Woodbridge (England)

Woodbridge is a town in Suffolk.

Understand
Sutton Hoo (Replica) Mask

About 8 miles from the coats, on the River Deben. The town is probably best known for the Sutton Hoo 6th and 7th century burial sites, something many will be visiting the area to see, though archaeological finds show habitation back to 2500-1700 B.C. Although the area was under Roman occupation for 300 years, there is little in the way of Roman remains.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident

In Dec 1980, strange lights were reportedly seen over Rendlesham Forest which were linked with claims of UFO landings. Nearby RAF Woodbridge (used by the USAF at the time) deputy base commander and other base personnel also claim to have seen what they described as UFO landing! The reports gained traction and the alleged sightings have been rated as of similar importance to the Roswell Incident (the 1980 "sightings" have become known as 'Britain's Roswell'). The sightings have been attributed to a fireball, Orford Ness Lighthouse and bright stars. Visitors have not been warned to take any special precautions with regard to risks of alien abductions.

gollark: I'm not sure if that's *better*.
gollark: Something like that. It still *works*.
gollark: You can have that. There is an annoyingly long wait for requests for access to be approved but I know some people with API access.
gollark: Good luck running a 175-billion-parameter model anyway.
gollark: The biggest GPT-3 model has 175 billion parameters. The GPT-J one is 6 billion. So still a big difference but not quite that much.
