TRANSCRIPT OF THE HALT TAPE (Part II) Investigating the UFOs

The following full transcript is of a tape recording that was
made by Lt Colonel Halt during his investigation into the
Rendlesham Forest incident in December 1980. This was taken from
the original copy, which is much clearer than the one in the
public domain. It was sent to me by Colonel Sam Morgan, via
General Gordon Williams. Permission to publish as long as the

This transcript and many more details relating to the "Halt
tape" are featured in my book.

----------------------------

Rendlesham Forest, December 1980

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: Right on this position here. Straight ahead in
between the trees...[Adrian Bustinza pointed out that someone
saw a light going through 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 rom the site, out through the
clearing now. Still getting a reading on the meter about 2
clicks. Needles jumped 3-4 clicks getting stronger. [Bustinza
said that when he returned with the light-all the patrol were in
a clearing on the edge of the forest]

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.

SERGEANT NEVILLES: Yes sir............................[????]
Cough; 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.

MASTER SERGEANT BALL: Pieces are shooting off.

LT COLONEL HALT: Pieces of it are shooting off.

MASTER SERGEANT BALL: at about 11 o clock..... [referring to its
position]

LT COLONEL HALT: There’s no doubt about it; this is weird.

MASTER 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 cable has been removed

LT COLONEL HALT: OK.. pieces are falling off it again

MASTER SERGEANT BALL: It just moved to the right...went off to
the right

LT COLONEL HALT: Yeah ....strange, Auh.

LT ENGLUND: Went off to the right.

LT COLONEL HALT: Strange. Ahhh. 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 starscope on it, it’s sorta 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 starscope, that
err.... it almost burns your eye.

Added Note:

[There is now a huge gap and no indication of what happened
next]

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 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.

MASTER SGT BALL: There’s one on the right heading away too.

LT COLONEL HALT: Yeah, they’re both heading north. Hey, here he
comes from the south; he’s coming in toward us now.

MASTER SERGEANT BALL: Shit

LT COLONEL HALT: Now were observing what appears to be a beam
coming down to the ground.

[Excited shouting in the background]

MASTER SGT BALL: Look at the colours...shit

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 sou...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.
