For many longtime UFO enthusiasts out there, the term “Britain’s Roswell” will instantly conjure up memories of a slew of unexplained incidents in Suffolk. And now, said happenings are to be brought to life in a new TV series.

As per Variety, Eleventh Hour Films and Sony are developing a show dubbed Rendlesham. The incidents themselves initially began back in December 1980 around the RAF Woodbridge site in Suffolk, England. After strange lights were seen descending into Rendlesham Forest, further investigation found a metallic object shining in the middle of the bushy landscape. When approached, said object darted off through the forest in a flurry of lights, and the next day saw a triangular shape left in the forest clearing.

Rendlesham will span the time period from that 1980’sighting right through to the present day and beyond, and Doctor Who’s Joe Ahearne will be directing the series. Eve Gutierrez and Jill Green are on board to produce for Eleventh Hour Films.

On this news, Ahearne enthused, “When Eleventh Hour Films drew my attention to this extraordinary piece of British and American history it pressed all my buttons, and I think it will do the same for a wide audience.”

Gutierrez added, “Joe is a master storyteller with a long-standing fascination for science fiction. Now working with Sony Pictures Television, we are looking forward to bringing this timely, other-worldly story to the global market.”

Expect more on Rendlesham as it continues to develop.
