Hi Tigerlily,
I haven't seen the series, "Taken", no.

I remember hearing about the Rendelsham incident on the radio a few years ago, it's really interesting. My memory is really sketchy... was there some tape or other recorded of the pilots at the time, or am I making that up?
It was an audio tape made by the deputy base commander when he and others left the base to investigate what seemed to be a landing in nearby woods of a strange object. Remember this is the deputy base commander and other officials of what was a nuclear-bomb facility. So you'd trust them to be good observers, and not to panic easily, hopefully. Yet they clearly do panic in portions of the tape if you play the audio version. They ended up encountering multiple objects. This was just one night from what seems to have been three nights of consequetive incidents.

But here again is the transcript of the tape:
-----------------------------------------------------
Lt. Colonel Halt: Looking directly overhead, one can see an opening in the trees, plus some freshly broken pine branches on the ground underneath. Looks like some of them came off about fifteen to twenty feet up. Some small branches about inch or less in diameter.
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: 01.48. We're hearing some strange sounds out of the farmers...
Sgt. Nevilles: Twenty eight....seven...
Lt. Colonel Halt: barnyard animals. They're very, very active and making an awful lot of noise.
Sgt. Nevilles: definite pigmentation.
Lt. Colonel Halt: You saw a light? Slow down. Where, where?
Sgt. Nevilles (spots UFO): Right on this position here. Straight ahead in between the trees
Lt. Englund: There it is again......beginning of the gap...right there
Sgt. Nevilles: It throw the hell off my flashlight there.
Lt. Colonel Halt: Hey I see it too. What is it?
Sgt. Nevilles: We don't know sir
Lt. Colonel Halt: OK, it's a strange small red light, looks to be out maybe a quarter - half mile, maybe further out. I'm gonna switch off for a...
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: The light is gone now. It was approximately 120 degrees from the site.
Sgt. Nevilles: It's back again
Lt. Colonel Halt: Is it back again?
Sgt. Nevilles: Yes sir
Lt. Colonel Halt: Well douse flashlights then. Let's go back to the edge of the clearing then, so we can get a better look at it. See if you can get the starscope on it. The light's still there and all the barnyard animals have gotten quiet now. We're heading about 110 -120 degrees from the site, out through the clearing now. Still getting a reading on the meter about 2 clicks. Needles jumped 3-4 clicks getting stronger.
Sgt. Nevilles: Now it's stopped. Now it's coming up. Hold on, here we go. Now it's coming up about approximately 4 foot off the ground. The compass has 110 degrees.
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: Right, I just turned the meter off. Better say that again, about 4 feet off the ground, about a 110 degrees, getting the reading of about 4 clicks.
Sgt. Nevilles: Yes sir.... *coughs* excuse me, now it's died.
Lt. Colonel Halt: I...I think it's something here on the ground. I think it's something.....very large....
Sgt. Nevilles: ....a tree right over...
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: We just bumped into the first light that we've seen. We're about a 150-200 yards from the site. Everything else is just deathly calm. There's no doubt about it, there's some kind of strange flashing red light ahead.
Sgt. Nevilles: Yeah, It's yellow.
Lt. Colonel Halt: I saw a yellow tinge in it too. Weird. It appears to be making a little bit this way?
Sgt. Nevilles: Yes sir
Lt. Colonel Halt: It's brighter than it has been...It's coming this way. It's definitely coming this way.
Sgt. Ball: Pieces are shooting off!
Lt. Colonel Halt: Pieces of it are shooting off.
Sgt. Ball: at about 11 oclock (12 oclock being directly up, 3 oclock being to the right etc.)
Lt. Colonel Halt: There's no doubt about it - this is weird!
Sgt. Ball: Look to the left!
Sgt. Nevilles: There's two lights. One light to the right and one light to the left.
Lt. Colonel Halt: Keep your flash light off. There's something very, very strange. Check the headset out see if it gets any stronger. Give us...
Sgt. Nevilles: OK, I have an indication that this is a vague reading too
Lt. Colonel Halt: A vague reading?
Sgt. Nevilles: The ? has been removed
[Break]
Lt. Colonel Halt: OK, pieces are falling off it again
Sgt. Ball: It just moved to the right...went off to the right
Lt. Colonel Halt: Yeah ....strange, Ahh.
Lt. Englund: Went off to the right.
Lt. Colonel Halt: Strange. One again left. Let's approach the edge of the woods at that point. Can we do without lights? Let's do it carefully, come on... OK we're looking at the thing, we're probably about 2-3 hundred yards away. It looks like an eye winking at you, it's still moving from side to side and when we put the star scope on it, it's sort of a hollow centre right, a dark centre, it's...
Lt. Englund: It's like a pupil...
Lt. Colonel Halt: It's like the pupil of an eye looking at you, winking...and the flash is so bright to the Star scope, err.... it almost burns your eye.
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: We've passed the farmer's house and are crossing the next field and we now have multiple sightings of up to five lights with a similar shape and all, but they seem steady rather than pulsating a glow with a red flash. We've just crossed the creek...
Lt. Englund: Here we go...
Lt. Colonel Halt: What kinda readings are we getting now? We're getting three good clicks on the meteor and we're seeing strange lights in the sky.
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: 2.44: We're at the far side of the farmers, the second farmers field and made sighting again about 110 degrees. This looks clear out to the coast. It's right on the horizon. Moves about a bit and flashes from time to time. Still steady and red in colour. Also, after negative readings in the field, we're picking up slight readings 4-5 clicks now on the meter.
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: 3.05: We see strange err, strobe like flashes to the err ... almost sporadic, but there's definitely something there, some kind of phenomena.
3.05: At about err..10 degrees horizon err directly north, we got two strange objects, err..half moon shape, dancing about with coloured lights on them. but err. it has to be about 5-10 miles out, maybe less. The half moons have now turned into full circles as though there was an e...eclipse or something there for a minute or two.
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: 3.15: Now we've got an object about ten degrees directly south...
Sgt. Nevilles: There's one to the left
Lt. Colonel Halt: 10 degrees off the horizon, and the ones to the north are moving, one's moving away from us.
Sgt. Nevilles: It's moving out fast
Lt. Colonel Halt: They're moving out fast.
Sgt. Ball: There's one on the right chasing away too.
Lt. Colonel Halt: Yeah, they're both heading north. H...here he comes from the south; he's coming in toward us now!
Sgt. Ball: Sh*t.
Lt. Colonel Halt: Now were observing what appears to be a beam coming down to the ground!
[Excited discussion in background]
Sgt. Ball: ...Colours...Sh*t.
Lt. Colonel Halt: This is unreal!
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: 3.30: And the objects are still in the sky, although the one to the south looks like it's loosing a little bit of altitude. We're turning around and heading back toward the base. The object to the...the object to the south is still beaming down lights to the ground.
[Break in tape]
Lt. Colonel Halt: 0:400 Hours one object still hovering over the Woodbridge base at about 5-10 degrees off the horizon. Still moving erratic and similar lights beaming down as earlier
End of tape: duration approx. 18 minutes

That's only a small portion of the 18-minute tape which can be heard here:

ah right. relieved.
I had a good watch of the youtube video and it is amazing, how the round objects merge...and the main one jets upwards at the very end. interesting also is the way the last dot on the top left handside seems to take its time, strolling along...a family? one entity having a good look at us?
so why not interact with us there and then? maybe because while we are in the throes of loneliness and eager to find another specy, they may know very well plenty other species/planets and are just strolling along. like we dont matter. Im going to think about that video for a while! 🙂
wow.
so a beam for quite a while (an hour??) over a base? an army base?
and pupils-like lights blinking....so interesting.
What have become of these 2 men? have they tried to research UFO since or have they fallen into oblivion?
and thank you for sharing!
Hi, I've read this topic from start to finish and just going back to the alien abductions and crop circle chat, I'd just like to share an experience I had back in 1989.
I was working at a livery stables during the hot summer in a tiny village in Berkshire, when checking 2 horses in their field which was next to a harvested corn field we (the horses and I) noticed a circle of straw swirling around a couple of feet away from the fence separating the two fields. To our surprise especially when their was no breeze whats so ever no clouds in the sky, the circle of straw started to raise up to about 3-4 feet making a column of straw swirling :eek:. Then if that wasnt scary enough, the column of straw started moving towards us - through the fence :confused:. It was as though it picked up on our energy, one of the horses and me looked at each other and we immediately started stepping backwards, but the other horse turned quickly and galloped across the field to the far corner where there was a big oak tree, and the straw column immediately followed the galloping horse leaving a trail of straw across the field and within a few seconds the oak tree's branches were swaying and covered in straw...was the column formed from a passing UFO or from the earths natural energy reacting to the hot summer heat???
That night after checking the stabled horses, I retired to bed but not long after I turned off my light and my head hit the pillow, my room was suddenly lit up with a bright light from outside (bear in mind my cottage was set back away from the narrow lane and there were no street lights) and I was being pulled from my bed...I had managed to grip on to my headboard for about 7-10 minutes as my body was off the bed and just as I thought I couldnt hold on much longer the room went dark again and I dropped on to my bed and was soaking wet with sweat!! ....was this an attempted abduction?? or an out of body experience???
The next day an un-harvested field across the road from the harvested corn field had a large crop circle in it!! .....was this made by a UFO and the energy was pulling me out of my bed???
I read most of the UFO reports of 1989 (nearly all 400 of them) and some are similar to what I had experienced, but even after 20 years this experience still baffles me and I often wonder if all the events of the day and night are linked.
🙂

Whatever happened seems to have been far more spectacular overall than the tape or transcript suggest.
For far longer than an hour, and over three nights, over a nuclear base our airspace was invaded. It's widely reported by personnel at the time that a saucer was surrounded by UK police and American personnel, with many photos and videos being taken. One guard claims to have touched the craft. After so many years it's hard to prove everything, but some claiming to have been there say there was high-level contact, the base commander being seen face-to-face with aliens.
An unscheduled and secretive flight then took the videos and some objects to the USA.
All US personnel who were involved were broken up from each other and sent to bases around the world very soon after to confabulate their mutual story - there were far more than two involved. dozens. It's taken a long time to track even some of them down again.
