Saw this floating about earlier today, and I've been digging through the newly released Freedom of Information documents from the Ministry of Defence. There's a curious correspondence from 1984 between RAF Rendlesham and Porton Down (chemical weapons research facility, officially) that's been heavily redacted but the skeleton of the memo is still visible.

The interesting bit: mentions of "biological sample analysis" and "unidentified substrate examination" dated three weeks after the famous Rendlesham Forest incident. The dates don't quite line up with the official narrative, which always said the whole thing was concluded within days.

I'm not saying anything mad, but the government's timeline on Rendlesham has always been dodgy. Has anyone else clocked this document yet? Am I reading too much into it, or is this a proper smoking gun?

Can you link to which specific document you're talking about? I've been following Rendlesham stuff for years and haven't seen anything about Porton Down involvement. There are so many redacted bits in the released files that connecting them is basically speculative at this point.

This is precisely the kind of thing the MoD would redact even if it was completely mundane. They're paranoid about everything. I wouldn't read too much into it without more concrete evidence.

The Rendlesham timeline has ALWAYS been suspicious. The official story doesn't match the declassified USAF accounts. And Porton Down's involvement in various cover-ups is well documented. If samples were being analyzed, that suggests they found something physical. That's massive.

I've requested the full unredacted files from MoD twice and got nowhere. The "official" released documents are barely useful because of all the black marker. We need a proper FOIA solicitor to push for the complete versions. Anyone know any good ones based in the UK?
