Special Effects remarkable event took place in late December of 1980. A strange object was seen on the ground by a security police group at a joint Royal Air Force/U.S. Air Force base in England called Wood- 153 bridge. The map shows the facility as an elongated zone with a twin base a few miles away at Bentwaters. Between the two bases is a wooded area called Rendlesham Forest. As a guard at Woodbridge Base, an American named Larry Warren said that he saw a UFO land in the forest. Dozens of other military men and a few civilians saw it, too. The commanding officer allegedly came out and interacted with the three occupants of the craft. There is no doubt, based on the documents in the affair, and on the very extensive investigation conducted by Jenny Randies, Dot Street, and Brenda Butler—and published in their book Sky Crash (London: Neville Spear- man, 1984)—that an extraordinary event did take place that night. But far from being an actual UFO, it may simply have marked another step in the deception.
