Colonel Charles Halt, RAF Bentwaters Base Commander was enjoying the Christmas season with other senior officers at a base party when he was abruptly called out and told about some amazing things that were happening over the woods around the base. Strange lights were moving around in the night in Rendlesham Forest to the point that security officers were prompted to investigate.

The second night of these historic sightings they had had enough. It was time to call in Halt. Halt was one of a group of senior officers to chase the eerie glowing objects into the forest. He would become a key figure in the Rendlesham investigation, and Ufology. He would make a cassette recording of the details of his trek into the woods which would become a most valuable piece of UFO material. Rendlesham is observing its 25th anniversary this Christmas season, and has become one of the most celebrated UFO cases of all.
