This one’s the basis for The Whisperer In Darkness. On Boxing Day, December 1980, a number of servicemen at RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, reported some strange lights descending into nearby Rendlesham Forest. When they went to investigate, they claimed they found a glowing metal object, which darted off through the trees when they tried to approach it. A second sighting occurred two nights later. There have been various claims of a hoax in the decades since, but it remains probably the most famous UFO ‘sighting’ in the UK. 2. The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor

More enduring theories involve integration between the colonists and the Croatoans or other local tribes, but so far, no DNA evidence has positively identified any descendants of the colony. Scientists still can’t explain these enigmatic mysteries. 40 | The case of Bobby Dunbar The child raised as Bobby Dunbar standing in front of a car.At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings.
