The Rendlesham UFO Encounter and the Alien Message from the Future
Added 2023-09-22 22:36:28 +0000 UTCThe night after Christmas, 1980, was the last time Airman First Class John Burroughs would ever lead a normal life.
He was on patrol at an American-operated Woodbridge Air Force base in southern England. Woodbridge and nearby Bentwaters - called the Twin Bases were rumored to possess nuclear materials. This was the middle of the Cold War, and tensions were high.
The threat of nuclear attack, global escalation, and more, sat heavy on the shoulders of Burroughs and his fellow servicemen. But their job was simple: keep themselves, their nation, and their allies safe.
So, Burroughs conducted his nightly rounds, checking the perimeter for anything that threatened the peace.
Suddenly, a bright light descended from the sky. Then another. Burroughs watched as the lights fell into the forest surrounding the base.
When he and his team arrived to inspect the crash site, they were worried it was a Soviet incursion. But, what they found was far more terrifying than anything the Soviets could think of.

2024-02-06 19:55:49 +0000 UTC@Rob W Omg… I swear they release things “look over there! It’s Elvis!” But less One world Government and more about Hand In The Cookie Jar

2023-10-04 02:14:27 +0000 UTCI think our government leaks a little ufo stuff once in a while to set us up for a big scare to usher in a one world government. I used to think that sounded crazy, but our government really can’t be trusted. Covid really exposed them

2023-09-24 20:53:05 +0000 UTCLoved this episode. You nailed it when you said NASA keeps saying UFOs are not from outside earth.

2023-09-24 14:13:46 +0000 UTCWhy don't you post new full episodes on Rumble? You haven't in over 3 weeks. I can't recommend YouTube channels to anyone in good conscience if they're gonna keep demonitizing people unfairly.

2023-09-23 16:36:27 +0000 UTCHoly balls man, I’ve heard and seen this story at least 40 times before and AJ STILL MAKES IT SEEM LIKE ITS NEW! New information, more thorough information, just fkn great. I’ve been with Why Files since the very start, and we all KNEW it was going to explode like this. It’s because of how Andrew and The Crew put all of this together. Now if we could just figure out a way to bust open this gov cover up bullsht.
John Hobart
2023-09-23 15:34:57 +0000 UTCLove seeing new insights on well covered topics like this.The fact that AJ is just the right blend of skeptic and wide-eyed dreamer creates a perfect balance. Grattitude and love to the WF team for another great episode!

2023-09-23 15:18:52 +0000 UTCWhat you said at the end is so true AJ. About how fragile Central Intelligence and the Federal Bureau is? Especially when it comes to releasing disinformation. All it takes is one or two inconsistencies for the entire plot hole they might try to patch to rip wide open. It's just that feeble. I think is safe to agree on one collective thing. When it comes to the CIA and FBI? And the things behind the scenes of the Federal Government and the Military? They only care about one thing. And one thing alone. Containment. I’d not believe for a second I’d be or anyone would be an exception. Not if it meant contentment. Because it’s safer to assume they’d not hesitate if or when it came down to...by any means necessary. They do not have our best interest at heart. They have their best interest at heart. It’s is about control. And the containment is a humongous part of keeping that power and control of authority. And that is for the few. Not the many. I do not like where we are headed either AJ You said it friend. And all at the same time? I can’t wait either.

2023-09-23 14:31:36 +0000 UTCBurroughs is 100% wrong about the blue and red lights being local police. We didn't have red lights on police cars in the UK at that time, or on any emergency vehicle for that matter. It was only ever blue. There are red lights as well as blue on police vehicles now, but that change didn't come until years later.

2023-09-23 13:12:00 +0000 UTCGreat work. Every week I really enjoy the why files thanks for the entertainment. :) But I have one question. Im crasy or there will be thin foil heads? 😅 It looks like Heckelfish wear a real head xD

CerealKiller
2023-09-23 08:36:41 +0000 UTCThanks for including the problematic aspects of this story. I had never heard them in any previous telling of the incident. I really appreciate that you don't cherry-pick which facts you present. If it's relevant, you include it. Thanks for another brilliant episode!

2023-09-23 08:35:10 +0000 UTCI’m still laughing about the lemurs doing the back stroke to Madagascar 😂😂

2023-09-23 04:43:01 +0000 UTCExcellent! I had pretty much accepted the event as featured over the years and wasn’t aware of the substantial problems. 👍👍

Skinny Piglet
2023-09-23 02:30:41 +0000 UTCI heard that the locals reported UFO in that area during that time to the police

Matt Street
2023-09-23 02:27:21 +0000 UTCSuffix England has a lot of ufo stories over there. So something is happening over that part of England.
Jose Zayas
2023-09-23 02:12:30 +0000 UTCThe first time I heard about the story I was in prison and was watching the TV show unsolved mystery. I follow this UFO incident all through them until I got out and then I seen it again and I show called paranormal witness. Then I heard the note about that note that that was a binary code. That was when most of the UFO researchers started talking about aliens coming from the future. I did not believe that part of UFO story. I was also trying to figure out why aliens had the same time calendar that we have. But I still believe that something happened over there because the government is still covering it up.
Jose Zayas
2023-09-23 02:09:04 +0000 UTCMe either. Weird. Go to Why Files in YouTube and click on any video then go to the description and scroll down to shop.thewhyfiles.com

2023-09-23 01:52:40 +0000 UTCI was stationed at RAF Upper Heyford in the late 80's. One of the guys in my unit was stationed at Bentwaters during this time. He loved to tell the story.

2023-09-23 01:31:47 +0000 UTCHi guys can anyone help me I'm at WF? Patreon member but can't access the shop patreon area?
Matt Street
2023-09-23 01:29:33 +0000 UTCThere are just too many people involved with this story. Many were never mentioned. I'm not sure what parts are true and fabricated. I believe the truth is somewhere in the story along with made-up things due to time's effect on the human brain and the lure to cash in on a juicier tale. Either way, fun watching it and glad to see that zippy goldfish getting more lines again! :0)

John Seychel
2023-09-23 01:11:42 +0000 UTCLike many, I know this incident well, but this is the first investigation that shows both sides of the story, much I hadn't even heard. As always, great job. Unrelated, I see you're getting your trademark board behind you in even better shape at the new location.

2023-09-23 01:10:17 +0000 UTCI hadn't heard about this particular event, so it was so interesting to watch. Btw... I Loved it! The amount of researching that goes into an episode must be huge! You guys deserve an Oscar! Get some rest kids, you all deserve a break! Excellent episode! Love to AJ, Heckle Fish, and the whole Why File's gang, from Idaho. ❤️🥰

Scott Chervinski
2023-09-23 00:48:31 +0000 UTCAJ, Thank you for calling B.S. on the binary code. I remember when the fisrt documentary covered it and I ran it through a few versions of binary. This lead to a email thread with the producer. There are two notebooks. 1 is the feild notebook. The other is a spiral notebook that was written in later. Jim sold the notebook to a producer. But it mysteriously reappears in a later documentary. Maybe there are 3 notebooks now.

2023-09-23 00:26:30 +0000 UTCAwesome episode! Always great to see UK events being discussed. Fantastic research and presentation of the evidence.
Ben Morse
2023-09-23 00:13:19 +0000 UTCPart of me always wants to skip the end when all the [counter] evidence is produced/skeptical analysis happens 😅. Will we ever know the truth of the existence of UAP's/UFO's? 😩 Excellent video
Daniel Buchanan
2023-09-23 00:11:05 +0000 UTCAnother great one! Say “Hi” to Hecklefish for me. 0110100001101001
Michael Adcock
2023-09-23 00:06:52 +0000 UTCGreat job, as always guys! I am constantly impressed with the amount of research that goes into these videos. Just curious, does anyone else remember the movie 'Official Denial', with Parker Stevenson? Yes, Frank Hardy of The Hardy Boys. It's not stellar movie making (pun intended!), but it was the first time I was introduced to the theory of aliens being from our future. Theories and supposition abound, but the truth, my friends, is out there.

2023-09-22 23:26:05 +0000 UTCDang I wish people in those positions wouldn't do that. People effectively ruin trust, we all know it helps with disinformation, but still... what a shame. Thank you for the episode!
