Raf Woodbridge - Suffolk April 2002/3

Famous in 1980 for being the location where a UFO may of landed between the twin base Bentwarers and here in Rendulsham forest. Vacated by the Americans in around 1993 and used as part time Army Practice area. It is massive and has a special wide crash runway like manston had.

I remember the UFO incident very well..you planning any updated reports on these cos if so,we will appreciate them.

Ah the infamous UFO incident. Did they ever get to the bottom of that or did the conspiracy theorists take
over ? I remember when the A10's were in residence here.

One of the best UFO incidents I heard was to do with RAF Binbrook - a Lightning flown by an American was sent to check out a reported UFO. There appeared to be some kind of encounter between the Lightning and UFO. Contact was made again with the pilot and he was ordered to ditch. The Lightning was next found on the sea bed with the pilot missing and the cockpit canopy closed - work that one out !!

This is worth a read -

I would love to go back and check this place out. There is a good book about the UFO called "Left as East Gate" which incidently is the gate house in the photo.

As an aside, Woodbridge was suggested as a base for 22 SAS-however they decided on RAF Credenhill in the end

And a completely different (and more believable) story here -

And an even more plausible report here, notable for the very last comment at the bottom of the page (which no doubt the conspiracy theorists will have an explanation for ) --

Thanks Walrus that makes for interesting reading.
