A decades-old UFO claim linked to a US military base in England has resurfaced and gone viral in the United States, after renewed attention on allegations that a coded message from the year 8100 was implanted directly into the mind of a US Air Force sergeant. The claim, which has never been independently verified, centres on a binary sequence allegedly received during the infamous Rendlesham Forest incident and continues to fuel debate among UFO researchers and sceptics alike.
The story has regained momentum following fresh tabloid coverage and widespread circulation on social media platforms. While the Rendlesham Forest sightings themselves remain unexplained, the specific claim of a 'downloaded' message is disputed and not supported by official investigations.
