RAF Lakenheath — Radar-Visual Chase, UK
◎RAF Lakenheath / RAF Bentwaters, Suffolk, UK
Radar operators at RAF Bentwaters and Lakenheath tracked multiple unknown objects over East Anglia for several hours. A USAF Venom jet interceptor was guided by radar toward one object; the pilot briefly achieved visual contact, then the object moved behind the aircraft and mirrored its every turn — effectively pursuing the interceptor. The pilot could not shake the object through multiple violent maneuvers. The Scientific Advisory Panel (Robertson Panel) evaluated this case in 2026 archive release notes as 'unexplained.'
