In
1995, I wrote a book, Project Moon Dust, in which I discussed the events
at Rendlesham Forest in December 1980. It was an analysis that was based on the
research that I done up to that point. For those who don’t know, back then, the
case was quite confusing. Just who all was involved? How many days did the
event last? Did anyone actually get close to an object or was it just lights in
the forest? Lots of questions and only a few good answers.

To
expand on this, I had spent some time in California with Russ Estes, a
documentarian who was involved in the UFO community. According to him, Larry
Warren had stayed with him for several months, and Estes, as a documentarian,
sat him down in front of his camera, asking him about the activities at
Bentwaters. Warren, to prove his credentials, provided the evidence, including
photographs and paperwork that he was, in fact, a former member of the Air
Force security force at Bentwaters. And, as we all now know, his presence at
the base has been confirmed by Colonel Charles Halt, John Burroughs and Jim
Penniston. All of them were clearly there as well.
So,
what is the problem? Wasn’t it Warren who first told the story to Barry
Greenwood and Larry Fawcett? Without Warren, telling the story as Art Wallace,
providing the first of the details, the story might have remained buried
forever. Warren sparked the interest that lead to the breaking of the cover up
or so it seemed.
According
to a couple of paragraphs posted online by Philip Mantle, Warren had told Linda
Moulton Howe that he hadn’t been directly involved, which changes the whole
scenario. Mantle asked if any of us knew anything more about this:
Thanks to Rendlesham researcher Ronnie Dugdale for the information.
Warren admitted to
Linda Moulton Howe and Benton Jamieson in an interview recorded by them both on
May the 18th 1986 that he was re-telling Adrian Bustinzas story as if it had
happened to him.
As
recently as a couple of years ago Gary Heseltine was a guest on phenomenon
radio. I was disappointed by his lack of knowledge but shocked and amazed that
Gary Heseltine who claimed to be one of Britains leading researchers on the
Rendlesham Forest Incident was unaware of the Howe/ Jamieson interview.
Directly
after the show I sent a full transcript of the interview to Gary Heseltine so
he knows the truth but chooses to ignore the evidence.!
Here
is a link to my drop box for anyone who cares about the truth to read the full
transcript:
And,
according to Halt, the story was already known in England before Warren had
said anything about it. Bentwaters was being discussed in some circles, so even
if Warren hadn’t talked to Greenwood and Fawcett, the story would have gotten
out. Warren wasn’t all that important to the reporting of the story. Halt is
the one who told me that when I interviewed him on the radio version of A
Different Perspective. You can listen to that here:
and here:
Back
then, in 1995 as I worked on Project Moon Dust, there was something of a
controversy about the number of days that transpired. Some thought it was two
and others thought it was three. I asked John Burroughs about it and he told me
that he thought it was two but Penniston thought that it was three… or maybe it
was the other way around. Warren said that he had been involved on the third
day but if there was no third day, then Warren’s tale failed.

During
a conversation held on February 16, 1993, among Halt, Warren and Peter Robbins,
Halt told Warren that “You have events from the first night in the second or
third night rather intertwined together.”
I
think that I have finally solved this portion of the problem. According to what
Charles Halt told me, there were three days. One day that involved several
members of the security force and a second day that began early in the morning
of December 27, that involved different set of witnesses. One of them, Lt.
Bonnie Tamplin, who drove out into the woods, had suffered a vehicle failure,
and was so freaked out by the experience that she was sent home.
It
was that same day, but now late at night, just before midnight and into the
morning of December 28, that Halt and the others were involved. In this
respect, this is the third day. While I think this explains the problem with
the number of days, meaning that everyone was right about the number of days
depending on how you looked at it, it really does nothing to validate Warren’s
tales. Events in the early morning of the 27th are counted as one
and those happening twenty or some hours later, late at night on the 27th,
account for the confusion. This is the point into which Warren attempted to
insert himself.

In
the video tape that Estes recorded, Warren seemed to hint that he hadn’t been
around for two of the days because he had been on leave in Germany at the time.
I mentioned that to Halt during the radio show and he was quite certain that
Warren was in England, but not involved in the events in Rendlesham Forest.
There
were differing accounts of who was where and who was involved on the critical
day. Halt was there, and according to
him, no one was in front of him other than Burroughs and one other airman. Halt
told Warren, “There are two nights there that are intertwined. Are you aware of
that?”
Warren
said that he didn’t and Halt continued. ““You have events from the first night
in the second or in the third night rather intertwined together. It’s very
puzzling.”
Later
in the conversation, Warren said, “I am not married to anything I say. All I
have done, or tried to do through the years…” Then as if to alibi his tale said
that he had told his mother, who he said could tell whether or not he was
lying. From what he said, his mother believed him.
Halt
interrupted to ask, “Do you remember two separate, distinct nights, or were you
involved on one night?”
Warren
replied, “One. But I remember on that night… I can remember people with me and
that whole bit.” And then he said the thing that seems to confirm the
information that Howe and Benton Jamieson reported. He said, “Whether that is real or created
or God Knows now… The strange story with me where your can put a finger
on it and say God, something happened with this guy is in the paperwork… What
my hopes are is that this is what my mind’s eye says.”
Warren
talked about what he had seen or not seen. He said, “…whether I saw a thing
explode or didn’t see a bright source of light…”
But
Halt interrupted and said, “You
couldn’t have been in front of us. There were no people in front of us… You had
to be well behind that, at least a hundred, two hundred yards…”
With
that, Warren diverted the conversation again. He talked of his eye problems,
blaming them on the thing in the forest. Rather than dealing with the
discrepancies in his story, he began to talk about other elements of the case.
But
rather than take my word for it even though I can provide information about the
interview, you can listen to it here:
The
point here, however, is that everything I quoted here is on the tape made in
1993. I would suspect that Warren has a copy of the tape and knows what is on
it. I suspect he knows what Halt has said about him and he knows that he wasn’t
involved in the sightings but was at Bentwaters in 1980. All this seems to
verify what Howe and Jamieson reported. Warren sinks his own tale with his own
words and I have no reason to suspect that the interview with Warren in 1986 is
not accurate.
