Two former USAF servicemen have returned to Suffolk, 30 years after the claims of UFO sightings in a forest.

Two nights ago (28 December 1980) history was made in Suffok East Anglia when close to 400 people packed into the Woodbridge Community Building to learn more about the United Kingdom's celebrated Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident thirty years to the day after the events in question had unfolded. Ipswich resident Gordon 'Gordy' Goodger led a superlative all volunteer team in making this one-of-a-kind conference a reality and the evening did not disappoint.

Peter Robbins, co-author, along with eyewitness Larry Warren, of the British bestseller "Left At East Gate: A First Hand Account of the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident, Its Cover-up and Investigation" was the first up to speak, followed by Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker Linda Moulton Howe, but the evening rightly belonged to John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, both witnesses to the first night's incredible events. for several highly charged hours they did their best to answer the audience's wildly varied questions to the very best of their abilities and memories.

This was followed by an extended question and answer session in which they were joined by Peter, Linda and Nick Pope, formerly of Her Majesty's Ministry of Defence. Five and a half hours later as the clock approached midnight, the speakers were joined by well over one hundred audience members on a drive out to the Rendlesham Forest where we accompanied Jim and John back to the East Gate of RAF Woodbridge where it had all begun 30 years prior. There they related in remarkable detail the particulars of that night for the assembled crowd. It was, in short, a memorable conference and a night which none of us who were fortunate enough to be there will soon forget. All profits from the events will go to East Anglia's Treehouse Children's Hospice Appeal, as will profits from the planned DVD release of the conference. Obviously this has been the most minimal account of this historic evening but we wanted you to have the basics asap. From London, Peter Robbins, 30 December 2010

On the TV show, 'Ancient Aliens' that aired new tonight, they showed Jim talking about how after he touched the craft in the forest, he had visions of a binary message that he later wrote down and kept to himself until just recently. It has been decoded by a computer expert in binary code to say: Exploration [of] Humanity Continues, and then I forgot the next word...and then 'planetary advancement.' It also included the latitude and longitude address of a small celtic island called Hye Brasil, which has always been known for its advance science and strange people! This is the real breaking news about the Rendlesham Forest event. I don't think I ever even heard that Penniston received a binary code message after all these years and I was really thrilled to see it

Brazil, also known as Hy-Brazil or several other variants,[1] is a phantom island which features in many Irish myths. It was said to be cloaked in mist, except for one day each seven years, when it became visible but could still not be reached. It probably has similar roots to St. Brendan's Island. The names Brazil and Hy-Brazil are thought to come from the Irish Uí Breasail (meaning "descendants (i.e., clan) of Breasal"), one of the ancient clans of northeastern Ireland. cf. Old Irish: Í: island; bres: beauty, worth; great, mighty.[2]

It appears that as the north Atlantic was explored, the name of Brazil may have been attached to a real place. A Catalan map of about 1480 labels two islands "Illa de brasil", one to the south west of Ireland (where the mythical place was supposed to be) and one south of "Illa verde" orGreenland. Expeditions left Bristol in 1480 and 1481 to search for it, and a letter written shortly after the return of John Cabot from his expedition in 1497 reports that land found by Cabot had been "discovered in the past by the men from Bristol who found Brasil".[3]

Some historians claim that the navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral thought that he had reached this island in 1500, thus naming the country of Brazil.[citation needed] However, Cabral didn't choose the name 'Brazil'. The country was at first named Ilha de Vera Cruz (Island of the True Cross), later Terra de Santa Cruz (Land of the Holy Cross) and still later 'Brazil'. The generally accepted theory states that it was renamed for the brazilwood, which has an extreme red color (so "brasil" derived from "brasa": ember), a plant very valuable in Portuguese commerce and abundant in the new-found land.

The island has also been identified with Terceira in the Azores, which was at one time named Brazil, while another phantom island sometimes known as Brazil was the Isle of Mam.

Others claimed to have seen the island, or even landed on it, the last supposed sighting being in 1872. Roderick O’Flaherty in A Chorographical Description of West or H-Iar Connaught (1684) tells us "There is now living, Morogh O'Ley (Murrough Ó Laoí), who imagins he was personally on O'Brasil for two days, and saw out of it the iles of Aran, Golamhead, Irrosbeghill, and other places of the west continent he was acquainted with."

On maps, the island was shown as being circular, often with a central strait or river running east-west across its diameter. Despite the failure of attempts to find it, it appeared regularly on maps lying south west of Galway Bay from 1325 until 1865, by which time it was called Brazil Rock.

It has also been identified with Porcupine Bank, a shoal in the Atlantic Ocean about 200 kilometers (124 mi) west of Ireland[4] and discovered in 1862. As early as 1870 a paper was read to the Geological Society of Ireland suggesting this identification.[5] The suggestion reappears regularly since, e.g. in an 1883 edition of Notes and Queries[6] and in various publications in the twentieth century, one of the most recent being Graham Hancock's book Underworld: Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age.
