Rendlesham Forest
THE MOST FAMOUS UAP CASE IN BRITAIN, AND THIS PROJECT HOLDS NOTHING ABOUT IT. A full-text sweep of all 208 documents in this corpus on 3 September 2026 - 6,738 pages, including 2,166 that had to be rendered and read by OCR first - found Rendlesham exactly once, in the CIA's FOIA case log for calendar years 2001-2003: "F-2002-02039 RENDLESHAM FILE OR UNEXPLAINED LIGHTS Cancelled". Somebody asked the Central Intelligence Agency for the Rendlesham file. The request was cancelled. That line, read by eye at 170 dpi, is the whole of what is held. The node exists so that the absence is visible and countable rather than looking like an oversight; it carries no date, and it will not appear on the timeline until a document supplies one.

Notes on this record
NO DATE, DELIBERATELY. This project holds no account of the incident and therefore no date for it; 1980 would come from general knowledge rather than from a page. It does not draw on the timeline until a document puts it there.
On this map only as a request for the file, and the request was cancelled.
