SKEPTIC - The Physics of UFOs

32. Enter Skip Buran and Kevin Conde

Here’s a link to the “Justice for the Bentwaters 81st Security Police at Rendlesham Forest 1980” Facebook page belonging to James Penniston and John Burroughs. On the page you’ll see exchanges with Skip Buran, who was shift commander the first night, and Kevin Conde, then a USAF MP at the base.

Conde had previously said in a BBC interview and in an interview with The Daily Mail that the incident had begun as a hoax.

“There was this one guy at the back gate, and he was known as a bit of a problem – he was always seeing things,” Conde told the Daily Mail. “It always turned out that it was a star or something. So I decided to play a practical joke.

“I drove down the taxiway in my car. I stuck the spotlight on, after sticking red and green lenses on it. I then drove round in circles, in the fog, with the PA loudspeaker going, flashing my lights.

“It wasn’t a UFO, it was a 1979 Plymouth Volare (a standard-issue American police car).”

The Facebook exchanges are well worth reading. You don’t have to have a Fb account to read the exchange. It's a pdf file.

Those who are determined to believe the Rendlesham Forest incident involved ETs (or time travelers) will probably continue to do so, no matter what, so I think I’ve talked myself out here.
