Large holes in the Halt tape.

While an excerpt of the Halt Tape and its full transcription has been made publicly available by researcher Ian Ridpath, the Halt affidavit of June 2010 has complicated the integrity of Halt’s initial report.

According to Ian Ridpath, there are six notable problems with Halt’s claims. For instance, he originally failed to mention the nearby Orford Ness lighthouse, which could have been responsible for some of the lights. Later, he tried to claim that lighthouse was about 40 degrees to the right of where he saw the mysterious light. However, photographs and maps revealed the lighthouse was nearly in line with the direction he claimed to see the UFO.

Other oddities include Halt failing to mention a laser-like beam of light coming near his feet in his original audio recording or memo — while making a point to include this shocking claim in several interviews since 1980. Finally, Halt’s claim that “several airmen” were present and saw this laser beam is dubious, at least.

Airman Tim Egercic, who was on duty at the time, firmly denied seeing any such beams — as did Base Commander Col. Ted Conrad, Halt’s superior.

So Conrad was furious when Halt claimed in his affidavit that he believes a cover-up occurred on behalf of both the U.S. and the U.K. “He should be ashamed and embarrassed by his allegation that his country and England both conspired to deceive their citizens over this issue,” said Conrad. “He knows better.”

According to The Daily Mail, it’s been claimed that Britain’s Special Air Service (SAS) parachuted into the RAF Woodbridge complex in August 1980 and were later captured and subjugated to intense interrogation.

“After their release, the troopers made no complaint at their rough treatment but were determined to get their own back on the USAF for the beating that they received,” said British X-files expert Dr. David Clarke.

“In particular, their repeated characterization as ‘aliens’ sowed the seeds of a plan. They said: ‘They called us aliens. Right, we’ll show them what aliens really look like.'”

The theory posits that this group of disgruntled soldiers used helium balloons, colored flares, and lights that were tactically remote-controlled across the sky to fool U.S. and U.K. personnel.

Whether or not this tale of horseplay is true and explains away what happened in Rendlesham that December is unclear. As it stands, the frustrating mystery confused by contradictory accounts and levels of skepticism will likely remain open-ended for good.
