This documentary examines the events of August 13–14, 1956, when military personnel at RAF Bentwaters and RAF Lakenheath tracked multiple unidentified aerial objects using independent radar systems while several observers reported corresponding visual sightings. The incident culminated in the scramble of a Royal Air Force Venom NF.3 night fighter, whose crew reportedly attempted to intercept one of the unidentified targets.
The documentary reviews the chronology of the incident, testimony from radar operators and military personnel, official Project Blue Book findings, and the analysis of astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who later described the case as one of the most compelling military UFO investigations undertaken by the United States Air Force.
Using declassified government records, witness testimony, and historical research, the program explores why the Lakenheath–Bentwaters Incident continues to be regarded as one of the strongest radar-confirmed UAP cases ever documented.
