Ultraviolet and The Replacement’s Joe Ahearne is working with Eleventh Hour films and Sony Pictures Television on a new series based on the Rendlesham Forest “UFO” incident.

Shortly after Christmas 1980, USAF officers stationed at an airbase in Suffolk believed they had seen a UFO after spotting strange lights and following them into the forest that surrounded the base. The incident was hushed up until Lieutenant Colonel Halt’s memo about it was published by the News of the World. (For more details, check out That’s What They Want You to Think.)

Ahearne’s series will be set in two times – 1980, when the incident happened, and 2020, its fortieth anniversary. “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,” the writer said. The series will be played against the backdrop of the Cold War.
