First off: I hope you will forgi...Dear Mr. Randle,<br /><br />First off: I hope you will forgive my entirely unrelated response, but I wasn't able to find an e-mail address I might send my question to.<br /><br /><br />At the risk of intruding upon your time, I would like to inform you about a case I have come across from November 26, 1980, occuring just one month prior to the Rendlesham Forest event in the neighboring county of Norfolk. <br /><br />The reason why I'm now contacting you, is basically to ask you for some advice as I'm quite the novice in research of the ufological kind, so to speak. <br /><br /><br />In the course of researching a short but sweet ufo flap that occured from mid- to late November of 1980, a rather interesting (but possibly not the most unique case that was ever reported on) popped up in three consecutive editions of a local Norfolf newspaper (The Lynn Advertiser). The event has some basic ingredients of a good case, but is still far from an altogether solid one. It involves multiple witnesses observing a diamond-shaped/triangular object hovering over a local road, and a hint of an electromagnetic effect, causing (in one case) the gas pedal and/or acceleration to malfunction. <br /><br />I then started a probe into other newspapers at the time, both locally and nationally, but there do not appear to exist any more reports in other news publication of the time. I then proceeded to scour the many ufo-related UK-based newsletters of the time, among which quite a few BUFORA issues as well as the many Jenny Randles editions (Northern UFO News) within the relevant period.<br /><br />Nothing whatsoever turned up.<br /><br />In the past week I contacted Philip Mantle, who was kind enough to put me in contact with John Hanson who was, for his part, kind enough to send me an extensive report on all the sightings/cases that are part of that particular wave in the month of November in England, but here also the 26 November case was conspicuous by its absence.<br /><br />As I mentioned there was indeed a ufo flap in November of 1980, culminating into the famous Todmorden case of the 29th. It goes without saying that the Rendlesham Forest incident was less than a month away, by itself no reason to suggest any sort of direct relation between both cases, but still: I was very much surprised by the absence of any contemporary investigations into the event. The only reference to it I did find, after literally days of searching, was written down in David Marler's splendid "Triangular Ufo's: an estimate of the situation".<br /><br /><br />Could I send my preliminary findings to you via e-mail? If I could, I would be very much interested to learn how you assess this particular case, as far as cases go and if you think it's worthwhile for me to further pursue my research on the event. <br /><br />Thank you in advance for your time and attention,<br /><br />Jurriaan Maessen<br />The NetherlandsJurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479241030220144574noreply@blogger.com
