Researcher Grant Cameron has described a meeting between Jim Penniston, one of the key witnesses in the December 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident in England, former CIA physician Kit Green and a lawyer, concerning Penniston's health and his experiences. The meeting's details are known only from Cameron's account.[1]
Penniston
Penniston was a U.S. Air Force security sergeant at RAF Bentwaters who said that on the night of 26 December 1980 he approached and touched a landed craft in Rendlesham Forest. Years later he said that when he touched it, a stream of binary code was transmitted into his mind, which he wrote down in a notebook; decoded, it was said to read in part "exploration of humanity continuous beyond 8100". This claim was not in his earliest statements, and critics have noted that notebook pages shown in a documentary did not display the binary strings.[2][3]
Health and Kit Green
Like fellow witness John Burroughs, Penniston has reported health problems that he attributes to the encounter. Burroughs fought for years to obtain his medical records before the Department of Veterans Affairs granted him full disability benefits in 2015. Green, a physician who worked for the CIA and later for General Motors, has long studied the reported health effects of close encounters with UAP, including for the Pentagon's AAWSAP program.[3][4]
Status
No other participant has publicly described the meeting, and no official record of it is known. Rendlesham remains Britain's best-known UFO case; skeptics argue the airmen saw the beam of the Orford Ness lighthouse and other lights.[2][5]
