Cold War Base Context
- RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge were Cold War US‑operated bases key to NATO air defense on England's east coast.
- Their strategic role made any unexplained activity nearby a serious security concern for personnel on site.
First Patrol Sighting
- Airman John Burroughs spotted red and blue pulsing lights in Rendlesham Forest and alerted Staff Sergeant Bud Stevens.
- They drove toward the lights, saw a white light join, and returned to report the possible crash via secure landline.
Close Encounter In The Clearing
