  Hy-Brasil is a mysterious island appearing on maps from 1325 to the 1800s Ancient Origins: "Hy-Brasil: The Legendary Phantom Island of Ireland" Hy-Brasil is a mysterious island appearing on maps from 1325 to the 1800s. In Irish myth, it was said to be clouded in mist except for one day every seven years, when it became visible but still could not be reached. Stories about the island have circulated throughout Europe for centuries, with tales that it was the promised land of saints or a paradise where an advanced civilization lived. On most maps, the island was located roughly 321 km (200 miles) off the west coast of Ireland in the North Atlantic Ocean. One of the most distinctive geographical features of Hy-Brasil on those maps is that it often appears as a circle with a channel (or river) running east to west across it.

  “I did drive General Gordon Williams to an F-16 on the Bentwaters tarmac the AM of December 30th. He had two canisters of 35mm footage with him. …He told me directly that it was actual footage of the UFOs on the ground.” – Mike Verrano, RAF Bentwaters Capt. and Day Shift Commander, December 1980 Major General Gordon E. Williams was director for plans and policy, J-5, Headquarters U.S. European Command, Stuttgart-Vaihingen, West Germany. General Williams was born in 1935, in Nashua, N.H., and graduated from Alvirne High School, Hudson, N.H., in 1953. He earned a bachelor of science degree in general engineering from the U.S. Military Academy in 1957 and a master of science degree in systems management from the University of Southern California in 1971. He completed Air Command and Staff College in 1969, National War College in 1975 and Harvard University's executive program on national and international security in 1983. He entered pilot training in August 1957 and received his wi

The Rendlesham Enigma . . . No Defense Significance? By Gary Osborn and Jim Penniston (USAF ret) Quoting Nick Pope: “By the MoD’s own admission, there was no definitive explanation for the Rendlesham Forest incident and the case remains unexplained to this day. However, when pressed to make a statement on the incident, the MoD has consistently said that the events were judged to be of “no defense significance . . .”  Rendlesham Forest by Nick Pope Then how are we to explain the following testimony in which a USAF Airman, Mark E. Cartier, who was stationed at Hellenikon USAF AB, Athens, Greece, in 1980, remembered how the UFO incident close to the Bentwaters and Woodbridge USAF bases in Suffolk, England on the early morning hours of December 26, 1980, required that all European block military bases were to go on alert status, moving from DEFCON 4 to DEFCON 2 . . . just one step away from DEFCON 1, which meant war?

  Airman First Class (A1C) Ed Cabansag was strongly "encouraged" or forced to sanitize the events that took place in Rendlesham Forest 1980. He accompanied Jim Penniston and John Burroughs, with investigating a craft of unknown origin, that landed and was sitting\hovering on the forest floor.  The craft emitted a blinding dome of white light with yellow, orangish red and blue lights pulsing near or on the skin of the craft.  The following is the sanitized version of Cabansag's statement he was forced to write and sign. “On 26 Dec 80, SSgt Penniston and I were on Security #6 at Woodbridge Base. I was the member. We were patrolling Delta NAPA when we received a call over the radio. It stated that Police #4 had seen some strange lights out past the East Gate and we were to respond. SSgt Penniston and I left Delta NAPA, heading for the East Gate code two. When we got there SSgt Steffens and A1C Burroughs were on patrol. They told us they had seen some funny lights out in the

  Colonel Ted Conrad, RAF Bentwaters   In 1980, United States Air Force Colonel Ted Conrad was base commander of the twin airfields of Woodbridge and Bentwaters, near Ipswich, which are understood at the time to have stored nuclear weapons.  Just after Christmas mysterious lights were seen in the sky above nearby Rendlesham Forest, and after a second night of reports from his men, Col. Conrad investigated himself.  During the day, he went into the forest himself to a clearing where the lights had been seen and where markings on trees and on the ground had been found, indicating a possible landing by a spacecraft. Col. Conrad said he found them “unremarkable”. Nevertheless, he returned to the base and handpicked a team of his best security officers and sent them in the forest that evening to investigate.  Armed with a Geiger counter, cameras and night vision devices they staked out the “landing site”. After seeing nothing suspicious, most of the team returned to base late that night. A

A well recorded and little known event in the Western world would be the events of the Utsuro Bune. This is a myth dating from circa 1800 Japan. It states that a unidentified floating object washed up on the shore. The inhabitants of the village witnessed the object on the shore stating that is was spherical with strange writing on it. Out of the capsule came a woman dressed in fine clothing. She spoke a different language and was not able to communicate with the locals.   A pale, redheaded woman was alone inside the ship. Below:  Writing witnessed and notated by Jim Penniston from the left side of the craft of unknown origin in the Rendlesham Forest, December 26th, 1980. Here I would like to show the similarities between these two writings (Utsuro Bune year circa 1880 and The Rendlesham Forest Incident 1980), despite the time difference of 200 years.  It seems rather odd that there would be any similarities between these two. However, it can be seen that the commonality is the triangl
