Another veteran US serviceman has broken his silence about witnessing Britain's most famous UFO encounter nearly 40 years ago.

Ex-sgt Michael Smith has revealed officially for the first time that he also saw the strange activity in 1980 in the Suffolk countryside.

Back in 2016 Steve Longero, who was a young US Air Force police officer working at bases RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, came forward about witnessing strange lights while on duty.  

Now Smith, then a 19-year-old member of the 81st Airborne Police Squadron at RAF Bentwaters, said: "A month before the base was put on alert and I was called out and I got onto as bunker by one of the gates.

“I was having a pee outside when I saw an orange glowing light in the woods — it was a reddish ball.

"It stopped right in front of me — it just stayed there and hovered two feet off the ground and I called for reinforcements I was scared to death."
