I'm planning to go next spring actually! If you coordinate dates we could make a proper night of it. I've got EMF meters and thermal imaging equipment - nothing fancy, but decent enough.

The withheld files almost certainly contain either A) evidence of classified human technology being misidentified as UFOs, which is embarrassing to military hierarchy, or B) genuine anomalous data...
One minute they're saying it was a UFO, next minute it's a secret military test.This is exactly why the case is brilliant though? It's genuinely unclear! That's the whole point.

Price's investigations are actually heavily disputed these days. Recent scholarship suggests a lot of his "evidence" was either misinterpreted or outright fabricated to boost book sales.

The Pentagon has essentially admitted they don't know what's in their skies.This is the crucial bit, innit.
Not sure if everyone's seen this, but the National Archives released some declassified testimonies from RAF Bentwaters personnel last month regarding the December 1980 incident.
You're absolutely right to emphasise baseline readings. Without context, EMF data is worthless. I spend at least 30 minutes doing baseline sweeps before any proper investigation begins.

I've seen so many ghost hunts where people wave an EMF meter around like a metal detector and go "ooh, it's flickering, must be ghosts." This drives me absolutely mental because it's not how the...
You're wrong, mate. The documentary literally shows new testimonies from Rendlesham personnel who've never spoken publicly. The declassified documents are all there.
Classic institutional behaviour. Once something's classified, there's no incentive to declassify it - every released file is a potential embarrassment, even if it's completely innocuous.
Visited it about three years back. It's essentially just a patch of farmland now - very ordinary, bit disappointing to be honest.

Completely agree with you. I've read Left at East Gate cover to cover twice, and honestly? The documentary is a dumbed-down version that cherry-picks the spooky bits.
The US hasn't really released anything substantive though - they've just repackaged existing classified material with a PR spin.
Bit of a long shot, but I'm planning a road trip through Essex next month and I'm wondering if anyone's been to the Borley Rectory location recently.
Rendlesham was likely the Orfordness lighthouse beam misidentification, honestly. The declassified documents show the timeline matches up pretty well.

Don't let anyone pressure you into buying expensive kit straightaway. Some of the best investigators started with just a notebook and a good torch.

This is genuinely frustrating me. We've had FOIA requests, parliamentary inquiries, academic freedom of information appeals - and the MoD still sits on massive portions of their UFO documentation...
Here's the uncomfortable truth: 95% of these cases are explainable by draughts, settling foundations, mice in the walls, or psychological suggestion. Your partner's skepticism is actually healthy.

I think the reason we don't have footage is simple: cameras in 1980 were bulky, slow to set up, and required film. Modern phones are instant.
Right, so I've been meaning to watch The Rendlesham Forest Incident Revisited (BBC, 2019) for ages, and I finally got round to it last night with a cuppa and a biscuit.
