Britain's most celebrated UFO sighting was a "lorry full of fertiliser"

That's what this story is, a load of fertilizer (as spelled in the US).

Britain's most celebrated UFO sighting was a "lorry full of fertiliser" - Telegraph

Rendlesham solved at last. Just one question. How did he get a burning fertlizer truck to zip around the sky shooting beams of light down onto the ground as witnessed by Col Lt Halt and many others?

What a plonker (as we say here in the UK).

 

[Siani]

How exactly does one tow a burning truckload of fertiliser through a forest without setting fires along its route? And what about this?

Some of the airmen from the base thought it was a multi-coloured cross from out of space, and with the truck tyres popping they were getting a bit edgy. They had guns and we didn’t want to get in their way so we towed the burning vehicle onto the road.
​

What absolute tosh. If they were close enough to hear what the airmen were discussing, they were close enough to be seen by these very same airmen, and their burning truck identified as such. Besides, whatever they were towing this alleged truck with would have had an engine, which would have been clearly audible at such close quarters. I've never heard any of the witnesses mention hearing an engine. And what happened to the truck afterwards? Absolute cack.

Although I keep an open mind about Rendlesham, the only steaming heap of cack I see in this story, is this man's ridiculous claim.

This will make the skeptics' day - & I bet they wouldn't even think to say that the man was fabricating the story, or was somehow mistaken . . . :

What a bleeping moron.

This man's actions that night certainly suggest that he's not too bright. I can't help wondering whether he's telling the whole truth.

I could excuse him for not doing his research on the Rendlesham incident but I can not excuse The Telegraph for the same. This is an excellent example showing the mainstream media's attitude toward UFO sightings.

All they seem to want to do is look for a joke. It's not reporting, it's brain washing. Furthermore, most of the public seem to succumb to said brain washing; that worries me.

Even if it could be proved that no alien vehicles had ever visited this planet would it not be sensible to take the prospect of a visit, at least, seriously.

Perhaps people regard it as a joke because, in truth, they know it is/would be a big issue and one that they are not fit to deal with. On the other hand maybe most people are idiots.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Stories like these make it out and that's what the vast majority of people see. If it's in the paper it must be true, right? Rubbish.

Okay. So what he had a truck full of burning fertilizer around the time of the Rendlesham incident. Only compete idiots would link the two.

I hate the mainstream media. I mean come'on look at the guys picture. I'm sure they took a few where he didn't look so bugged eyed. Looks like the Telegraph purposely placed that picture to steer opinion. Morons.

So it wasn't a lighthouse in the distance that fooled all those highly trained officers and enlisted men at the airbase where nukes were deployed? It was some schmuck towing a burning load of fertilizer? Are the Brits trying to keep up with the Roswell episode for the sheer number of ludicrous official explanations?

Flaming Load of Fertilizer is the new Swamp Gas! Also, I think Flaming Load of Fertilizer would make a great name for a rock band. It would soon be shortened to Flaming Load, then eventually just Load.

 

[Jeff Crowell]

A cynical skeptic if there's ever been one. You can't explain a clearly defined and observed disk-shaped craft, or other such witness event, as being stationary lights in the sky (Venus), swamp gas (when you're in the middle of a field), or a truck load of burning dung (when it repeats over 2 nights and is accompanied with direct testimony, direct interaction, and a wash of detail that far exceeds such a simplistic answer.

Don't these people just want to make you scream?? Still this guy is far more interesting than he seems.

Case in point. Peter Robbins was on the "Eye to the Sky" podcast a few weeks ago talking about Rendlesham amongst other things. He related to Dee Andrew the story of how one guy was driving through the forest late at night when suddenly his car started playing up. So ... he moved to the side of the road and as he did so he noticed another car coming up behind him.

The car then proceeded to move up behind him and then glide effortlessly into the air and fly over his car coming to rest again on the ground, "driving" off into the distance before turning down a side road (a la Close Encounters).

So ... this guy ... he's only got a sodding anti-gravity fertiliser truck . Now how cool is that .

Musta been him. Just like all those crop circles of Mandelbrot sets were done by two old geezers with inhalers and a 2 x 4 in pitch dark.
