| 28th November 1980 Todmordon West Yorkshire |
At around 5.00am, PC Alan Godfrey, who was checking out a routine call on a local estate, was driving up Burnley Road, when he saw what he thought was a bus across the road further ahead of him. He drove towards it, and realised that it wasn't actually a bus at all but a hovering dome like object, 20 feet wide, topped with a row of windows. He tried his radio and transmitter but they wouldn't work, and he made his way back to base. When he got back to the station he persuaded one of his colleagues to go with him to the site. They found that the area where the object had been hovering was dry even though the rest of the road was wet due to rainfall. A period of missing time persuaded him to undergo hypnotic regression, which revealed an alien abduction.
According to Jenny Randles, Alan remained open minded about the nature of his experiences, and stated that he could not be sure if the images from the regression hypnosis were real or imaginary.

| 29th December 1980, Rendlesham Forest |
The alleged crash site of a UFO in Rendlesham forest has so many ambiguities and contradictions that I am only going to briefly summarise. Basically a UFO was tracked on radar, and seemed to disappear over Rendlesham Forest. Security Police from RAF Woodbridge also saw lights come down between the trees. They went to investigate and are alleged to have come across a triangular shaped object, which glowed, had a bank of blue light underneath it, and a red light on top of it. This then moved away from the men, caused nearby farm animals to become agitated, and then flew off. The UFO is said to have left indentations in the ground, and also to have returned the following night.
From other aspects of the case it seems that certain amount of dis-information was given from military sources but the case is too complex to touch on here. Jenny Randles has written extensively about the Rendlesham, and her books are the best source for further research. |
