British UFO: Top Gun Pilot Speaks Out After 45YRS | Dan ‘Tanna’ Isbell | UAP Files Podcast S3E55
Season 3 Episode 55
On December 26th, 1980—a night permanently stamped into the mythology of modern UFO history—the Rendlesham Forest Incident unfolded, now known worldwide as the “British Roswell.” Just miles from that forest, on that same charged night, a United States Air Force pilot stationed in the UK encountered something extraordinary. What he saw hovered in complete silence, impossibly close to him, before accelerating away in a manner that defied every known law of flight and propulsion. The object’s movement was not just advanced—it was non-human in capability and intent.Our guest tonight is Colonel Dan “TANNA” Isbell (ret.), a pilot whose career needs no embellishment. He is a Top Gun fighter pilot who has flown more than seventy different aircraft types, a former Experimental Test Pilot Instructor at the USAF Test Pilot School, and a commander and division chief trusted with some of the most advanced aircraft programs ever fielded by the United States. Isbell later became an F-22 Air Vehicle Program Manager and then Directed Energy Weapons Chief at the Air Force Research Lab, working at the frontier of aerospace, lasers, and systems most of the world will never know exist. He has spent decades advising and operating at Pentagon level and continues to hold high-clearance (top secret) status as a subject matter expert in advanced weapons and flight systems.For forty-five years, Isbell has remained silent about what happened that night near Rendlesham. Only recently has he chosen to come forward—not just about that single encounter, but about three additional UFO experiences spanning multiple craft types: from a silent, structured triangle to an orb performing maneuvers with no aerodynamic logic or known propulsion source. In this conversation, he goes into exacting detail, not only about what he saw, but how it moved, what it looked like, and why the experience has remained with him for nearly half a century. He also shares the forensic artist reconstruction completed by an FBI-trained illustrator, offering the clearest visual representation you could ask for.This is not speculation, rumor, or secondhand mythology. This is testimony from one of the most qualified pilots and aerospace authorities alive today—an individual trained to measure flight performance down to the micron and the millisecond. Tonight, Dan Isbell lays it all out on the craft he encountered near Rendlesham and the others that followed, offering insight into why he has remained quiet for so long, and why now, after decades of secrecy, he believes it’s time to speak publicly.Want to support the channel?
