00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.879
Hey, a girl friends, It's me Adrian or Aiden. Either way,
2
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.120
I am still your host, but you are not listening
3
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.960
to SUSTO this week. Welcome to the twenty twenty five
4
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.799
Sustal Swapathon. That is right, I feel like I primed
5
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.240
you already for this. I gave you all the heads
6
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.840
up in the month of December. I am taking time
7
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.079
off from the production cycle of Sustal and I am
8
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.920
bringing to you shows that I think that you will
9
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.560
enjoy as much as I do. So I'm sorry you're
10
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.039
probably gonna get sick of hearing this specific introduction for
11
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.240
these next couple weeks throughout December, but I just wanted
12
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.079
to make sure to mind you all about what is
13
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:03.399
going on, so that when you hear this, you're not like,
14
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:04.200
what the hell?
15
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.599
Where is Aiden? Did he ghost us? You get it kidding?
16
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.560
I would never do that to you. However, I would
17
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.359
like to introduce you to some more content and more
18
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:14.840
creators that I really think that you would enjoy. If
19
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.000
you do, please make sure that you go to these
20
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.200
shows pages, that you follow them wherever they are available.
21
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:21.519
And yeah, I will be.
22
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.239
Back in twenty twenty six. I hope that you are
23
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.760
having a wonderful holiday season. As I mentioned before the
24
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.560
break started, I listen. I'm still online, so just because
25
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.640
there are no new Sustal episodes, believe me, y'all know
26
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.920
I'm chronically online, so you can find me on there.
27
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.799
Feel free to send me a message, send me an email.
28
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.439
I love hearing from you all, and continue to send
29
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.840
in your letters from the beyond by visiting sustalpodcast dot
30
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:44.760
com or my link tree so that we can have
31
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.400
some fun stuff to talk about come twenty twenty six,
32
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.239
which I can't believe that this year happened already. That's
33
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.480
wild to me. Anyway, we're gonna go ahead and get
34
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.280
into today's feature. I really hope that you enjoy it
35
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.760
and I will see you all in the next year.
36
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:13.879
Bye.
37
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.680
Hello, CISTO podcast listeners. My name is Ryan Sprague and
38
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.280
I'm the host of the Summer in the s Guy's podcast,
39
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.879
where every week we tackle the UFO subject from every angle,
40
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.800
whether it's through case histories, interviews, call in shows where
41
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.680
you tell your UFO stories, and so much more. We
42
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.759
attempt to get to the heart of this mystery, one UFO.
43
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.719
Sighting at a time.
44
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.120
So today I want to bring you a special episode
45
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.520
of the Summer on This Guy's podcast where we cover
46
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:53.560
the Renders from Forest UFO incident where over sixty military
47
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.120
personnel witnessed a craft of unknown origin land in a
48
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.919
forest in England back in nineteen eighty. It's by far
49
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.719
one of my favorite episodes we've ever done, and I
50
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.840
really hope you enjoy it. My special thanks to see
51
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.159

59
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:40.240
us as we continue to probe these mysteries somewhere in
60
00:03:40.319 --> 00:04:01.520
the skies. RAF Woodbridge in RAF Bentwater were known as
61
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.639
the Twin Bases, separated by an area of woodland called
62
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:11.280
Rendalshum Forest. The two installations in Suffolk, Southeast England, were
63
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:16.160
perhaps the United States' most important military complexes during the
64
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.639
Cold War. And they held a dark secret. Even today,
65
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.199
it's not officially acknowledged that nuclear weapons were being stored
66
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.680
at the basis, a complete violation of the US and
67
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:34.879
UK's treaty obligations. But another secret was being held in
68
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.120
that forest, and almost forty years later it remains one
69
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.399
of the most famous UFO cases of all time. This
70
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.240
is the story of the incident in Rendelshrom Forest.
71
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.879
While our government's official position is not to speculate on
72
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.160
this subject, we can choose to let our minds explore
73
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:02.600
other possibilities. The usual reminded. For if we consider the
74
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.920
astroscientists agree on one point that the possibility of life
75
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.079
elsewhere is not only quite probable in some field, that
76
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.319
is there without a doubt. Let us suppose then, that
77
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.560
these objects are wheeled space vehicles extraterrestrial origin.
78
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:29.759
And not an illusion of the mind.
79
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.959
I'm Ryan, spread and you are now somewhere in the skies.
80
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.600
It was a rather quiet and cold night in nineteen eighty.
81
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.959
It's probably not much fun to be on security duty
82
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.639
on Christmas night, thousands of miles from home in a
83
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:07.680
cold British military base in England. Twenty year old American
84
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.480
patrol sergeant John Burrows had the short straw that night
85
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.560
guarding RF Woodbridge's lonely East gate, which edged into the
86
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:21.040
dark woods of the neighboring Rendosham Forest. As the twenty
87
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.519
fifth turned into the twenty sixth, Burrows looked out into
88
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:29.639
the darkness and saw something strange. Colored lights appeared to
89
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.680
be hovering and dancing over the trees. Was this some
90
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:38.120
sort of Christmas display? Burrows had an uneasy feeling that
91
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.480
it was something unusual and drove back to the gatehouse
92
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:47.480
to inform the security controller. Security policeman Jim Penison joined
93
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.920
Burrows at the gate to observe the lights. In his
94
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.720
two years of working at the base, the twenty six
95
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.439
year old Peniston had never seen lights in the Rendosham
96
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:02.319
Woods before, but had witness said small aircraft crashes during
97
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.519
his career and felt that this might explain what the
98
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.000
men were seeing. Relating this possibility to the security tower,
99
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.319
at around three am, Penistin, Burrows, and fellow airman Ed
100
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.120
Cabanseg were given permission to venture out into the forest
101
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.040
to investigate.
102
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.839
I then ordered Derman cabanzac a one Ce Burrows to
103
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.519
respond with new off site. When we arrived to the
104
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.600
spected crash site. They quickly became apparent that we were
105
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.879
not dealing with a plane crash, or, for that matter,
106
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.519
anything else we've ever responded to. There was a bright
107
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:41.439
light emanating from an object on the forest floor. As
108
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.279
we approached it on foot, a silhouette triangle craft about
109
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.519
nine feet long six and a half feet high came
110
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.040
into view. The craft was fully intact and sitting in
111
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.519
a small clearing just inside the woods. As the three
112
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.600
of us got closer to the craft, we started experiencing
113
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.519
radio difficulties. I then asked airman Combansac to relate the
114
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.439
radio transmissions back to our control center. Burls and I
115
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:08.959
proceeded towards the craft.
116
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.959
The air around them, according to Peniston, seemed to be
117
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.800
filled with electricity. It was surging through them as they
118
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:17.879
approached the object.
119
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.680
When we came up on the trangler shaped craft, there
120
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.079
were blue and yellow lights swirling around the exterior as
121
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.720
though they were part of the surface. Nothing in my
122
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:34.240
training prepared me for what I was witnessing. After ten minutes,
123
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.279
without any apparent aggression, I determined the craft was non
124
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.879
hostile to my team and to the base. Following the
125
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:47.360
security protocols. We completed a thorough on site investigation. This
126
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.279
included a full physical examination of the craft, which included
127
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:56.159
photographs and my notebook entries I had at the time,
128
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.759
and relays with the radio through aramic Banzac to our
129
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.759
control center. On one side of the craft, there were
130
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:08.360
symbols that measured three inches high and there approximate about
131
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.679
two and a half feet long. The feeling I had
132
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.039
during the encounter was like no type of aircraft that
133
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.320
I've ever seen before. It was in Jane's book of
134
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.039
Known Aircraft or anything I've seen since.
135
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:25.360
Peniston scrupled furiously in his notebook, drawing as best he
136
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.759
could the shape of the object, but found it increasingly
137
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:32.279
difficult to write, as if some strange force was weighing
138
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:32.840
him down.
139
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.320
The light from the craft again to intensify Burls and
140
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.440
I then took a defensive position away from the craft
141
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:44.039
as it lifted off the ground without any noise or
142
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.320
air disturbance. It maneuvered through the trees and shut off
143
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.159
at an unbelievable rate of speed. It was gone in
144
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.320
a blink of an eye. In my law book, I
145
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:02.000
wrote speed Impossible. That night over eighty Air Force personnel
146
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.440
all trained observers assigned to the eighty first Curity Police
147
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.200
Squadron witness to take off.
148
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:12.600
What on earth had the men witnessed? Whatever it was,
149
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.000
All three were reluctant to go back to their commanding
150
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:21.000
officers and say that they'd seen a UFO. Rumors had
151
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.600
long circulated around the Twin basis of lights in the sky,
152
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.679
but most airmen preferred to keep such reports to themselves
153
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.639
for fear of ridicule. On returning to the base, the
154
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.360
men relaid what Peniston described as a sanitized account of
155
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.759
the encounter to their commanding officer, Lieutenant Fred Beeren, and
156
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:44.600
were informed that the nearby radar base had also reported
157
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.279
an unusual blip on the radar earlier the previous night.
158
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.840
Was this the object the men had seen? Like so
159
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:55.480
much of the Rendership incident, we have official documents that
160
00:10:55.600 --> 00:11:00.799
confirm that this incident did indeed occurs. A Britain report
161
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:06.320
dated January two, nineteen eighty one, confirms Burroughs and Peniston's sighting.
162
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.919
Fred Buren affirms that the men are reliable and mature
163
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.000
individuals and appear convinced that Peniston had indeed experienced something
164
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.799
out of the realm. Of explanation for him at the time.
165
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.000
By now, the strange lights over Randelsham had also been
166
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.799
reported to the local police. Returning the next morning, the
167
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.200
two officers from the Suffolk Constabulary, Burroughs and Peniston, tried
168
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:37.240
to find the location of their mysterious nocturnal encounter. Happening
169
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.639
upon what they believed was the same clearing, the men
170
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:45.600
saw three indentations in the ground, often seized by skeptics.
171
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.080
The subsequent police report states that these indentations were actually
172
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:55.320
nothing more than rabbit burrows. Peniston, however, is adamant that
173
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.879
they were not stating that the ground was frozen and
174
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.960
it was impossible for that to have happened. Peniston believes
175
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.559
the officers were reluctant to state what the marks really were,
176
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:10.279
as like him, they were worried that they'd be ridiculed.
177
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.799
Supportive of Peniston's integration was the fact that the three
178
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:20.879
indentations formed an exact equilateral triangle when measured out. Burrows
179
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.320
and Peniston's encounter in the woods might well have been
180
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:28.240
dismissed as a mistake or even just Christmas hijinks if
181
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.440
it wasn't for the events of the following two nights.
182
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:35.480
Although the rendals from Forrest incident is usually reported as
183
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.039
two nights of UFO activity, the twenty fifth through twenty
184
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.720
sixth and the twenty seventh through twenty eighth, there was
185
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.480
actually a lesser reported sighting the following night, twenty hours
186
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.159
after the Burrows and Peniston sighting. Eighteen year old basic
187
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:55.159
airman Laurie Riefeldt recalls her own series of events that night.
188
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.200
So I was on control at the time, and I
189
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.399
had a colleague with me, airman his airman Dufffield. We
190
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.840
were both airman first class, which is the E three
191
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:08.399
at the time, and and we had just checked the
192
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.639
lock on the gate and we were just filling out
193
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.360
our check sheet and making sure everything and we're just
194
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.399
sitting there and it was about two three o'clock in
195
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.320
the morning, and it was just really it was a
196
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.600
it was a clear night, wasn't raining out, and we
197
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:23.039
were just kind of, you know, bored figuring out we
198
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.399
got about four or five more hours left, and we're
199
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.240
just sitting there talking and all of a sudden we
200
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:32.480
see this light approaching that it was coming from the
201
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.440
area the North Sea, so it's coming west to east,
202
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.120
and at first it looked like it looked like we
203
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:44.480
thought it was just regular aircraft coming in and and
204
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.759
and we looked over at the at the runway, waiting
205
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.960
good lights to go on, figuring all of the aircraft
206
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.720
coming in, and and then as it got closer and closer,
207
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.679
and now it's about maybe two hundred it wasn't really
208
00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.960
that far. It was just this it was a bit
209
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.000
light and just stopped. And this guy and I were looking.
210
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.159
We noticed that the that the runway lights aren't on.
211
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.200
We see this light and then and then all of
212
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:10.840
a sudden, it just stops in mid air. And then
213
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.279
all of a sudden, it moves up down, left right,
214
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:17.759
and then it breaks into like three pieces and speeds
215
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.840
across the runway. And now we're stunned. We're like, what
216
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.840
the we you know, what was that? So we immediately
217
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.360
got on I got on the radio because we you know,
218
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.759
we were thinking, what is that? And we get on
219
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.159
the radio and and I mean we were kind of
220
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.279
excited about you know, police control, this is police sport,
221
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:40.279
be advised. But we couldn't see the aircraft itself, the speed,
222
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:42.879
the rate of speed that it was moving when it
223
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:44.840
when it when it went across I mean, it was
224
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.639
moving in like a regular aircraft. Then when it stopped,
225
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:49.559
and then when it did its movement, and then when
226
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.000
it split into three, and then when it went sped
227
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.039
across the runway going it was going west, you know,
228
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.919
it was just going out of phenomenal speed. And the
229
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.080
only other thing that really it caught our attention was
230
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.399
that it didn't make any noise. There was no sound
231
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.679
to it at all, and we were like, you know this,
232
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.000
we just you know, we just didn't know what it was.
233
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.919
And as for the size it, you know, from the
234
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.559
distance we were, I guess I'd say it was probably
235
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.679
about the size of a car or small truck or something.
236
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.200
It was probably about maybe two football length football field
237
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:25.000
lengths away.
238
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.679
News of the UFO sightings had by now reached the base.
