Rendelsham UFO film set for Raindance Festival
A documentary charting one of the most famous purported UFO sightings in history is to be shown at a film festival. "The Rendlesham UFO – The British Roswell" investigated reports made by US airmen who claimed to have witnessed a UFO in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, in December 1980. Mark Lee, co-director of the documentary, said the aim was "to create a conversation, as I am getting hundreds of people a week sending sightings and videos". It will premiere at the Raindance Film Festival in London on 24 and 25 June. On 26 December 1980, several United States Air Force (USAF) security personnel stationed at RAF Woodbridge, reported that they investigated "lights" in the surrounding forest. The sighting became headline news in the UK and sparked a host of books, dramas, documentaries and websites, suggesting it was either an actual alien visit, a secret military aircraft, a misinterpretation of natural lights or the beam of Orfordness Lighthouse - or a hoax. According to the creators of the documentary, it will feature exclusive interviews and never-before-seen footage of recent sightings in the forest. The Rendlesham Forest story has been dubbed the "British Roswell" after the 1947 Roswell Incident in New Mexico, USA. The documentary follows Mr Lee and co-investigator Guy Thompson searching for the truth armed with metal detectors and dowsing rods. The film has been described as a "sensational UFO road trip movie". Mr Lee, who has a science degree, said: "There is something unexplained there and there are so many credible witnesses to the event." The 54-year-old from St Albans co-directed the film with Roderick Godman. "I am more of the ideas and production - and Roderick made the film," he said. "There had been sightings of UFOs leading up to the 1980 sighting, and going back in through the decades." He added that he had an "open mind" about what the sightings were. Narrating the documentary is William B. Davis, best known for starring in The X-Files. Mr Lee said he was really excited to work with Davis, who recorded the voiceover in Vancouver, Canada. He added that he only got into the film making industry five years ago, and it "was a dream come true" as he was nominated for best director.

Scientist delivers ominous message to humanity after UFO covered in strange writing is found
A UFO researcher has an ominous message for humanity as governments around the world begin releasing more information about alleged contact with extraterrestrials. Dr Julia Mossbridge is a cognitive neuroscientist and a researcher of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) - the new term for UFOs and alien sightings. After scientists in Colombia recovered a mysterious, sphere-shaped object that many now believe is a piece of UFO technology, Mossbridge said the world is moving into an era which may soon have to deal with the knowledge that aliens exist. 'We are entering a time when we are starting to recognize as humans we don't have the control that we thought we had over everything,' Dr Mossbridge told Fox News. However, Mossbridge, who studies how humans think and also attended the May 1 congressional hearing on UAPs, said the impending disclosure of alien life could throw the worldview of many people into chaos. 'One of the mistakes we make is [saying], because I think I understand this, everything I think today is true,' the neuroscientist explained. 'It ends up making us very confused when something shows up that doesn't fit our model of the world,' she added. While the sphere in Colombia is convincing many that the public is finally looking at alien technology, Mossbridge actually remains skeptical that this discovery is a genuine UFO. The so-called ' UFO ' was spotted in March over the town of Buga, zig-zagging through the sky in a way that defies the movement of conventional aircraft 'The sphere itself seems kind of like an art project,' the UFO researcher said, adding that she believes it was created by humans, not aliens. Mossbridge noted that no direct connection has been made between a video of what's being called the Buga sphere and the actual metal object found in Colombia. 'If an artist is doing this, why is that? Well, I think it's partly the same reason. It's because we're learning that we don't understand what's in our skies or our waters. And there's something going on that's essentially bigger than us,' Mossbridge explained. The so-called ' UFO ' was spotted in March over the town of Buga, zig-zagging through the sky in a way that defies the movement of conventional aircraft. That same object was allegedly recovered shortly after it landed and has since been analyzed by scientists, who discovered it features three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus they are calling 'a chip.' Dr Jose Luis Velazquez, a radiologist who examined the sphere, reported finding 'no welds or joints,' which would typically provide a clue that humans made it. 'It is of artificial origin, in that it shows no evidence of welding, and its internal structure is composed of high-density elements. More testing is needed to establish its origin,' Velazquez and his team contended. The sphere also displays symbols that the team compared to ancient scripts, including runes, Ogham and Mesopotamian writing systems. Using AI to assist in deciphering the design, the team interpreted the message to read: 'The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness — individual consciousness.' 'We interpret it as a message to humanity, encouraging a collective shift in consciousness to help Mother Earth—especially considering the current issues with pollution and environmental decline,' the researchers said. David Velez el Potro, one of the individuals who recovered the object, recently spoke on Maussan Television hosted by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan, whose research has stirred controversy for nearly a decade. Maussan gained attention in 2017 when he claimed to have discovered alien mummies in Peru—findings that remain unconfirmed. Velez el Potro has claimed that the sphere is authentic, found in the woods of Buga. He told Maussan that the man who found it, Jose, felt sick for days after touching the object. 'When I poured water on it, it started to smoke and the water vaporized instantly,' Velez el Potro added, suggesting the interior was hot and exterior cold. There have been no official reports or scientific analysis to confirm claims of a sphere falling over Buga. Only eyewitness reports. Velez el Potro said the government contacted him to hand it over the sphere, but he refused, saying, 'It would never be seen again.' Mossbridge noted that Velez el Potro's alleged discovery is the latest incident where people outside of the government are trying to find out what's going on with UAPs before someone comes in and shuts down the investigation. Non-governmental, non-partisan research groups like the Galileo Project and the Scientific Coalition for UAP studies have all been working to prove the existence of alien life in recent years. 'They are all trying to get rigorous information themselves, not necessarily waiting on the federal government, about what's going on in our skies, what's going on in our waters,' she said. Velez el Potro gave it to Maussan and his team of experts with hopes of them uncovering the sphere's origin. Researchers found that the sphere had irregular edges, 'indicating that it is a solid object.' The findings suggest that the outer layer could be made of titanium or steel, but researchers noted that a full composition analysis is needed to confirm this. X-rays did not reveal any visible signs of how the mysterious object was assembled.
