James Penniston’s Testimony at Citizen Hearing for UFO Disclosure in 2013

• In late December 1980, US Air Force Sergeant James Penniston was stationed at RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England when the infamous ‘Rendlesham Forest incident’ occurred. The incident involved a series of sightings of unexplained lights descending into the forest adjacent to the base. The British Ministry of Defence said whatever occurred posed no threat to national security and so it was never fully investigated. Skeptics have dismissed it as a series of nocturnal lights or even a fireball.

• Penniston appeared at the Citizen Hearing for UFO Disclosure in 2013 (pictured above) – a mock congressional hearing where 40 UFO witnesses testified to five Congressman and one Senator – to recount his experience. (see Citizen Hearing website here) He claimed that a UFO landed in the forest, and he walked up to it and touched it. “As I came around (the craft) I’ve seen there is an inscription on the front.” Penniston was able to draw the “inscription”, and showed it to the Congressmen. “That’s what I saw.” A copy of his drawing shows what appears to be five discernible objects that don’t bear any similarity to Earth’s languages.

• “It was smooth to touch,” Penniston continued. “I looked down and there was no wing but it was about two feet off the ground. I’m pushing the craft but it doesn’t move. It’s solid as can be. Unbeknownst to me, it was radioactive which is probably why it was warm. Then as I walked around it I realized it definitely wasn’t anything we had. And it sure as hell wasn’t anything the Russians had.” (see below the full 2013 Citizen Hearing on UFO Disclosure video pertaining to the Rendlesham Forest Incident.)

A retired United States Air Force (USAF) sergeant has claimed he touched a UFO and was

even able to draw the “inscription” it had on its side.

Sergeant James Penniston was stationed at RAF Woodbridge when the infamous Rendlesham Forest incident occurred in late December 1980.

Known as “Britain’s Roswell”, the incident involved a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights descending into Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk in late December 1980.

At the time, the Ministry of Defense said whatever occurred posed no threat to national security and it was never investigated

fully.

And sceptics have often dismissed it as a series of nocturnal lights or even a fireball.

But, nevertheless, Sgt. Penniston’s account continues to amaze and baffle.

He appeared at Citizen Hearing – a mock congressional hearing where 40 UFO witnesses testified to five congressman and one senator – to recount his experience.

“I got up and composed myself just a little bit,” he said. “As I came around I’ve seen there is an inscription on the front.

“That’s what I saw.” A copy of his drawing shows what appears to be five discernible objects that don’t bear any similarity to Earth’s languages.
