Orfordness lighthouse – a flasher in the forest
This page from the Engineer-in-chief’s department at Trinity House sets out the statistics for the lighthouse at
Orfordness (they write the name as one word) as it was in December 1980, when
the Rendlesham Forest UFO sighting occurred. This document was obtained by
researcher James Easton, who provided me with the scan.

Confirmation of the above figures comes from a Trinity House list of lighthouses
and their characteristics dated March 1981. The lighthouses are listed
alphabetically, and Orfordness is number 65. Various figures follow the name.
These figures denote, firstly, the four-digit reference number in the Admiralty
List of Lights; the years founded (1792) and last altered (1959); and the
intensity in millions of candelas (5.0). The notation “W.FL 5.0” denotes a white light flashing every 5 seconds. To download the full list,
click on the image.

The scan was kindly provided by Gerry Douglas-Sherwood, archivist of the
Association of Lighthouse Keepers.
