About

Research & Witness is a part-time, collaborative project led by Harrison Raw with support from his father Alan Raw. What began as a shared response to an extraordinary sighting near Rendlesham Forest has grown into an evolving exploration of unexplained phenomena, ranging from UFOs to cryptids, skywatches to folklore research.

We research mysterious events, investigate leads, and when possible, witness phenomena first-hand. We also share what we find intriguing on our regular blog. Including field notes, interviews and photographs. We also share what we find, through appearances on podcasts and at events. But soon Harrison’s first book will be published, documenting everything we have experienced so far.

In February 2020, we hosted The Research And Witness Convention, a three-day gathering that brought together leading voices in the field, including Ancient Aliens star Andrew Collins, and thousands of passionate attendees. Though plans for future conventions were paused due to the pandemic, we continue to collaborate with the inspiring people we met there.

You can hear the original interview of our Rendlesham sighting in the movie-length documentary Capel Green in UK cinemas from 20th July 2025.

We have also been regular guest researchers on Yvette Fielding’s excellent Paranormal Activity podcast. We recommend checking it out.

Whether you’re a sceptic, a believer, or just curious, you’re welcome here. We don’t claim to have the answers, but we believe it matters to keep asking the questions.
