AN AMERICAN IN SUFFOLK: REFLECTIONS, OBSERVATIONS AND UPDATES ON A DECADE'S RESEARCH INTO BRITAIN'S RENDLESHAM FOREST UFO INCIDENT

摘要

It has now been five years since the publication Left at East Gate: A First-Hand Account of the Bentwaters-Woodb ridge UFO Incident, Its Cover-Up and Investigation. Larry Warren and I spent ten years (1987-1997) seeing this project through to completion and I see no good reason to attempt a summary of its four-hundred-and-ninety pages in these proceedings. Rather, the intention of this paper is considerably less formal: 1. to set down some afterthoughts on the book and the events which inspired it, 2. to recall a few of the people and situations that (quite appropriately) never made it into print, 3. to examine whether or not Left at East Gate had any impact on official government policies pertaining to UFOs in the United Kingdom, 4. and to report on some updates in this story.
