Weekly pics--round 16
Another Orfordness-type theme this week. For those of you who don't know, this is a long spit of land not far from where I live. It's peppered with the rusting remains of old military bases, secret research installations, and even a World War 1 airfield. This is the primary setting for my current novel, Project Cold Witness.
Firstly, a wide-angle shot of the Orfordness lighthouse with the sun breaking over the clouds just over it. This was taken not long after dawn. The Orfordness lighthouse is most famed for being the standard explanation of the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident (but, seeing as the suspected landing site is nearly 15 miles away, I have my doubts).
Secondly, a long shot of the Cold Witness facility itself. The masts are hard to make out on this low-resolution picture, but the mudflats and the sinister blockhouse are plain to see.
Thirdly, a freebie pic! This isn't Orfordness, but the picture has been kicking around for a while and it's all relevant subject matter. I give you the most probable landing site for the Rendlesham UFO (unexplained lights seen near Woodbridge AFB, 27-28th December, 1980). There are three or four possible candidates all in a small area, but this one has the right atmosphere. And I've visited it at night, too, and that was creepy. Again, for those who don't know, the Rendlesham Incident features in the climax of Project Cold Witness. Did it really happen? Who knows. But it makes for fun research.
