Rendlesham Forest UFO chase –
the route into the forest
Shown in orange is the route into
Rendlesham Forest taken by security guards John Burroughs,
Edward Cabansag and Jim Penniston on the first night of the
Rendlesham forest UFO incident, shortly after 3 am on 1980
December 26. In search of a light that had seemed to descend
into the trees, the airmen drove east from the East Gate of RAF
Woodbridge, turned right onto a public road and then left onto
a forest track. They left their vehicle some way down the
track, probably at the point labelled ‘vehicle
stop’ where the route divides, and proceeded on foot.
The orange dot labelled ‘landing
site’ on the eastern edge of the forest is the spot where
a
triangle of indentations was
found in the ground and examined by local police in daylight on
the morning of December 26. This was the area where Col Halt
took radiation measurements two nights later. To confuse the
issue, Penniston has subsequenly claimed to have encountered a
landed craft on the western side of the forest in the early
hours of December 27. However, there is no independent
confirmation of this later claim by Penniston.
