I was fascinated to see that 83% of the members voted that they believed the Rendlesham 1980 UFOs represented real objects of unknown origin as opposed to being an Apollo capsule or other accident or joke by the military, etc. that seems so popular to many of the frequent posters on this site. If I could have voted in that poll (wasn't a member back then), I would have voted with the vast majority since none of the doubters' points expressed here sound even close to being reasonable explanations of what happened in light of the facts as I understand them, i.e., that no noise occurred when the UFO was viewed by others, it disappeared in a blink of an eye (manmade vehicles in 1980 did not then or today land in the manner indicated by the witnesses, manipulate through trees as these did, vanish almost instantly, display other characteristics testified to by witnesses, etc.), the number and credibility of the eyewitnesses, the totality of the overall evidence which when viewed overall rules out all of the doubts raised on this board UNLESS THE WITNESSES ARE LYING, which I do not believe for one minute. While some testimonies may have become distorted due to attempts to hide the truth of what happened, I do not see anything raised so far by the doubters as being reasonable explanations of what happened. Would be interesting to see what that poll would reveal if redone after all the questions raised by the doubters in this group. I am willing to bet now that the majority vote would be at least as strong as it was when originally taken a year ago---my vote certainly would be added to the 83% majority. I find Rendlesham to be a much more convincing case than Roswell ever was.
