I first heard of The Rendlesham Forest Incident (can we just call it RFI from here on out? thank you) a few years back when I saw it re-enacted on some Discovery Channel UFO show which seemed to be repeated about 15 times a day every flipping day for several months. Because of this endless repetition, I quickly grew tired of the whole thing and forgot about it. But now Rendlesham's back, and this time I'm paying attention.
It's a pretty cool story, actually.... For three nights running in December, 1980, a whole bunch of US military men stationed at RAF Bentwater and RAF Woodbridge, two NATO air bases in the UK, were run ragged chasing a cone-shaped object that prowled around the bases and landed in the nearby Forest -- Rendlesham Forest, in fact. The object, which came to be known as "The Craft Of Unknown Origin," or COUO, was seen by 80 witnesses, and left behind "ground traces" and "radioactive anomalies." At one point, strange entities were seen outside the COUO, apparently attempting repairs. Also, a dog died.

Did this strange object kill a dog? If so, what else might it kill? |
Ultimately the COUO took off straight up into the sky at a speed that Penniston described in his log book as "IMPOSSIBLE!"
I'll tell you what else is impossible: Penniston will be showing off -- for the first time anywhere -- an actual model of the COUO! It took them 32 years to build a model of a cone? IMPOSSIBLE! Will there be models of the strange entities? Of the dead dog? Those are models I'd really like to see, and I think these chaps have had more than enough time to make them.
You can learn more about the RFI here... If you dare.
