ENCOUNTERS The Rendlesham Forest Case HISTORY CHANNEL 100 WORD STORY

"Bud Steffans was the first to spot this UFO. On his suggestion he has picked up Burroughs and is driving through the forest when he sees the thing on the ground flashing multi-coloured lights. It is already on the ground. Therefore there is no way of knowing whether it has landed or crashed - or indeed whether it has ever been airbourne. Yet when Penniston is interrogating Steffans, moments later, Steffans says, 'Nothing crashed, it landed.' How could he know? How could he possibly know?"

TAKEN IN THE GUARD HUT 

The Sargent’s face became mottled purple. “Out!”

“On Christmas Eve?”

“This isn’t a menagerie!”

Head awash with watery aromas and fear – my five year-old would hate me – I wrapped my arms around the bowl. “Sonny's Christmas present... I promised him –”

Multi-coloured lights rippled a scary Christmas. The hut shuddered. The goldfish bowl teetered near the bench’s edge. The air chilled. We crashed to our knees. White noise and high-pitched tones paralysed us. X-ray blue light illuminated too much of Sarge – inside and out.

It stopped. Yellow lights flickered on.

 “What the –?! Sarge?”

“UFO?”

“I’m fucked!” 
The goldfish had been taken.
