(April 1, 2010) The Evening Star reported that there have been recent sightings of unidentified flying objects in Rendlesham Forest near Woodbridge, England. A reader contacted the Evening Star saying his granddaughter and some of her friends saw a light above the treetops in Rendlesham. The UFO, the reader added, also frightened a man and his two dogs who were in a car parked in the area. The true nature of the light is still unknown and Suffolk police has as yet received no reports of UFO sightings.
The British Ministry of Defense investigated the area in 2009 after nine sightings were reported including "lights over Ipswich, a large black ball moving at 200mph over Bury St Edmunds, very bright white lights over Trimley St Mary, and fast moving orbs and 'sparkler-like' craft over west Suffolk". The Ministry of Defense has since closed down its UFO research unit. Due to the large amount of sightings that have been reported in Suffolk, the Evening Star set up a section called "Stargate Suffolk" to keep residents up-to-date with news about UFOs in the area.
Rendlesham became famous after United States military personnel stationed at the Twin Bases of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge saw a UFO in the forest on December 27, 1980. There have been suggestions that the area might be an inter-dimensional portal allowing extraterretrials to visit Earth.
