Linda Moulton Howe continues her examination into the strange events of Rendlesham Forest in December of 1980. This time, we learn of the ramifications of physical contact made with an alien craft by one of the airmen stationed at the base. The presence of this craft was confirmed by an investigative team, sent out the next morning. What happened to John Burroughs that night remains foggy, but details of his experience are finally coaxed out in another hypnosis session which takes him back to his fateful encounter.
