Clark:
Your message was received and noted. I think it is way too
premature to see any relation between the deaths in the UFO
community. At this point the official police position is that
there is no relation between Rogo's work and his death.
You may rest assured however, that as any information is
received, it will be passed onto the ParaNet System.

To all ParaNet Users;
The newest issue of UFO Magazine is now ready to hit the streets.
Volume 5 Number 5 takes a real hard look at "The Gulf Breeze
Saga". Included are interviews with Ed Walters, Ed Gray, and Art
Hufford. Also, an interview with Howard Blum, author of the new
UFO offering, "Out There", and a review of the same.
Part II of the "Whistleblowers" looking at Milton Cooper, an
update on Robert Lazar, and what went on at the 1990 MUFON
conference. All in all, a really great read.

Goverment Coverup of a Classic UFO Case?
By Philip J. Imbrogno
What ever UFOs are they do exist and the phenomenon is world wide! Over
the past thirty-five years most un-biased UFO research that has been made
available to the general public has been by civilan organizations and
individual investigators. A question often asked by members of the media to
UFO researchers is"After all these years what have you found out?" The
answer to this question is we found out plenty. We have proven by the great
number of case studies,video tapes, and Goverment documents that UFOs are
real! A recent Gallop pole showed that most Americans believe that UFOs
exist. It has also been shown, due to the great efforts of Citizens Against
UFO Secrecy(CAUS) that when it comes to UFOS, our Goverment knows more than
it's telling.This is apparent in the multitude of documents that CAUS was
able to obtain under the Freedom Of Information Act. Still, quite a few
documents were witheld because of reasons of National Security.
During September of 1987,just before the publication of my book NIGHT
SIEGE THE HUDSON VALLEY UFO SIGHTINGS,I received a certified letter from
the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA). The letter stated that I would be
contacted very shorty by an officer of the Airforce in regards to my
investigations into the UFO phenomenon in the Hudson Valley.The letter went
on to say that I would be contacted by a Lt. Col. Bennet whose official
title was the officer in charge to the Airforce's represenative branch to
the Federal Avaiation Administration.
About one week later I received a call from a Major Andrews of the
Airforce from Burlington Mass. He told me that the Airforce was well aware
of the sightings in the Hudson Valley and that they have been collecting
reports over the past ten years. He said that there was no official
investigation into the sightings,but still they do check out reports of
unkown aircraft reported by the FAA. I talked with Major Andrews for over
forty minutes and the main concern of the Airforce seemed to be that the
publication of NIGHT SIEGE might cause a UFO panic in the Hudson Valley and
nearby area.Major Andrews informed me that there were secret military
flights over the area,the purpose of these missions he did not know.He then
agreed to send me information that he had in his files about UFO reports in
the area. He then asked if I would keep him updated on the locations of new
sightings.His interest, he said was just personal. This seemed a little
strange to me,since when does the Airforce call a UFO investigator
regarding a UFO case.I believe that I was one of the first civilians in a
very long time that was contacted by the Airforce via telephone in the past
twenty years. This must mean that what ever the Hudson Valley UFO was,the
Airforce was very interested in it.
About five days later I received the packet of UFO material from Major
Andrews. In it were some documents from local bases and the FAA regarding
UFO sightings. There were also quite a few letters sent to the FAA and the
Airforce from residents in the New York, Connecticut and Massachussetts
area who have had UFO sightings. The oldest of these reports dated back to
1972. What was puzzling was the fact that some of the letters were
addressed to local newspapers,several of the national tabloids and a well
known author on the UFO phenomena,but how did they get into the hands of
the Airforce? I contacted this well known author who informed me that he
never got the letter.
There was one curious memo dated August of 1983 from the FAA at Kennedy
Airport asking where they should send a UFO report. The bottom of the memo
indicated that the report was sent to the Department of the Airforce in
Washington D.C.I called them and was told that reports of "UNKOWNS" are
channeled to other"concerned agencies" and that procedure is protected
under National Security. Then the woman who I was talking to after taking
my name and address politely hung up on me.
Was there a connection between our Goverment and the UFO sightings in the
New York area? If so what was the connection? Was there an experimental
craft belonging to the Airforce being tested in the area,or was the UFO
that has been now spotted over most of New England the product of an alien
intelligence? I was not sure,but it was quite clear there was some type of
Goverment involvement. This was to be more evident as the months went on.
There have been literly thousands of UFO sightings in the Northeast since
1982.The center of concentration of the sightings seems to be around the
Hudson Valley of New York. Here my research team and I centered our
investigation.We have been researching these sightings since 1982 and by
1987 we had hundreds of reports entered on our computer's floppy disks.We
found out that the majority of reports took place on a Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday night from 8-11 PM. The center of activity within the high
concentration of reports in the Hudson Valley was around the Kent New York
area. Interesting enough,highway I-84 was right in the middle of this area.
This information was made avaialble by use of the computer, without it,this
would have taken months to fiqure out.
For the past several years the UFO sightings seemed to have taken
somewhat of a pattern. On certain days of the month it would appear in an
area at a certain time,then disappear in another location. We thought we
did indeed spot some type of pattern and with the help of our computer
predicted the next sighting date to be on October 29 1987 at about 8:20 Pm
around the Kent-Brewster New York area. This information was obtained on
October 15th,plently of time to prepare and check our data.
We prepared four cars,all equiped with CB radios and decided to use
highway I-84 as the center of our operations. We also had one car with a
police scanner so that we can listen in to police in the area.In the past
local and State police were the first to get reports of the UFO.
We then started driving on Highway I-84 West bound at about 8:10 pm. Each
car was spaced about two miles apart. I was in the second car and at 8:20
PM I lost communication with our lead car. As I approached a rest stop just
before the Taconic Parkway turn off I saw our lead car pulled over to the
side of the road. The driver was Chris Clark and he was already out of the
car looking at a group of lights in the northern section of the sky. I
stopped the car and got on my radio to inform the others "That we had
something strange here" I then instructed the other cars to pull off to the
side of the road since the lights seemed as if they were going to head
east,in their direction.

I then got out of the car and saw a formation of about eight yellowish
white lights,very bright heading straight for our location. Chris said that
he had been observing them for five minutes and they did a kind of "dance"
in the sky before they took on the present shape.The lights appeared now
like a straight line,Much brighter than the landing lights of a plane. They
were about forty degrees above the horizon and moving very slow in our
direction.
As we watched the lights we heard no sound at all.It was then I realized
that this was the Hudson Valley UFO, the one I had been tracking for the
past five years. The lights continued to approach,then they moved
sideways,then began heading east. At no time did I see a physical structure
connecting the lights,but they moved so smoothly and in such perfect order
that I could not imagine them being separate objects. At this point I could
see the back of it and it appeared to be in a boomerang shape.,I then saw
about eighteen other lights of various colors, The purest reds, Greens and
ambers that I ever saw. The back seemed to be made up of red lights
only,while the middle had red lights,green and amber and blue. The front
was composed of these very bright yellowish-white lights.
I then called on the radio to Fred Dennis who was about two miles east of
my position on I-84. There was also another car between Fred and myself. I
Said"Fred, Its heading in your direction" At that time I lost the object
over a hill. Fred then got out of the car with his binoculars looking all
around for something. He said to himself" What are they seeing,there's
nothing here" He radioed back to inform us that he saw nothing in the sky.
Then his voice went silent. About forty seconds later Fred got back on the
radio and yelled," I SEE IT, IT's HUGE". It seems as Fred was scanning the
skies the UFO came out from behind a hill that was blocking the North west.
Fred then observed it with his binoculars. The object was so huge,he said
that it spilled out of the field of view. This would make it an enormous
object since the field of view with those binoculars is 500 feet at a
thousand yards.
The object was observed by every member of our team. One of our
researchers also had it in binoculars as it passed right over his car. He
reported a series of multicolored lights attached to some type of dark grey
structure. The object was so colorful against the clear night sky that it
looked like a Christmas Tree.
The UFO continued to head toward the east,to Danbury Connecticut. We were
still all heading West,so we had to get off the exit and get back on the
other side of I-84 and head east. We did this and started heading east. The
time was now 8:55 pm. We drove for about five minutes and then saw the
object again,this time it was going west! We stopped our cars and watched
it drift slowly ,just above the hills at an estimated distance of three
miles from the highway. We watched it for about five more minutes. We saw a
multitude of red lights which made up the back of the object. As we watched
it all the lights went out and the UFO simply vanished before our eyes.
We were all quite excited by what we saw. At the time of the sighting
there were also other cars pulling over to the shoulder of the highway also
observing the object. We could also hear the Truck drivers talking about it
over the CB radio.We learned later that the object was seen in the Danbury
Connecticut area nd hovered above a main road for several minutes. Most of
the people who saw it in Danbury indicate it was at least the size of a 747
and was no more than 1,000 feet in the air. One couple in Danbury
Connecticut reported that as it hovered above their car,the UFO began to
descend, this really upset them. As they watched it,the UFO then slowly
gained altitude then it moved away to the west.A for our team we did have a
video camera and still cameras,but were disappointed the way the pictures
came out.
It is not common for UFO investigators to see the UFO that they are
researching. With all the sightings in the Hudson Valley and the entire
northeast it was only a matter of time before we got a real good look at
the UFO,and we did! We had thought we had found a real pattern to the
appearance of the Hudson Valley UFO,but when we tried to predict later
sightings we saw nothing. Therefore we must assume that our sighting was a
coincidence and if there was a real pattern to the UFO we had not yet found
it.
In the days to follow we received dozens of letters and many phone calls
from people in the area who also saw it that same night.We got one report
that was to provide a lead to a possible coverup of the UFO sightings. This
report indicated that after the UFO disappeared about twenty minutes later
a formation of planes was seen tracing the exact same route that the UFO
took.
Coverup
---------
Make no mistake about it,there is a real unkown object in New York's
Hudson Valley. Since the publication of NIGHT SIEGE there has been a
regular appearance of a formation of planes over New York and Connecticut.
Members of our research team have spotted them on numerous occasions. These
planes were also observed in binoculars by several independent witnesses.
We had these people draw the outline of the shapes of the planes that they
saw. The drawings were all very similar,so we sent them to two pilots that
we know. One is a ex-military pilot,the other a ex-commercial pilot who
used to fly missions for the CIA.All of our aircraft experts and our two
pilots agree that the desgin was that of an O-2 type aircraft. The O-2 is a
medium duty aircraft with a single engine. It is made by Cessna Aircraft.
It is capable of long range and is used by the CIA for surveillance
missions. It has a very quiet "souped up" engine and the newer models have
on board flight computers in them for greater stability in the air.We have
reports that as many as eight planes were seen flying together in a tight
formation with the winds gusting up to twenty-five miles an hour!
They seem to be trying to fake a UFO and many people feel that it is an
attempt to discredit the sightings and to try to convince everyone that all
they saw was a bunch of planes. These planes have been seen only on a
Thursday night,the official night the Airforce flies night manuvers. They
have been seen all over Southern New York and most of Connecticut.

They fly for about two hours and then they land,but where? They have been
seen circling Stormville Airport in Stormville, New York giving the
impression that they are going to land there. They then break formation and
head West(One plane has been reported landing at Stormville then taking off
again). On more than one occasion they have been tracked to Stewart
International airport(an old airforce SAC base) in Newburgh New York.
Stewart is located West of the Hudson River not far from I-84. The base is
official operated by the Air National Guard and the Marine Corps. The
planes then land,one at a time over a period of one hour,but not on the
main part of the base. They seem to lad on a isolated section of Stewart
which is a very large airport.
Our resaerch team visted Steward airport and found an isolated fenced off
large airfield away from the main landing area marked "RESTRICTED" The
Restricted area had a well kept flight line and grounds. On the grounds
were several buildings which looked like hangers large enough to harbor
several planes of medium size. For the several hours that we were there we
saw no activity at all.
We filed a Freedom Of Information Act request(FOIA) with the CIA to find
out if the CIA was in fact using this area for some type of operation using
small aircraft.We received an answer several weeks later from the CIA. In a
lenthly double talking letter the CIA denied our request for information
about their activities at Stewart. The reason they gave was National
Security. This denial in our eyes is an admission that the planes do in
fact belong to the CIA. It is also apparent that the pilots who fly these
planes are expert military type pilots with years of experience in
formation flying.
What was going on in this restricted area? I was contacted by a member of
the local Newburgh New York media. This person told me that about six
months before our visit to Stewart he found the restricted area on the
base,became curious and started to walk toward the inside perimeter. Out of
no where a jeep came screaming to a halt and three military
police(Airforce) got out of the jeep and took him by force to a building
just inside the gate. He was placed in a room that was dimly lite with just
a table and chair. After about fifteen minutes two men entered the room
dresssed in dark suits and began to question him. They had a computer print
out in their hands and it had his name on it. He told me that they knew
everything about him.
After about one hour of questions,they then called his supervisor at his
Job to pick him up. They then placed him in a jeep and took him to the
public area of Stewart Airfield. This member of the media is a newsperson
in the Newburgh area and does not want his name used at all in regards to
the experience he had at the restricted area at Stewart. He is still
fearful that who ever they were that questioned him might be keeping an eye
on him. He told me that he felt they were with the CIA and they meant
business.
During our investigation concerning this restricted area at Stewart we
found out that the base now harbors several C-5A's the largest transport
jet that our Airforce has. We also found out from personnel at the base
that these C-5A's landed on the restricted airfield several years ago and
cargo was unloaded. We also found out through a document search that the
Ait National Guard is no longer officialy running the un-restricted area of
the base. It is now under the command of the Navy and the Marines are
running it and have been since 1973! This was strange since when we visted
Stewart we saw Airforce personnel there and even had a talk with a Master
Sergent.
We also found out that the Department of Agriculture was also using a
section of the restricted area. After a great deal of getting the run
around we found out that they are using the area for a holding place for
animals. We found out that a great deal of cattle and other animals were
flown in to this area. We are still waiting for documents from the USDA
explaining where the animals are coming from,why cattle and where are they
going from there. Of course when we found out that cattle were being flown
into this area the thought of cattle mutilations crossed our minds. What
was the strange conection with the mutilations and the UFOS. What was the
connection between the restricted area at Stewart, the CIA, the mystery
planes and the USDA and the cattle.
North Putnam County and parts of Westchester county are the site of many
old abandoned iron ore mines. Most of the mines have been closed down with
the openings sealed.Many of these openings are located in miles of thick
woods overgrown with brush, almost impossible to find. I received a phone
call from a well known UFO investigator who suggested that these old mines
might be the location of an alien base and that the CIA as well as other
agencies were operating out of Stewart to keep "an eye" on their
operations. I don't know about this theory,but can only relate the facts.
There are and have been thousands of UFO reports in the Hudson Valley and
Connecticut since 1982. Aircraft have been seen on a regular basis since
the publication of NIGHT SIEGE. These Air craft are without a doubt trying
to discredit the sightings. These aircraft have been tracked to Stewart
Airfield where they land in a restricted area. These aircraft are of the
O-2 type used by the CIA. The CIA will not provide any information about
their activities at Stewart because of reasons of National Security.
In September of 1988 I did a number of TV shows ,newspaper and radio
interviews I talked about the possibility that the CIA was trying to
coverup the UFO sightings by flying special aircraft with non-regulation
lighting. In the days to follow the mystery aircraft were no longer
reported in the skies over the Hudson Valley and have not been seen since.
Our investigation still continues.

This and the following two messages are written by Phil Imbrogno who has
given me permission to upload them into the ParaNet message base.
Incident At Indian Point
Part I
By. Philip J. Imbrogno
The Indian Point nuclear reactor complex lies on the shore of the Hudson
River in the town of Buchanan, New York in Westchester county. There are
two reactor plants on the site each separated only by a fence. One site
belongs to Consolidated Edison Electric company and the other is operated
by the New York Power Authority (NYPA). The two plants have always been
controversial and area residents have tried to shut down operations at both
plants for the past ten years. At present, the only reactor in operation is
site Number 3 of the NYPA. It is here that an incredible incident with an
object that was not of this world would take place.
Security at the Indian point complex is very good and they have been
trained to handle all types of incidents from meltdown to terrorists. The
security guards at the NYPA site are all ex-police officers with a great
deal of training. But all their training would not prepare them for what
would take place on July 24, 1984. It was on this date that they would have
a close encounter with Hudson valley UFO.
The first time I heard about the sighting over the reactor was on
September 2, 1984, about a month and a half after it happened. I was doing
a radio talk show called "The Edge of Reality" on WNBC in New York. After
the show I received dozens of calls, and one caller identified himself as a
guard at Indian Point. I had heard that there had been a sighting there but
could not get any information because of the tight security at the plant.
The caller told me that he had been on duty on that night of July 24, 1984
and at about 10:15 P.M a giant UFO hovered over reactor number three no
more than 300 feet above the exhaust tower for fifteen minutes.
This was exciting information because that same night, at 10:00 Bob
Pozzuoli of Brewster New York videotaped the Hudson Valley UFO, a videotape
that still remains unidentified to this day. Brewster is located about
twenty miles east of Indian Point and there is no doubt that it was the
same object because it was reported by hundreds of people in all the towns
between Brewster and Buchanan.
The caller went on to tell me that the event was so shocking that the
commander was ready to give orders to shoot the UFO down. He then told me
that the object was at least 900 feet from end to end and was also
witnessed by eleven other guards at the NYPA complex and about a dozen
security guards at the adjacent Consolidated Edison plant.
Since the callers job is at risk I can not give his name so I will refer
to him at Jeff. I had asked Jeff to meet with me to get the entire story.
He told me that he would have to first get clearance from his supervisor.
On September 5 I received a call from Jeff informing me that his supervisor
cleared me to come to the plant and interview the guards involved. I was
told that a camera and tape recorder would not be allowed on the complex
site for security reasons, I agreed to the terms. The interview was set for
September 7th in the afternoon. Everything looked fine and I was quite
excited about the information that I was going to obtain, then all hell
broke loose.
Twenty-four hours before the meeting Jeff called me and told me that the
meeting was off and I would not be allowed on the plant. Orders came from
state headquaters forbidding any of the guards to talk with me about the
UFO sighting. Little did I know that on the same day of the call the entire
complex underwent a security shakeup by the Nuclear Reglatory
Commission(NRC) and other government agencies who I found out later were
Military and belonging to some special military force that is responsible
for security of government istallations in the area.
I also found out that although the Indian Point complex is operated by
the NYPA and provides some of the power for the New York City Subway
system, it is also operated by federal government personnel and provides
power for a number of secret government bases and operations in the
Connectciut - New York area. One such place is an NSA satellite tracking
station located in Sandyhook Connecticut.
The cancelled interview with the guards was very disappointing. The
airspace above Indian Point is restricted and no aircraft of any kind is
allowed to fly over the reactors without the proper clearance. Something
huge had definitely invaded the reactor's security zone and although I knew
something about the incident, I had none of the details that Jeff and his
fellow guards could give me.
Many other people in the area also reported seeing the UFO over the
plant. Police in Pekskill New York which is the town just south of Indian
point said they received quite a few calls that evening. Sgt Hoffman of the
Peekskill Police Department went out to invesigate and saw a giant UFO with
over a dozen white lights in a V formation slowly move toward the Indian
Point power plant. Sgt Hoffman a trained observer admits that he never saw
anything like it before in his life. Although I had many other witnesses
who saw the UFO from outside the plant I still needed to find out what went
on inside the security area of the reactor during the sighting. The only
way that I was going to really find out is to talk to the people on duty
that night. Something extraordinary must have taken place for them to
quickly deny me to interview the guards, and what was the purpose of the
security shakeup?
I decided to try to put a little pressure on the supervisors at the
plant. In the past several months I developed a good working relationship
with NBC news in New York City. They gave the UFO sightings in the Hudson
Valley top priority and I knew they would be very interested to hear about
the close encounter at Indian Point. I informed the manager at Indian point
that I was going to go to the TV news stations with the story unless I was
allowed to speak to the officers.

After about an hour on the phone the manager finally agreed to let us
talk to the guards."We really would like to keep the entire incident quiet"
the manager said. " The reactor is highly controversial and we know that
the opponets against nuclear power in the area will use the sighting to
their advantage. They might claim that our security people are a risk
because they reported a flying saucer".
I wondered if this was the real reason. After all, the plants security
was violated and it seemed that they had no power at all to stop the
intruder that appeared over their airspace. Although we now had permission
to talk with the guards, there were stipulations. A security person would
have to be present or informed on the content of the questions. They would
permit one meeting only and it could not be anywhere on the reactor site. I
also agreed not to release any information about the sighting over the
reactor for at least thirty days after the interview.
The interview took place on September 12 in Peekskill, New York at a
local restaurant, at about 10:00pm. With me during the interview was UFO
researcher Fred Dennis, Fairfield Connecticut police Lt. George Lesnick and
Citizens Against UFO Secrecy(CAUS) attorney Peter Gersten. Six of the
guards showed up and because of the lateness of the hour, we were only able
to talk in depth with three at that time.
Jeff told me that he had been working at Indian Point security for about
two years and before that he was a New York State Tropper. As we talked I
asked about the July 24th sighting and Jeff said that that was the second
sighting date. "Second I asked." Jeff told me that the first sighting of
the UFO was on July 14 at about 10:15 at night. Jeff said that he was on
outside patrol at Indian Point Number Three when he saw a series of lights
approaching the plant from the distance. I asked Jeff what he meant by
"number three" Jeff said that there were three reactors at the NYPA plant
and that two were shut down and the only reactor in operation was number
three. Because of this security is always "beefed up" at that site.
Jeff continued to describe how the lights continued to approach. He
described the lights as being white with a yellow hue and about a quarter
of a mile away and moving very slow in his direction. Being close to the
Consolidated Edison plant he looked and saw ten of their security people
also looking at the lights. Jeff then got on his radio and called some of
the other guards from his area to come and look at the lights. Jeff knew
this was something strange and wanted someone to come and assist him if he
needed help since the object was still heading directly toward the plant.
Jeff told me that two other guards responded to his call. As the two other
guards joined Jeff the object stopped and hovered about about a quarter
mile from the outer perimeter of the plant. Jeff described the object as
ten lights arranged in a boomerang pattern. The object continued to hover
for ten minutes, they could not make out any shape behind the lights. Jeff
told me that the lights were very bright and from its apparent size in the
sky he estimated that it was at least 300 feet from each end light on the
boomerang pattern.
As they watched the object they noticed a dark mass behind the lights.
They thought this was very strange, since the lights were so bright they
should have made the body behind this object much more visible. The object
then started to move toward Peekskill at such a slow speed they estimated
it was no more than twenty miles an hour. Jeff and the other two guards(who
were also present at the meeting) had no doubt that what they were seeing
was not any aircraft or formation of aircraft, helicopters or anything else
they ever saw in their life.
Jeff said that at the time of the sighting the wind was gusting up to 35
miles an hour. If this was a blimp or formation of small aircraft it could
have never hovered for ten minutes. "This thing was unaffected by the wind
he said" He also heard no sound at all. During the sighting they tried to
identify the aircraft by checking local and military air traffic, but all
proved negative. Jeff also said that they saw no familar naigation lights
which aircraft are required to carry.
As they continued to watch the object move away they saw it turn to the
southeast. "As it turned" Jeff said, "It turned like it was lying on a
wheel, it rotated. It made a sharp ninety-degree turn and moved away very
slowly."
I then asked Jeff about the July 24th sighting. Jeff said he first heard
about the UFO being seen again by a call on his radio. Another security
guard was talking to the inside desk how those lights were coming close to
the plant. At that time five guards including two supervisors responded to
the call and saw the lights, Jeff was with them. Jeff told me" It
approached from the same direction as the June 14th sighting, but this time
the lights were changing color. First they would all turn yellow, then
white and then they all turned blue. There were about fifteen lights this
time all arranged in a semi-circle with a red one flashing in the back. It
was a nice clear night and as the object approached the plant it blocked
out the stars. The night sky in that area is heavily light poluted and you
could see a dark mass against the brighter night sky. The object came right
over the plant and there was no sound at all. I got to within 500 feet from
it. It looked like an icecream cone with the lights in a half circle in the
front and a red one in its tail. You could see the solid body it covered up
the entire sky and was the size of at least three football fields. At this
time it was directly over our heads, and we were looking up at it. It was
moving very slowly and I could keep up with it at a slow walk, so it must
have been going slower than ten miles an hour. No aircraft could stay
airborne moving at that slow speed."
Jeff said that he and the other guards watched it for about twenty
minutes and all the time they were in radio contact with security
headquarters inside the plant.

Jeff said that out of the three reactors only one was in operation and
the UFO picked that one to hover and then fly over. He also said that the
object was very low, no more than 300 feet above the exhaust tower, that
would place it about 700 feet above the ground. "Our supervisor got worried
when it flew over the working reactor", Jeff said. "This thing got to
within thirty feet of reactor number three"
As with the first sighting, the winds were gusting. A check with the
Westchester County Airport showed that the winds during the July 24th
sighting gusted at 40 miles an hour.
"We were standing there with our mouths open", Jeff said " We were in awe
of it!. If the thing stayed over us, the order was already given to get
ready to shoot it down. We had shotguns and were waiting for the final word
to fire upon it"
Another guard who we shall call Robert was on duty inside, watching the TV
monitors at the security console that allows him to point the surveillance
cameras at all parts of the plant. Robert told me that he pointed a camera
that was located on a ninety-five foot pole at the object. When the object
came on the screen he and the supervisor were shocked. Robert told me." I
saw eight bright lights in a V shape, very wide in the shape of almost a
half circle. The lights were very bright, at least as bright as the landing
lights on a large jet. My supervisor and I panned the camera up and down,
and the object was very large, bigger than a football field".
Robert said that the object was so huge that he had to pan the camera 180
degrees to see the entire UFO! He said that there was no doubt that it was
one solid structure and I had it on the camera for fifteen minutes. Still
shaken by the event Robert concluded by saying " I was trying to find some
logical explanation for this. Whatever it was, it was larger than a C-5A
which is the largest aircraft in the world and has a wingspan of 212 feet.
If this thing were placed alongside this aircraft the C-5A would look like
a toy. It seemed very brazen and just sat there in the sky for my camera,
it acted like it didn't care who saw it".
Another guard who I shall refer to as Mike told me" There was this series
of lights in a boomerang pattern, and behind the lights was this dark
structure, and there were these things on the bottom of the object that
looked like hollow spheres of some sort. They looked like portals that
could open up and rockets or something could fly out of there. These
portals were so large that you could fit a car in them easily. I got a good
look at it, it was very low. It was so close to us that I actually got
scared looking at it."
I then asked Jeff if the incident was reported, he told me that they did
file a report and were ready to take action, but then the object moved away
toward the Hudson and picked up speed and was gone. I was told at the time
that plant operations were in no way affected. The interview ended at this
time.
As we walked to our cars outside Jeff offered to take me over to the
plant and sneak me on to show me where he saw the object. I was ready to
go, but turned down the offer because of the sound advice of Fred Dennis.
Fred was worried that if I was caught charges could be brought against me
and Jeff could lose his job. Before we parted Jeff told me that he was very
interested in finding out what he saw and would "Keep on searching for
answers".
On the way home Fred and I talked about what we were told. We both agreed
that they seemed a little worried about relating the story and very
uneased. We were to learn later that a security supervisor was several
tables away listening to the entire conversation. Also there was no doubt
in our mind that the guards were debriefed about their sighting and were
told what they could tell us and could not tell us.
One week latter Jeff gave me a call and said that he would like to meet
with me again. There was a number of things which he was not a liberty to
talk about at the time. He said that much more happened during the July
24th sighting and he has to meet with me.
The second meeting with Jeff took place on October 4th at a place called
the By Pass Diner in Peekskill, New York. This time Jeff was in civilian
clothes. He insisted that he not be tape recorded and proceeded to fill in
the gaps of the Close Encounter over Reactor number Three at Indian Point.
Part II of Incident at Indian Point will be uploaded soon.Details of my
investigations in the Hudson Valley are documented in my book NIGHT SIEGE
THE HUDSON VALLEY UFO SIGHTINGS which I coauthored with Dr. J. Allen Hynek
and Bob Pratt.

Sorry boys and girls, but I don't have part II yet. I'll upload it ASAP when I
get it. - Paul

I am currently reading a book written by Whitley Strieber - "COMMUNION -
A TRUE STORY" . Its about his true life experiences with Visitors from
elsewhere. It really makes you wonder. Just in case anyone is
interested. Also I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about
the Bermuda Triangle. No one talks about it anymore.
