The Rendlesham UFO Encounter and the Alien Message from the Future
this episode of the y-files is brought. to you by pdsdet. the night after Christmas 1980 was the. last time Airman First Class John. Burroughs would ever lead a normal life. he was on patrol at American operated. Woodbridge Air Force Base in Southern. England Woodbridge and nearby bent. Waters called the twin bases were. rumored to possess nuclear materials. this was the middle of the Cold War and. tensions were high. threat of nuclear attack Global. escalation and more sat heavy on the.
shoulders of Burroughs and his fellow. servicemen but their job was simple keep. themselves their nation and their allies. safe. so Burrows conducted his nightly rounds. checking the perimeter for anything that. threatened the peace suddenly a bright. light descended from the sky and then. another Burroughs watched as the lights. fell into the forest surrounding the. base when he and his team arrived to. inspect the crash site they were worried. it was a Soviet incursion but what they. found was far more terrifying than.
Soviets. [Music]. you got to be kidding me human. there are so many things in that.
statement. spoke camel van it means custom-made I. know what bespoke means. important it is to pay these guys on. time so chop chop with the bread Jack. why are you buying a custom camel van. and why do you need my power washer why. do you need my power washer back then. why do you need it. all right all right look everything is. so expensive right now and I pay my. bills every month and it doesn't even. make a dent so I needed it I needed a.
side gig which I wouldn't need if you. gave me a raise but no you guys I can. hear you but I'd come up with a great. business idea oh this is gonna be good. yeah I'm starting a mobile camera. grooming service I'm calling it. pump and brush. while I give you the cleanest hump in. town after I finish you'll smell great.
yeah. um I know I'm gonna. so the power washer. washer look I'm not coughing up anything. will you just call PDS and have them. take care of your debt so you can be. here doing your actual job. [Music]. yes why yes. yes it is they have options for anyone. struggling with a lot of monthly debt. payments credit cards personal loans. collections medical bills everyone with. over ten thousand dollars or more.
ineligible debt qualifies uh but my. credit. dirty camel there's no minimum credit. score required bad and Fair Credit is. accepted they roll your debt into one. low zero percent interest monthly. payment you can save thousands in. interest and fees and pay off your debt. in a fraction of the time it sounds. perfect and PDS is giving our qualified. viewers a free debt analysis just for. completing the 30-second online. assessment at.
www.pdsdebt.com files and it's. pdsdebt.com you got it okay I'm going in. now but I'm still gonna send gertio up. for the power washing at this show she. needs a bath and she doesn't fit in my. tub no oh you had that walk-in shower. that's even better just make sure you. scrub really good behind your ears she. really likes that she said make you. happy to give you a bath he's a naughty. little hump scrubber do not send her.
here I'm not gonna wash your camel. mmm. it all started around 3 A.M on December. 26 1980. U.S Airmen first class John. Burroughs and staff sergeant Bud stefans. were on patrol near the east gate at the. Woodbridge base it was a slow night but. soon they felt uneasy there was static. electricity in the air suddenly a light.
descended from the sky into rendersham. Forest Landing about half a mile from. the end of the base's main Runway and. then another light the lights were. flashing red and blue green and yellow. on and off and at first they thought it. must be a downed aircraft but no one. heard a crash there was no sound of any. kind. Burroughs and Stefan called in the. situation from the guard shack they. didn't want anyone to hear their report. on an unsecure radio just in case the. crash needed to be dealt with quietly. remember this was the Cold War and the.
servicemen weren't sure what they were. dealing with yet staff sergeant Jim. peniston was the on-duty flight Chief at. Woodbridge he grabbed Airmen Edward. cabansag and they headed to the east. gate to get a clear picture of the. situation all four men agreed that the. lights must have been a downed aircraft. but why didn't it make a sound something. so close to the twin bases would have. alerted plenty of personnel it would. have been impossible to miss they. checked in with both bases nobody at. Woodbridge or bentwater saw or heard.
anything they called RAF bodzie they. called RAF Watton they even checked in. with Heathrow Airport to see if anyone. reported a downed aircraft in the area. nothing but something strange did show. up on radar about 15 minutes before the. lights fell into rentals from forest a. radar operator reported a bogey. Humphrey Bogut a bogey is an unknown. aircraft. that makes more sense. the bogey was lost from radar directly. over the base.
then orders came down go check it out. the four men drove out to the east gate. and down a public road mostly used for. logging and hiking the road connected to. a trail that led deeper inside the. forest toward the crash but as soon as. they hit the trail their communication. equipment started to malfunction it was. like a Jammer or something interfering. with the frequencies the radio still. worked but only over very short. distances anything farther than a few. feet was nothing but static now in the. distance they could hear farm animals.
going crazy all around them wild animals. sounded like they were screaming. screaming like humans. [Applause]. ah. and they admitted this terrified them. and all the time they'd lived in and. around twin bases they'd never heard. anything like this they kept walking for. a few minutes before They Came Upon a. small clearing and as soon as they. stepped out of the trees an explosion of. light hit them the light was blinding. even though it was the middle of the.
night the area was lit up like the day. they shielded their eyes and finally saw. the source of the light it was coming. from a craft. triangular shaped craft made no sound. and when the men took a step toward it. the animals stopped screaming Clarice. have the land stop screaming you want me. to tell the story or not sorry I. couldn't help it the feeling of. electricity was now everywhere peniston.
said he could feel it on his skin he. rubs the lotion on its skin or else it. gets the hose again. when peniston got closer he saw symbols. that look like hieroglyphics engraved on. the side he ran his hand along the. exterior of the craft the metal was. smooth and warm to the touch the symbols. whatever they were felt like sandpaper. as peniston drew his hand away. everything went bright white it took a. second for his vision to return and when.
it did he grabbed his notebook and wrote. down as many details as possible. including diagrams after a few minutes. the craft slowly started to lift into. the sky still silent it took two or. three minutes to clear the tree level. peniston wrote about the liftoff in his. notebook I estimated it to be about. three meters tall and about three meters. wide at the base no landing gear was. apparent but it seemed like she was on. fixed legs I moved a little closer I. walked around the craft and finally I.
walked right up to the craft I noticed. the fabric of the shell was more like a. smooth opaque black glass. where the craft had landed they saw a. few indentations in the ground but not. much else as they made their way back to. the others pennison made the comment. that the experience lasted a few minutes. Burrows stopped confused for him it was. only a few seconds and that was weird. they finally got to the end of the trail. but everybody was gone cabinsag Chandler. and six other military personnel were.
all the way back on the road and in a. state of panic in the commotion someone. radioed Woodbridge to report Burrows and. peniston were found safe and Alive they. could call off the search parties search. party yeah peniston and Burrows didn't. understand they were just a short walk. down the path and they were out of. contact for just a few minutes. that's not what everyone else. experienced. when Burrows and peniston disappeared. into the forest they were gone for. almost 45 minutes.
then peniston felt dizzy and uneasy on. his feet and though he didn't admit it. at the time this is when the vision. started. records show the American Military. called British authorities on December. 26th an hour after the first sighting at. 4 AM local police were called to the. location but the only lights they could. see were from the Orford Nest Lighthouse. a few miles away.
we have a sighting of someone who. unusual lights. around 5am Deputy based Commander. Lieutenant Colonel Charles I halt. arrived on the scene halt was 41 years. old at the time and had served in. Vietnam and Korea he had no time for UFO. stories and was annoyed that his men. were getting distracted by such nonsense. and believing this was all nonsense halt. ordered a staff sergeant to add. information to the ship's logs using.
vague terminology but it didn't matter. what was written in the logs by the. early morning it seemed like everyone. knew a UFO had landed nearby during the. night before Daybreak a group of men. went back to the site to take. measurements and photographs the three. indentations peniston and burro saw were. still there it was the middle of winter. and the ground was frozen solid so. whatever created these indentations must. have been incredibly heavy once they. were done gathering information the men. returned to base and went about their. business peniston drove home and tried.
to catch up on sleep but he couldn't. relax he felt compelled to go back to. the landing site like his entire body. was telling him to return so he did. pennison brought plaster of Paris to. take a mold of the indentations of the. landing marks he wanted physical proof. of what happened to him so he can prove. to himself that he wasn't crazy. the rest of December 26th was uneventful. as was most of December 27th but that. evening the base had its annual Awards. dinner and most of the officers were in.
attendance including Colonel halt in the. middle of the event the on-duty shift. Commander burst through the door his. face was pale and he looked like he was. in shock he made a beeline for halt and. whispered sir. it's back. halt assembled a team to investigate the. men gathered handheld cassette recorders. cameras and even a geiger counter to. measure radiation Hall was known for. carrying a tape recorder wherever he.
went and recorded the investigation in. real time. when they got to The Landing site the. three indentations in the ground were. the craft allegedly landed were throwing. off radiation.
trees around the site were discolored. and there were odd abrasions on the. trunks. hey.
Paul ordered samples from the trees to. be taken for analysis but the team had. to be careful the trees were also. throwing off radiation. and viewing the scene through thermal. imaging showed that the trees and. landing area were warmer than the rest. of the environment. you aren't getting an indication of a. heat Source coming out of that satisfied. and just before 2 am something spooked. the animals of rendersham forest again.
[Music]. a small red light appeared between the. trees and the Animals fell silent and it. was deathly calm the red light hovered. over the clearing it started to move. through the trees so Halt and a few. others followed it.
this is weird. now two lights appeared both shooting. off yellow Sparks and they moved back. and forth like a blinking eye. twice in the sky. there's.
and then things got intense you can hear. halt crying out on the tape that a beam. of light just struck the ground 10 feet. in front of his team. are coming down to the ground. the light was described like a laser it. wasn't damaging anything but the men got. the impression that it was scanning for. something now we still don't know if.
there were nuclear weapons stored at. Twin bases but this would only be one of. many UFO encounters at a nuclear. facility local police were also busy. responding to reports of strange lights. all over the county but as quickly as. they showed up the Rendell shim UFOs. were gone the witnesses had no answers. they were left with only questions. but they were left with more than that. I was very skeptical I found what had.
allegedly taken place hard to believe. [Applause]. and as events unfolded I became more and. more concerned that there may be. something to this I kept telling myself. that there had to be some type of an. explanation for it but I certainly. couldn't find one even to this day I I. can't explain what happened. in the months after the incident. Burroughs peniston and others started. experiencing health problems Burrow's. eyes were deteriorating he had throat.
issues he developed a heart condition. years later a specialist told Burrows. that his symptoms are usually found in. people exposed to high levels of. radiation now Burroughs remembered the. high radiation readings in rendelson. Forest he requested his medical records. from the Air Force but the request was. refused and this was years after he. retired from service and at one point. the military wouldn't even admit the. boroughs had served all information on. him was considered top secret doctors. later identified the cause of burrows.
injuries as Broadband non-ionizing. electromagnetic radiation now this could. occur if you're exposed to ultraviolet. infrared or high-powered microwave. energy the military now had no choice. but to acknowledge the situation. the US government finally admitted that. the servicemen suffered serious health. problems and a few of them were even. granted medical disability but many of. Burroughs medical records are still. classified to this day. Sergeant Jim pennison also experienced. after effects from the UFO encounter now.
he was never the same after that flash. of white light he saw while touching the. craft and that night when he was going. over his notes and diagrams he started. to feel sick and then he had visions of. ones and zeros he had no idea what they. meant or what was happening to him but. the numbers were so vivid he started. writing them down and the more he wrote. the better he felt then finally the. vision stopped Jim put his notebook away. and didn't think about it again for. another 30 years he completely forgotten. about writing down all those ones and.
zeros but in 2010 he pulled out his. notebook for an interview he wanted to. show the symbols that he saw on the. craft. as he was thumbing through the notebook. he came across the pages with the. numbers the interviewer said wait what's. that and Jim peniston was nonchalant. about it he said oh that was information. downloaded to me from the UFO Jim was. asked if it was binary code but he. didn't know what that was so they sent. the numbers to a computer expert to see. if there was anything to it now they. didn't tell the computer guy anything. they just said here are a bunch of.
numbers tell us what you think. the tech couldn't believe it it was a. message. from the future. [Music]. for 30 years Jim peniston had a binary. message transmitted to his brain from a. UFO and he didn't know it. this is what it said. exploration of humanity continuous. continuous for planetary Advance eyes of.
our eyes origin year 8100. and if that doesn't blow your mind how. about this the rest of the message is a. list of coordinates for locations all. over the planet. caracal Brazil. Sedona Arizona. the Great Pyramid of Giza. the Nazca Lines in Peru. mount taishan in China. the Temple of Apollo in Greece.
and this final location is labeled the. origin wait what in the middle of the. ocean yes but this location might not. have always been ocean there is a. mythical island called high Brazil that. was allegedly here at one time high. Brazil is a phantom Island which is an. island that appears on maps for a period. of time but is later found to not exist. High Brazil appeared on maps for. hundreds of years including the famous. pure Reese map which was based on much. much older Maps researchers and. archaeologists have searched extensively.
for the island and there is evidence. that Islands once existed there shallow. water shelves have been found at. porcupine Bank Northwest of Ireland and. similar shelves were discovered at Rock. Hall further north. all of the locations in the binary code. are known as highly spiritual places but. they've also been called portals to. other dimensions or to other planes of. reality because of this Jim peniston. doesn't think the rendelsham UFO was. extraterrestrial he thinks it was us he.
thinks this was a message from humans. from 6 000 years in the future and. that's becoming a more common theory. regarding the recent UFO activity and. I've noticed that NASA is being very. cute about their explanations they said. just this week that there's no evidence. that any uaps are extraterrestrial in. origin but they still don't know what. they are to me that sounds like NASA. thinks it's possible that the uaps are. not from another planet but from this. planet now maybe an ancient race of.
humanoids have existed here for. thousands or millions of years and now. they're making themselves known or maybe. like Jim peniston believes were being. visited by our future selves. the big question is why why now it feels. like they're trying to warn us of. something and because UFOs seem to be. very interested in what we're doing to. the planet and extremely interested in. what we're doing with nuclear technology. the warning is pretty serious so let's. hope these UFOs really are from outer. space because then they're warning us of.
a disaster that could happen if the. warnings are from us in the future then. whatever disaster they're afraid of it's. already happened and considering what's. going on in the world right now I don't. think there's any way to stop it. [Music]. physical evidence audio recordings. countless high-ranking U.S military. Witnesses the rendersham forest UFO. incident has it all. but is any of it true well the answer.
like in many UFO cases is it's. complicated so let's start with the big. picture are there official records of an. unknown object in rendersham Forest on. December 26th and December 28 1980 yes. is there evidence from the original. investigation corroborating the UFO. story. yes but there are issues there's a. discrepancy over the date of the first. sighting all of the official witness. statements say the lights first appeared. on December 26th except one peniston's.
statement is undated and both he and. Hulk wrote independently the date of the. first sighting was actually December. 27th the following night halt didn't. even file an official statement with the. military he wrote a memo on January 13. 1981 after taking statements from. peniston Burroughs kabansag Chandler and. others but some of the witnesses said. their statements were Rewritten and they. were forced to sign in borough's witness. statement he said the light came from. the nearby Lighthouse and that's that.
commandsex statement says the same thing. the orfordness lighthouse is visible. from The Landing site on the Eastern. edge of renderson forest the exact. Direction the men saw the lights the. blue and red lights well Burrows said it. was probably just local police checking. out the scene peniston is the only. witness who claimed to encounter the. craft he said he got within 50 meters of. it but it flew back every time he got. closer and later that story changed. peniston is the only one who reported.
missing time and he didn't report this. until years later and only after he went. through regression hypnosis in 1994. hey. I'm not sure if regression hypnosis is. finding lost memories or creating new. ones whoa it's all right sweetheart what. is it oh there's like 20 of them it was. during hypnosis when the details about. touching the craft and the symbols got. added to the story peniston and Burrows. both have changed their stories a lot. over the years there was a very strange.
feeling in the air Colonel halt is. always portrayed as this by the book. hard-nosed military commander but there. are questions about him too halt is. quoted as saying during debriefing. witnesses to the rendersham UFO incident. were subjected to mind control efforts. using drugs and hypnosis by the British. and American authorities now no one else. makes this claim and it wasn't mentioned. until years later a lot of data halt. said existed no longer does well a lot. of people say that and it could be but.
halt's famous audio recordings are in. his possession and he says he's got the. whole night four or five hours on tape. but he's only released 18 minutes of. audio and those 18 minutes are edited he. refuses to release anything else. a pennison's notebook is also a problem. other Witnesses say there's no way he. could have written anything down he. wasn't at the site long enough the notes. also don't line up with the other. witness statements even the date is. wrong now there are plenty of details.
and witness statements that do line up. but a lot of those can be explained halt. said the reddish yellow light he saw. through the trees would appear every. five seconds now we can hear this on the. tape but the light from the lighthouse. was visible through the trees and it was. set for a five second rotation cabansag. also mentioned this pulsing light but. the light he saw was confirmed to be the. lighthouse. whenever the rendelstrom story comes up. we only hear from the witnesses who. confirm the story as true rarely do we.
hear from the many witnesses who claim. there were no UFOs but those Witnesses. do exist and they too have given sworn. statements there was absolutely nothing. in the woods we could see lights in the. distance and it appeared unusual as it. was a sweeping light contrary to what. some people assert at the time almost. none of us knew there was a lighthouse. at orfordness. remember the vast majority of folks. involved were young people 19 20 25. years old that's one reason the lights. appeared interesting or out of the. ordinary to some people.
government Shield maybe the marks in the. trees were confirmed to be Hatchet marks. indicating to Foresters which trees to. cut down the high levels of radiation. actually weren't high at all even the. highest readings were within the normal. range for background radiation the. indentations in the ground weren't all. that deep locals say they were made by. animals now speaking of animals the. screaming in the forest is a creepy. detail of the story but it was probably. a deer oh it did scream Munchak deer do.
yeah on a dark cold night in December. when you think you're chasing a UFO. hearing that sound from the woods would. be terrifying but these deer live in. rendlesham Forest the locals heard them. all the time but we don't have these in. the U.S and remember even though this. event happened in England all the. witnesses were American.
in 2018 former members of the SAS. British Special Forces said the whole. thing was a prank in 1980 SAS had tested. the security of the base by parachuting. in they got caught remember this was. potentially a nuclear base this was the. hot row here. where weapons were stored in the ATF for. our team facility down there so the. British paratroopers were roughed up and. interrogated for 18 hours to make sure. this wasn't a Soviet ruse the British. soldiers didn't report the incident. which is not surprising competition.
between Military Allies is always fierce. but you don't rat on fellow soldiers. but the SAS got their Revenge they said. they staged the whole incident and it. got out of hand now this seems like a. good explanation but I still can't find. any actual names there are a lot of. anonymous sources but the British. couldn't beam computer code into this. guy's brain Tennyson right there are. lots of problems with that notebook and. the whole binary code story he said he.
forgot about the code and only. remembered it in 2010 during a. documentary shoot but you can see him. flipping through the notebook on TV as. early as 2003. now I guess he only. flipped halfway through the notebook and. then was like yeah I'm good. now suddenly in 2010 during another. presumably paid TV gig now there's. binary code and it's code that. translates into English and I always. have a problem with aliens sending code. in English it seems too specific and. unlikely I prefer when they communicate.
with math like in the movie contact okay. 101 the pulse sequence through every. prime number between 2 and 101 but some. people say they speak English because. they know that's what we understand fine. I guess. the binary code was ASCII encoded ASCII. is an American standard for encoding. text it existed in 1980 but it wasn't. commonly used plus the ASCII character. set has gone through multiple changes. over the years when this code was. downloaded into peniston's brain the.
standard was 7 bits but the message. wasn't coded using 8 Bits which was the. standard but years later. a bunch of people with no. with no that's true they would. people who translated the code they took. some liberties. [Music]. they said it was this. but it actually translates to this. fragments of words no coordinates.
[Music]. we need more pizza whatever. hey I'm trying work with me here and. remember how peniston sees a flash of. light goes into a little bit of a trance. and then has this binary code suddenly. in his head yeah well that's the exact. plot from an X-Files episode oh no the. episode is called conduit and aired in. 1993. many years before peniston said. anything about binary code oh I'm really.
annoyed right now yeah there are a lot. of problems with the rendersham story. now when you consider how many people. were involved in the incident it was. always going to be impossible to know. the truth everyone has their own version. of events whether we like it or not. that's human nature those who are. pro-ufo use the many high-ranking. military eyewitnesses as proof and. ignore all the conflicting evidence any. evidence that's missing well it's a. cover-up and those who are anti-ufo just. see the data attempting to debunk the. incident and they consider nothing else.
valid the truth is probably somewhere in. the middle. and there is another possibility that. the rendelshim UFO incident could have. been part of a counterintelligence. operation. government disinformation is one of the. most frustrating parts of UFO research. counterintelligence officers like former. Air Force OSI agent Richard Doty insert. themselves into events like the one in. rendlesham Forest then they spread just. enough chaos rumors and crazy to confuse. a situation and Dodie openly admits it.
was his job to lead the public away from. the truth to discredit the reputations. of those involved and ensure that even. true information is met with skepticism. in the early 1980s the Air Force was. ramping up UFO disinformation campaigns. and Dodie was a big part of that. whistleblower David grush has suddenly. appeared now that UFOs are mainstream. news but remember he also worked in the. Air Force as a Counter Intelligence. officer and everything he says publicly.
is approved by the Pentagon first and. because of how successful. counterintelligence operations are at. covering up real events will likely. never know the full truth about the. rendelsham UFO incident but that doesn't. mean we shouldn't stop looking and when. Military Intelligence whistleblowers. show up I'm skeptical but I also want to. hear them out because contrary to what. the military thinks they're not smarter. than we are their house of cards is. built with lies and it only takes one. piece of evidence one witness or one.
mistake and the whole thing comes. crashing down and me.
