For the benefit of any 'newbies' (as IR patronisingly calls them) that haven't visited the forest, the idea that the Orford light is the major factor in the Rendlesham incident simply doesn't wash. I've been visiting the Forest since 1976 and can assure you that the 'beam' does not and never did 'sweep through the tree-tops' as often reported. The light house can be seen from the picnic table, but its light is now and always was a tiny red spark on the horizon. Ian R insists on publishing photos that suggest the lighthouse is just the other side of the Capel Green landing field: it isn't!
A better, up-to-date photo is on a site I found the other day:
