Two former military technicians have claimed a UFO WAS caught on radar and seen from the control tower of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge as well as in Rendlesham Forest, near Woodbridge, in Suffolk.
The claims are made in a new documentary which tries to tie up evidence linking UFO and alien visitations with nuclear facilities on Earth.
UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed, which is available to view online on Vimeo, is the culmination of years of investigation by researcher Robert Hastings, who penned the book UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites.
The film makes the case that alleged UFO crews have maintained a consistent interest in nuclear facilities on Earth.
There have been numerous alleged sightings by serving and former military personal and other witnesses of supposed UFOs over such installations for several decades.
The documentary says that nuclear weapons were being stored at Bentwaters at the time of the Rendlesham incident.
It has been dubbed Britain's Roswell after the mystery and infamouus UFO crash that allegedly happened outside the town in New Mexico, USA in July 1947.
The RAF bases were leased by the USAF at the time.
The UK alien sighting happened when three US officers based at RAF Bentwaters claimed a "triangular shaped craft" landed in neighbouring woods in the early hours of December 26 1980.
Robert Hastings/Verifiable PicturesRetired Colonel Charles Halt, 76, who was base deputy commander at the time, claimed the officers who first saw the lights, and then a UFO "on the floor", could not account for a 40 minute period while searching in the woods when their communication systems went "off air".
The three officers - John Burroughs, Bud Steffens, and James Penniston, later told of feeling "static" as they observed the object's flashing lights and hieroglyphic-like markings.
Mr Halt then said on the evening of December 27 1980 that officers had shouted: "It's back, the UFO's back."
Mr Halt went to investigate with a team who found three 1.5inch "impact holes," damage to the canopies of trees and "higher radiation levels" in the "landing" area.
A plaster cast was later taken of one of the holes, but mysteriously disappeared from a box it was stored in.
He said soon after they saw a mysterious object in a field between the woods and a farmhouse with "a red light moving."
He said: "It came towards us into the forest, moving, bobbing up and down in the trees. It was oval, about 100 to 150 yards away, with a dark centre and red around it."
He claimed there were "sparks" coming from it and after a minute it "exploded and disappeared."
They then spotted objects in the sky, 3,000 to 4,000ft up.

The case was later investigated by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), but it concluded there was no evidence of alien visitations or any national security risk, and the sightings were most likely the result of beams of light from a nearby coastal lighthouse.
The new claims in the film appear to back up those made by Mr Holt last July when he appeared at a Rendlesham UFO conference, in Woodbridge, Suffolk, to mark the 35th anniversary of the sighting last July.
The new documentary says, at the time, RAF Bentwaters was the "largest American tactical nuclear bomb depot in Europe".
In an interview with Open Minds UFO Radio, Mr Hastings said in 2006 he noticed there had never been any testimony from air traffic controllers at the time about anything being caught on radar.
He tracked down who was manning the radars and control tower at the time and identified them as Jim Carey and Ike Barker.
The pair reveal their testimonies in the video for the first time, claiming a UFO was caught on radar, and that they saw it.
Mr Carey described seeing an object on radar when Mr Halt was in the forest.
