The Guardians of East Gate
THE GUARDIANS OF EAST GATE
When I saw the coverage of the launch of the X-47B,
the autonomous drone from a naval aircraft carrier, there were a number
of emotions that ran through me. I first marveled at the technology, I
was also a bit frightened by it and, of course, I was angry to see that
we still are proceeding with the mechanized death known as a drone and
that eventually anyone with a Facebook, a joystick and a bag of Cheetos
will be able to hack into a drone system and program it to autonomously
attack innocent people.I also remember back before the North Korea scare that I attempted to deliver a show about UFO’s in wartime can be a threat to national security. It was of course met with a bit of derision because of the UFO stigma and how through the year’s unidentified aerial craft are already assumed by lazy minds to be craft that are piloted by aliens.
The enigmatic flying triangle has been seen by many people and while it can easily be seen as something ominous and alien we may be seeing the testing of new aircraft and yet after we spoke with George Knapp and T.D. Barnes whose background and experiences with Area 51 can have us wondering if the designs of these ominous new aircraft are part of some extraterrestrial design.
Reports generally describe flying triangles as enormous, black, hovering or slowly cruising at low altitudes over cities and highways, usually at night and making no attempt to evade detection. These objects are often described as having “running lights,” either bright white lights or pulsing colored lights that appear at each corner of the triangle.
Many witnesses say that the triangles are silent, while others say they hear a low frequency hum or pulsing thumping sound that accompanies the aircraft.
It has always been the aphorism amongst Ufologists that there has been a consistent attempt to suppress any and all information about UFO’s and alien visitation. With all of the leaks and the cover-ups many cases have been debunked, or at least been retold to the point of banality. It has also been suggested that most cases have evolved into the realm of legend because they have happened so long ago and true witnesses are elderly and arguably not as sharp as they used to be.
Some of witnesses have taken to their graves the secrets surrounding such landings.
This leaves the new investigator frustrated because perhaps he cannot relate to historical accounts. Many would much rather study and understand cases that they don’t have to blow the dust off of in order to prove that they indeed happened.
I am sure the well-seasoned UFO enthusiast has heard of an incident that occurred early in the morning of December 26-27, 1980, in the United Kingdom. The case has been called “The Incident at Bentwaters.”
After all, when it all came crashing down back in 1980, the world was going through some very uncertain times.
Back then, Saddam Hussein was not an enemy, Ronald Reagan had just become President-elect and John Lennon was shot dead as he and his wife Yoko Ono were returning to their Manhattan apartment.
Obviously, major stories that deserved the most black ink and front-page status.
But the story that could not be told to the people was happening in the U.K.
It was 3 A.M. when two United States Air Force security police saw am aircraft with unusual lights crash just outside the east back gate at RAF Woodbridge. The patrolman radioed in and claimed that a metallic triangular shaped aircraft may have been forced down. A strange glow was emitting from nearby Rendlesham forest. The entire forest it seemed was bathed in an eerie glow of white light.
The object according to the witnesses was about 9-10 feet across and about 6-7 feet high. There seemed to be a pulsing red light on top of the object and banks of icy blue lights underneath. As time passed the farm animals that were near the base were upset as the light was pulsating red and white. According to Sergeant Larry Warren, who was stationed at Bentwaters, It looked like a plane hit and a fire was smoldering in the forest.
The object would maneuver through the tress and then disappear.
At daylight three depressions were found in the area proving that something had landed in the forest near Bentwaters at Woodbridge and the following night the area was tested for Radiation.
The readings of Beta/Gamma radiation were recorded with peak readings near the depressions. There were also high readings in the center of the triangle that was left behind by the UFO.
The readings were shown to be at 0.1 milliroentgens and nearby trees were showing readings of .05 and .07.
This UFO was seen again when night fell.
A red light that appeared to be like a large fireball maneuvered through the trees pulsing and throwing off particles sending five different elliptical objects into the sky. They darted about in the northern sky and changed from red to green and then to blue.
These objects then turned into full circles and remained in the sky for an hour or two. The main object remained to the south and sent out a beam of light into the sky.
On December 26, just after midnight, radar installations had picked up and began tracking a UFO that dropped below radar coverage. The “fallen angel” or “bogey” was heading towards the small town of Ipswich. This was near the sensitive NATO bases that were leased by the RAF and the 81st Tactical Fighter wing. These two bases are known as RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters.
USAF Sergeant Larry Warren claimed that when he and other personnel arrived in the woods they could see a strange mist that covered the ground that resembled a soupy ground fog, The fog itself had a luminescent glow to it. Looking into the fog they could see the pulsing red light that eventually pulsed more brightly.
After the red light exploded the triangle could be seen. The main body of the craft was pearl white. The sides of the craft had a chromatic rainbow affect as light reflected from its sides.
USAF Sergeant John Burroughs also witnessed the triangular craft when he was called to investigate. He was the one who accompanied the two security patrolmen in the woods. James Archer was one of the security patrolman who confirmed that the object was a triangular shaped object with three landing legs.
Archer also claimed that he could see what appeared to be the pilots of the aircraft but he claimed that the shapes did not look human. He also hypothesized that the occupants may not have been human. However it needs to be stressed that he didn’t go to the extremes of claiming that they were “aliens.” He thought that they might have been robotic in nature. Perhaps the aircraft was piloted by remote control.
Sergeant Adrain Bustinza who was acting security police commander at the time of the incident claimed that when they arrived to investigate the downed aircraft, the light balls would not turn on and that the jeeps were drained of energy.
It was reported by security personnel that during the time of the investigation there was an electrical field in the woods. This caused the radio contact with the base virtually impossible. There was an ozone smell and the air was becoming electrically charged as if the men were in a thunderstorm. Their hair began to stand on end and they could feel a tingle on their skin. Others made claims of seeing beings in the cone like aircraft. Some claimed that it was their shadows and that they were making fascinating shapes that were out of synch with their movements. A red light blip would follow the shadows as they moved like a cat and mouse video game.
The shadows continued to move out of phase and each time the men would stop, the shadows would take another step.
British tabloids were the first papers to report this remarkable story. The papers were spinning tales of alien encounters based upon an alleged account by Larry Warren. Larry Warren allegedly claimed that the next thing he remembered was that he awoke in his bunk with a headache with mud caked all the way up to his knees. Warren allegedly claimed that he was tested for exposure to radiation and was forced to sign a security oath.
Warren later supposedly broke his oath and claimed that he and others were shown high quality gun camera films of UFO’s shooting down MIG fighter jets. Warren said that the footage was very clear and showed a classic flying disc. Warren said that there is a point of Missing time where during the investigation in the forest they were ordered to form a circle around the perimeter of the object.
Base commander Col. Gordon Williams then approached the object and a beam of light came down from the ship. Three silver suited beings came down out of the light. They were human looking with large heads and almond shaped eyes, the classic grey.
Col. Williams denies that he was there. Others swear to it. They also say that the USAF personnel assisted the beings in making repairs to their craft.
The whole incident was reported in tabloids as only lasting 30 minutes to an hour. When numerous accounts say that the whole event continued for a nightmarishly long 3-day period.
The only thing that remained was the shadows, the flash of red light and the separating craft. Not to mention the nightmare of meeting strange beings that conveniently didn’t end up on the tape.
All we hear is the sound of men who are confused and frightened. The tape was heavily edited omitting the alleged encounter with the beings.
Whatever happened at the east gate near Rendlesham tends to show some significant coincidences that we here at Ground Zero have covered before in previous articles dealing with the Flying Triangles and their co-existence with magnetic stimulation and biological or radioactive poisoning.
Long before contrails and the associated hysteria there have been other accounts of exotic aircraft with a direct or indirect correlation with the military and subsequent hallucinatory activity, radiation and or biological poisonings to humans and animals.
It was recorded that a civilian was affected by the events near Rendlesham . Gordon Levitt lived near the edge of the forest near the military bases. On December 26th, 1980, he had been out walking with his dog when he suddenly looked up and spotted an object that he described as being like an upturned mushroom with a greenish-white glow. The aircraft was silent and glided towards RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters. The next day Levitt had claimed that his dog remained in its doghouse obviously shocked and looking very ill. It finally died a few days later.
The alleged testimony of Larry Warren also has a correlation with a possible electronic mind control experiment or some sort of toxic encounter with an aircraft of unknown origin, a luminescent cloud that hugged the ground and of course the testimony of what appeared to be an encounter with an alien species, or what appeared to be an alien species.
The account of ozone in the air or perhaps magnetic or electric energy causing hair to stand on end could also be something to pay attention to. There were also reports of Jeeps and several High-powered Light all’s abruptly failing, which suggests a highly charged magnetic field in the area.
There have been studies that have been conducted that claim that when the brain is subject to intense electromagnetic stimulation, one can experience something similar to an abduction encounter, or lost time.
A quote from Larry Warren suggests that whatever was happening his brain was being affected:
“Some of the group ran away, others stayed put, like myself. I couldn’t move – I don’t know whether it was shock or if it was outside influence. It was dreamlike… I think time was distorted and perceptions were intentionally affected by this intelligence. There was one reality and in front of you was another. I felt slower on that night. Everything was on half speed and something was wrong – something was out of place.”
While the idea of an alien encounter is fun to speculate about, the knowledge of what can be suggested with the use of electronic stimulation begs to be investigated.
The use of EMF and ELF wave frequencies in mind control have been demonstrated and talked about with the revelations of HAARP and experimentation that has been carried out in the Montauk / Camp Hero accounts.
Whatever energy was being discharged from the aircraft it was evident that the levels were borderline dangerous. Enough to cause car batteries to drain and electronic equipment to malfunction.
How can we not conclude that this magnetic energy did not have an effect on the men? Also the lack of audiotape evidence of the encounter points to the proof that the men were exposed to an enormous amount of magnetic energy.
There were other revelations that seemed to unravel demonstrating that something even more significant may have happened to the men. It was later determined that Nuclear weapons were being stored at the facility something that both sides denied.
Halt has appeared on many documentaries dealing with UFO’s and exotic craft and often alludes to the military implications of a strange aircraft pointing beams of light at the alleged weapons storage area at the Woodbridge facility.
“We could very clearly see it… I noticed other beams of light coming down from the same object falling on different places on the base. My boss was standing in his front yard in Woodbridge and he could see the beams of light falling down, and the people in the weapons storage area and other places on the base also reported the lights.”
Charles Halt discussed the case again after retiring from the USAF with the rank of full colonel. Twenty years later he still wonders what he was a part of, or what was really happening:
“I was very skeptical. I found what allegedly had taken place hard to believe, and I was really going to debunk it quite frankly; and as events unfolded I became more and more concerned that there maybe is something to this… I kept telling myself that there had to be some type of explanation for it, but I certainly couldn’t find one and even to this day I can’t explain what happened.”
Today, the whole story is somewhat confusing as to what really happened. Even as we develop this investigative report we must confess that the case is still murky and investigators such as Nick Pope, Jenny Randles, and Georgina Bruni are a matter of record.
Skeptics also had claimed that what the men saw was far from exotic and far from supernatural. Ian Ridpath well known British science writer blamed the whole event on drunk soldiers gazing at a beam of light that was cast on the base from Orford Ness Lighthouse some five miles away on the Suffolk coast.
Colonel Halt’s memo clearly shows that the men did encounter something. However there were no aliens in the official memo.
British author and researcher Ralph Noyes, the head of Defense Secretariat 8 for four years and later retired in 1977 with the rank of Under Secretary of State. He wrote regarding this case:
“Our worried skeptical colleagues have already had to advance an extraordinary hotch-potch of explanations: space debris, a bright meteor, a police car, drink and drugs, a lighthouse, other lights on the coast, dear old Sirius. Occam, you will remember, urged us to cut away unnecessary complications in our attempts to explain phenomena and to look for the simplest explanation.”
The simplest explanation of Halt’s memorandum is that he was reporting – as precisely as wondrous events permit – what he and ‘numerous individuals’ encountered on December 29th and 30th 1980, together with such facts as he had been able to ascertain from his subordinates about the occurrences of December 26th and 27th 1980.
There was also an inquiry as to whether or not the base had witnessed the crash of Russian spy satellite space junk and that the UFO /alien story had been used as a cover.
The tape that Colonel Halt made and the film footage covered several hours of the incident and only 18 minutes of the audiotape exists and the video footage was cloudy at best. The video footage allegedly was flown to West Germany’s Ramstein Air Force base.
There have been many people who have come forward to discredit the accounts and the sanity of these men who we entrust with our Nuclear weapons and our NATO airbases. This strikes a chord of uncertainty in everyone if these men were hallucinating and seeing images of aliens and weird spacecraft.
An yet, Base Commander Williams was later promoted to the rank of General, evidently a reward for his work in the case.
Weird work indeed.
