Fun in Rendlesham Forest

What? Pluto.com as opposed to Mars.com?

Hot on the heels of this “story” came an e-mail from a well-known (to me) conspiracy theorist nut-job on this very subject…
It was the same pillock who has e-mailed me regarding the so-called “Howden Moor Incident” only this latest e-mail was from a different address, but still signed with the same name.

Often there is another explanation for these ‘UFO’ sightings at military bases.

For example, before satellite imagery and high-flying reconnaissance aircraft, the only way to get aerial photographs of the Soviet Union was to send high-flying balloons equipped with cameras up into the jet-stream. Now these balloons were huge hydrogen-filled things that were difficult to launch in any conditions of wind so were typically launched in the still evening air. It was also important that the Soviets didn’t know that they were being photographed from the air as this would lead them to better hide their activities so it was important that the launches of these huge balloons was done as secretly as possible so they were launched at night so they wouldn’t be seen by the local population. And the launching sites needed to be to the west of the Soviet border but far enough away from it so that the balloon would reach it operational height before it was over Soviet airspace; somewhere like the east coast of Britain.

So how does the military explain a huge balloon being inflated at night, illuminated by powerful lighting?

Well, one way could be to put-on some sort of light-show and some fake ‘UFO’ display and then deny the existence of any such thing as a ‘UFO’. Now this will attract all sorts of attention from ‘UFO enthusiasts’ who will accuse the military of a cover-up; they’ll be right, of course, but the military aren’t covering-up UFO activity, they are covering-up something else…..something else that is so secret that nobody is likely to guess what it is…

…especially if they want it to be little green men!

Of course…..that may just be what they want you to think!!!

This programme was repeated this week: http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2013-11-20/itv-programme-to-revisit-famous-suffolk-ufo-sighting/

A book by Nick Pope?

This would be the same Nick Pope who worked at the MOD on the ‘UFO Desk’ and is considered to be ‘the foremost expert on UFOs in the country’?

Would this be the same Nick Pope that once identified an out-of-focus photograph of a bird as one of the most significant photographs of a UFO ever taken in the United Kingdom and even thought he could detect a ‘metallic’ surface on the ‘UFO’?

Not sure I’ll be buying that book! :rolleyes:

I didn’t see David Icke’s name referred to…….
