The Forestry Commission has commissioned a model of a UFO to
be placed in Rendlesham Forest ;
it is based on the descriptions of the object given by the witnesses. The
life-size objet d'art was designed by
the sculptress Olivia English and is made of black metal. It has some symbols
on one of its flanks that are not meant to mean anything; "there's no
secret code- it's art", said Ms English. The Commission is determined to
remain "impartial" and has a long and almost hyperventilating
disclaimer in the promotional literature for the model, as it does for the
whole "Rendlesham UFO Trail", see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-29280298.The
local authorities around Rendlesham Forest
seem to be very ambivalent about their region's extraterrestrial folk history.
On the one hand, some of them have not missed attempting to exploit the
incident for the area's economic prosperity, as Roswell
has done (I personally challenge the moral objections to that, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/roswell-upon-avon.html),
however there is clearly a hesitant and aversive tendency still very much in
control. A few days before writing I attended the Rendlesham Forest Incident
Conference 2014, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/rendlesham-forest-2014.html,
and I was surprised to find that the venue, Woodbridge
Town Hall , had no UFO-themed banner
or posters on display outside; I found out that this was by order of the mayor's
office! I'm not suggesting there was anything sinister going on, I'm sure
Woodbridge has not seen any men in dark suits and sunglasses issuing threats,
but it's clear that the official ridicule and denial... which is a quote by the
way... is taking its toll. I look forward to the sculpture being erected in the
clearing in Rendlesham Forest
currently marked by a triangle of two-foot high posts; I'll probably go and
visit it. I'm glad that the Forestry Commission takes the Rendlesham Forest UFO
Incident at least seriously enough to fulfil a project like this; I hope it encourages
others to do the same. However there is one more problem. The clearing on the UFO
trail is often thought to be the place where the object landed on the first
night, during the Burroughs and Penniston sighting, but it's probably not. It's
actually close to the estimated location of the Halt sighting on the second
night, where Lt. Col. Charles Halt, the deputy commander of the base,
investigated a possible second landing site and saw a light shining through the
trees and recorded his famous live tape, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxdNsSwMeDQ.
The first night location has been extremely difficult to pin down, and there
are almost as many theories as there are theorists. If you take a look at the
UFO map of the area you'll see that the real place is most likely to be much
further to the west, close to the Woodbridge East Gate, see: http://roswellproof.homestead.com/rendlesham_pictorial.html.
I don't know if this error by the Forestry Commission is deliberate or
accidental; or if it's deliberate, what motive they have thereof?
