FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SUMMARY: “The Rendlesham UFO: The British Roswell” to Premiere at Raindance Film Festival, London – June 24th
LONDON, UK. June 19th 2025 – A compelling new documentary exploring one of the UK’s most mysterious and enduring UFO incidents is gaining attention for more than just its chilling content.
The Rendlesham UFO: The British Roswell is set to premiere June 24th 2025 at the Raindance Film Festival in London, offering a fresh investigation into the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident, often described as “Britain’s Roswell” as it is the most credible UFO encounter in British history.
What truly sets this documentary apart is not only its in-depth research but also the alarming number of reports from early viewers who claim to experience unexplained phenomena during or after viewing the film.
These accounts range from sightings of glowing orbs and electronic disturbances to eerie feelings of being watched—and in some cases, alleged UFO sightings near the viewer’s location shortly after watching.
The film is directed by Mark Christopher Lee and Guy Thompson, and features narration by William B. Davis, famously known for playing the “Smoking Man” in The X-Files. The filmmakers conducted a comprehensive investigation, interviewing military witnesses, UFO researchers, and consciousness experts to uncover new dimensions of the case.
The team also documents their attempt to conduct a CE5 (Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind) session, a controversial technique in which participants attempt to initiate contact with non-human intelligence through meditation and mental focus.
Their efforts appear to capture unusual aerial phenomena on camera, adding an unexpected layer of mystery to the film.
Director Mark Christopher Lee commented on the reaction so far: “We started getting reports from viewers—strange lights, power surges, orbs, and even sightings of unidentified craft—within 24 hours of watching. It’s eerie, but deeply intriguing. We never anticipated the film itself might become part of the phenomenon.”
The premiere screening will include a live Q&A session with both directors, encouraging audience members to share personal reactions, observations, or any unusual effects they may have experienced. Attendees are urged to bring smartphones or cameras and an open mind.
