Ep 7. UFOs Vs. The Royal Air Force

In the seventh episode of season 2 of UFOs: The Lost Evidence, viewers are taken on a journey through the history of UFO sightings and encounters with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the United Kingdom. The episode begins with a brief introduction to the RAF and their role in defending British airspace.

The first segment of the episode focuses on a sighting that occurred in 1956 by two RAF pilots while on a training mission. They reported seeing a UFO and were able to provide detailed sketches of the object. The incident was investigated by the RAF and no reasonable explanation for the sighting was found. The episode also explores other sightings reported by RAF personnel over the years, including one in 1979 where a UFO was seen hovering above a nuclear weapons storage facility.

The episode then delves into the mysterious case of Bentwaters Air Force Base. In December 1980, several United States Air Force (USAF) personnel stationed at the base reported seeing strange lights in the nearby Rendlesham Forest. The lights appeared to be moving in a controlled manner and emitting radiation. One of the witnesses, retired USAF Staff Sergeant Jim Penniston, claims to have touched the object and recorded strange symbols in his notebook.

The episode features interviews with Penniston, as well as other eyewitnesses and experts, as they explore the possibility that the Bentwaters incident involved extraterrestrial technology. The program also discusses the investigation conducted by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the varying explanations that have been put forth to explain the incident.

Next, the episode examines the work of UK-based researcher, Nick Pope, who was tasked with investigating UFO sightings for the MoD in the 1990s. The program details some of the cases Pope worked on, including one known as the Cosford Incident. In March 1993, several witnesses reported seeing triangular-shaped UFOs above RAF Cosford in Shropshire. Pope investigated the incident and concluded that the witnesses were credible and that the object was likely of extraterrestrial origin.

The episode then shifts to the case of the infamous UFO flap over Belgium in 1989-1990. RAF personnel stationed in the UK were put on high alert during this time and were in apparent communication with their Belgian counterparts. The program explores whether the UK and Belgium collaborated on investigating these sightings and why the UK has been largely silent on the matter.

The episode concludes by considering the implications of these sightings and the possible consequences of UFO encounters with military forces. The program features interviews with experts and former military personnel who speculate on the potential impact a UFO sighting or encounter could have on national security and the world at large.

Overall, UFOs: The Lost Evidence season 2 episode 7 provides a comprehensive look at UFO sightings and encounters with the Royal Air Force in the UK. The program offers a mix of eyewitness accounts, expert analysis, and historical research that will intrigue both UFO believers and skeptics alike.
