December 26th, 1980, the Rendlesham Forest Incident, also known as “Britain’s Roswell.”

Lt. Col. Charles Halt stated, around 3:00am on the 26th of
December, strange lights were reported by a security patrol near the
East Gate of RAF Woodbridge apparently descending into nearby Rendlesham
Forest. Servicemen initially thought it was a downed aircraft, but after
entering the forest to investigate they saw, according to Halt’s memo, a
strange glowing object with a metallic appearance and colored lights. As
they approached, the UFO moved through the trees, and “the animals on a
nearby farm went into a frenzy.” The craft left three impressions or
depressions on the ground that were visible the next day. One of the
servicemen, Sgt. Jim Penniston, later claimed to have encountered a
“craft of unknown origin” and to have made detailed notes of its
features, touchedits “warm” surface, and copied the numerous symbols on
its body. The object allegedly flew away after their brief encounter.
Penniston also claimed to have seen triangular landing gear on the
object. [ref. Files Mufon.com]

Frazee, sounding like a modern-day Jerry Jones explained the sell of the greatest hitter in baseball by saying, "While Ruth is undoubtedly the greatest hitter the game has ever seen, he is likewise one of the most selfish and inconsiderate men
