UFO: Are we any closer to the truth 40 years on?". BBC News.. See quote (emphasis added):
One of those [USAF] guards was John Burroughs. He went to investigate the sighting, and says he first saw a beacon in the distance in the forest with green, red, orange and white lights.
As he and his colleagues approached, Mr Burroughs says they saw a white light silently explode and then a red, oval, sun-like object in the clearing. It lifted up through the trees and shot back towards the coast.
I like his attitude. He has some interesting theories. Read the article.
But that is not what is really important. What is important is what he saw. As to what it is that he saw, who knows. It's definitely not a lighthouse, star, fireball, etc. that causes what he saw. Stars don't change directions. Fireballs may explode, but don't show up in a clearing, and then lift up and shoot towards the coast. --Timeshifter (talk) 01:18, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- This article can be improved by reporting what one of the witnesses, A USAF guard, saw. From a reliable source, the BBC News. --Timeshifter (talk) 14:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
John Burroughs medical disability due to Rendlesham events
[edit]Toby Martinez and Shane Frakes (7 May 2023). "John Burroughs and the government's unprecedented acknowledgment". Roswell Daily Record.
In 2015, the U.S. government made an unprecedented move by acknowledging the health issues of former Airman First Class Burroughs, resulting from his encounter with a UAP in England's Rendlesham Forest in December 1980. The decision to grant Burroughs total medical disability by the Veterans Administration (VA) not only recognizes the reality of the phenomenon, but also highlights the potential health consequences of such encounters.
