Flying Saucer Review, Volume 29, No. 2

This document is Volume 29, No. 2 of the Flying Saucer Review, published in December 1983. The issue focuses on the alleged cover-up of UFO sightings in the United Kingdom, with particular emphasis on the Rendlesham Forest incident. The editorial staff discusses the interest shown by the British newspaper 'News of the World' in the Rendlesham case, which involved a report by Lt. Col. Charles I. Halt of the U.S.A.F. 81st Tactical Fighter Wing. The journal asserts that the British government has historically maintained a policy of confusion regarding UFOs, citing a 1955 parliamentary exchange between Major Patrick Wall and the Under-Secretary of State for Air, George Ward. The journal also reprints an editorial from 1955, which highlights the Air Ministry's refusal to release findings on UFO reports. Additionally, the issue includes a field report by Omar Fowler, Chairman of S.I.G.A.P., regarding a sighting near Aldershot, Hampshire, on August 12, 1983. The witness, 77-year-old Alfred Burtoo, reported encountering two entities described as being over four feet tall, wearing pale green overalls and visors, while fishing on the Basingstoke Canal. The journal maintains that the public is interested in the truth about UFOs and that the 'official wall of silence' is ineffective.
