That's the Flat Earther attitude to Space. ;) A limit need not be a wall.

I'd emphasize the shift of one day. If there was no third night, then the day of interviewing Penniston and deciding on an investigation (mentioned by both Halt and Conrad) has no motive. And the Clarke/Conrad timeline gets this right. Conrad was uncertain here, not wrong. I also don't think...

Halt doesn't mention the party, but he does mention investigations by day, so there's no reason to assume the party episode would happen after the daytime investigation. Is there a problem with 3 nights of sightings? Do you suppose they turned the lighthouse off that one night?

Yeah. That supports the idea that the Conrad/Clarke timeline is correct, and that Halt's dates are off by a day.

Well, SP had seen it twice by then, and there was no obvious threat. So both recurrence and harmlessness seemed likely.

Not really. Early on the next day after the party: “Frankly at this point, Lt Col Halt and I were discussing what level of involvement was required from my office. We knew that silence would likely lead to allegation of cover up. With the rumor mill already operating it was a matter of time...

Conrad is uncertain whether the party was on the 26th or the 27th. If the party was on the 27th, then Penniston was debriefed on the 28th and Halt took his tape into the forest on the following night (28th/29th). Now compare what Halt wrote and signed: That's the exact same timeline. 27th in...

That's why nobody has proposed that. It's either a) Halt makes a hasty exit, collects equipment and a crew, and is in the forest 4 hours later, or b) Halt makes a hasty exit, checks out the SP's story, and talks to Conrad in the morning about doing a full investigation the next night (with the...

I don't believe that's a gamble in any way.

We might as well speculate that he saw some lights on the first night, but found he couldn't take notes in the dark and therefore took the tape recorder with him on the second night. For the tape, Halt wasn't concerned with narrating what had happened before; rather, he wanted to create a record...

that's not really an indication of truth the question is, what are the sources (log entries etc.) that back either version up? I have no problem believing that Halt was out all night finding nothing in the dark, and then resolved to get equipment and a team and investigate properly the next...

Well, at least one thing is clear: it's either a deliberate hoax, or a real thylacine. Not many cases where the options are so clear.

Apparently not. “All was normal for the [26 December 1980] security police [hereafter SP] night shift at Woodbridge until the very early hours.

Col. Conrad's timeline. Clarke says he saw supporting documents, and I doubt Conrad misremembers when their Boxing Day party was. https://drdavidclarke.co.uk/rendlesham-forest-ufos/ It is apparent that Col Conrad’s recall of the precise chronology is slightly different from what has been...

According to Col. Conrad's recollection cited above (he was the base commander at the time), the party was interrupted at 21:30 on the night before Halt undertook his expedition; he had a whole day to get his team and equipment together. I expect that if the horizon was at the bottom of your...

and here I was, thinking you intended to present a logical argument if your stance is, "don't argue with me, I'm beyond logic", there's really nothing in the way of dismissing your hypothesis directly

first time mentioned on the tape is "ENGLUND: At approximately 01.25 hours...", and they hadn't seen any lights yet. Col. Conrad put the start of the tape at 0200 (see above), which may be approximate. Either way, not 0:30 by a long stretch. I also note you skillfully cropped out the moon.

Found the "source". Some time ago a person who claims to be a SAS insider wrote to me after he saw me talking about Rendlesham on a TV documentary. I will call him Frank. His motive? It was ‘about time that the truth is revealed’ about the incident. I investigated his incredible story by...

There's a lack of sources. From the Telegraph: Historic British UFO mystery was 'prank played on US air force by SAS' Telegraph Reporters, 30 December 2018 • 8:14pm British X-Files expert Dr David Clarke, who has been researching the story for three years, revealed: “After their release, the...

David Clarke's new material is at https://drdavidclarke.co.uk/rendlesham-forest-ufos/ , the blogspot content is out of date. It is apparent that Col Conrad’s recall of the precise chronology is slightly different from what has been established from the contemporaneous documents. Charles Halt’s...
