Rendlesham Forest UFO: the UK Stranger Things?

In December 1980, something strange happened in a quiet Suffolk forest.

US Air Force personnel stationed at RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters reported unexplained lights, a triangular craft, physical traces, and encounters so disturbing that over 40 years later, the Rendlesham Forest incident is still known as “Britain’s Roswell.”

But what if Rendlesham wasn’t just a UFO sighting?

In this episode, we start with the classic Rendlesham Forest case: military witnesses, the infamous Halt Tape, alleged radiation exposure, missing photographs, and reports of strange entities emerging from a glowing craft deep in the woods.

Then we push further.

We explore new and controversial theories that frame Rendlesham not as an alien visitation, but as something far stranger:
a thin place, a portal hotspot, or the accidental result of secret experiments beneath British soil.

Filmmaker Simon Holland’s recent claims suggest the forest may have concealed an underground black program, involving non-human intelligence, exotic energy systems, and interdimensional phenomena. These ideas draw eerie parallels with Skinwalker Ranch in the US and even the legendary Montauk Project — the alleged inspiration behind Stranger Things.

Was Rendlesham a botched experiment?
A doorway opened too far?
Or Britain’s own version of the Upside Down?

From UFOs and military cover-ups to portals, psychic warfare, and hidden tunnels under Suffolk, this episode leans hard into the UK Stranger Things theory and asks one unsettling question:

What if the forest isn’t empty…
but listening?
