Brits Break Silence on UFO Sightings Combined News Services December 4, 2002 London -- Criticized for keeping secret the files on a prominent UFO sighting, the British government posted them on the Internet this week, 22 years after the fact. The files, released under Britain's Freedom of Information Act, contain accounts by U.S. Air Force security men at an air base near Ipswich in eastern England, who saw a brilliantly lit object land in woods outside the base in December 1980. Investigating what they thought was a plane crash, the officers found a "strange glowing object" that was "metallic in appearance ... approximately two to three meters [seven to 10 feet] across the base and approximately two meters [seven feet] high," reads a report by Deputy Base Commander Lt. Col. Charles Halt. "It illuminated the entire forest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on top and a bank of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering, or on legs." Skeptics say the witnesses were dazzled by the beam of a lighthouse on the nearby coast. But the report adds that the next day three depressions seven feet in diameter were found in the grass and that readings of beta and gamma radiation were 10 times the normal. Until last week, only around 20 members of the public had seen the file, which can be found by searching freedom of information documents at www.mod.uk.
