Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about the 1985 Poughkeepsie
Black Boomerang UFO. That's correct, the 1985
Poughkeepsie Black Boomerang UFO.
Now that's a mouthful, but this story is really one that's
intriguing. I found the first article about
this on ufoinsight.com. Title says a black boomerang UFO
of Poughkeepsie. This article is dated that
December 15th, 2018. Looks like it had an update
maybe in October 25th 2021. The Poughkeepsie Boomerang UFO,
it says, is either the result of misguided ravings or, and
perhaps more likely, one of the most effective cover ups of a
UFO sighting on record. An incident alleged to have
happened over three decades ago in an area of New York in the
summer of 1985 had several witnesses and is still debated
today. So 85.
It's been almost 40 years now. What made the incident even more
intriguing was it happened right over the offices of the local
Poughkeepsie Journal newspaper offices.
Given that photographs had already been captured,
journalists couldn't believe their luck when the story of the
century literally landed in their lap.
They couldn't believe it even more when they were told under
no circumstances were they to write accounts or print pictures
of the incident. What that tells me cover up
right there. Perhaps even stranger, the black
boomerang UFOs appear to have been a particular feature of the
New York skies throughout the 1980s.
As we will examine, these boomerang sightings stretched
back to the late 1960s in the New York and New Jersey area.
And while not as often, they still occur in the area today as
they do throughout the United States and the rest of the
planet. Why though, was this particular
UFO witnessed so often over this region in the 80s?
It is an answer we are not likely to find out.
But the accounts from the time are extremely interesting and
one day, as researchers piece the UFO puzzle together, may
prove to be an important piece of the overall picture.
Now it starts off, it says, a strange sight that was not an
airplane. On the evening of the 25th of
August 1985, shortly after 9:35 PM, a journalist for the
Poughkeepsie Journal, Greg Boone, received an excited phone
call from one of their photographers, who has always
wished to remain anonymous. On the other end of the line,
she offered that one of those giant boomerang UFOs that people
had been reporting for years was heading in their direction.
It was currently heading along New York Route 9.
If he was to go to the windows or even to the roof of the
office, the photographer suggested he would likely see it
himself. She would explain in 2015 when
the case was re examined by Boone himself, that she had been
out at the Dutchess County Fair that summer.
Sunday in New York, around 20,000 people had attended, most
of which were now heading along the same Rd. as the boomerang
shaped UFO. The photographer had been on a
hill overlooking an affair, hoping to capture several more
shots of the hustle and bustle of the summer outing.
As she was doing this and speaking to someone nearby, she
suddenly noticed a strange sight, something that definitely
was not an airplane. The object was rounded and most
definitely a darker shade against the early evening sky
and furthermore it was huge. She and her friend continued to
watch for around 10 minutes when a sudden suddenly vanished in
the blink of an eye. She would recall in 2015 how it
just left. It wasn't there anymore.
According to later witness statements, people along the
highway would pull their cars over and leave their vehicles.
Everyone was eager to get a good look at this most strange object
moving across the Poughkeepsie skyline.
Just imagine you're in this long lane of traffic and look up and
see this giant boomerang just cruising down the highway above
you. In the meantime, Boone, along
with two other Poughkeepsie journalists, went rushing to
their third floor window of the newspaper's office.
Despite their prior warning of what to of what to expect to
see, all were still in awe at the black object around 5 miles
away and 100 feet from the ground, heading in their
direction. On the underside of the craft,
amber and red lights were glowing.
Boone would later recall how large the object was by
comparison to how slow it was moving.
It certainly shouldn't have been flying at such a low altitude
over what was essentially a residential area.
When the object was to within a few miles, the lights suddenly
shut off. It then would head directly
toward the newspaper office building.
It must have suddenly increased its speed as the thing got huge
very fast. In fact, it would fly over the
top of their building. From there, they would rush to
the other side of the office to see if it was visible from the
other side. When they couldn't see it, they
then made the decision to head to the bathrooms, which would
allow a clearview of the top of the building.
It moved once again, forcing them to rush once more to the
other side of the bathroom. Once more they could see the UFO
before it once more changed direction and disappeared
completely out of sight. All the while the huge object,
at least 200 feet wide, made no noise whatsoever.
Rushing back, Boone and several other journalists marvelled at
the photographs captured by their colleague and the many
thousands of witnesses they could speak to.
They would have the story of the century, surely, especially
given their access to such news outlets as AP and Reuters.
Then came the order. The story was not to run, and
according to Boone, the order came from on high.
As if to reiterate that order, the following day several
menacing chaps arrived at Poughkeepsie Journal offices.
Although no threats were issued, it was made clear that talk of
UFOs was to be steered clear of. Bemused and more than a little
angry with the decision, Boone wouldn't write an account of the
incident. He would, however, continue to
investigate it privately. Nor would the incident be the
last time such a craft was witnessed over Poughkeepsie
Journal building. According to Boone.
Around a year later, in the summer of 1986, a huge saucer
shaped craft approached their building and like before, it
hovered silently for several minutes.
Boone would rush out of the building to his van to retrieve
his telescope. As he did, he looked directly
upwards and witnessed the boomerang object hovering
overhead with the first craft. He looked around.
There were three other people in the parking area.
All of them saw the object above.
Then both of the objects disappeared.
Boone would recall they must have been travelling over 500
miles an hour. According to Boone, the
boomerang object chased the circular object away and did so
in full view of the onlookers. And it almost sounds like some
kind of a dogfight going on. It is an interesting account, no
doubt. What should we make of the one
UFO chasing another away? Does that suggest a prevention
of some kind of attack that says, was there an unseen craft
present previously? Yeah, very neat.
And then it goes on and talks about some of the other things
here. It says boomerang shaped crafts
over New York and New Jersey since the late 60s has another
account here. Perhaps what is more intriguing
is that, according to Boone, these sightings of the black
boomerang date back to the start of a decade in 1980.
Boone would also claim to have witnessed the strange and
distinctly boomerang shaped object six times in total.
In fact, there are several reports, one as far back as the
late 1960s, of strange boomerang shaped craft, several of which
in the New Jersey and New York areas of the United States.
It says. For example, shortly after
midnight on the 13th of August 1969 in Port Chester, NY came a
report of two solid boomerang shapes crossing the sky in
formation. The sighting came from the
resident of a 6th floor apartment in the area.
They were out on the terrace of the building watching for
potential meteors during their pristiated meteor shower.
Suddenly a bright light appeared on the horizon.
As his eyes focused, he could see two boomerang shaped things,
one slightly ahead of the other but in tight formation.
The objects passed overhead of the apartment, allowing the
witness to see their luminous silvery greenish blue collar.
They would then vanish from sight, not at any point making a
sound. The whole incident lasted no
longer than two seconds. At around 10:00 PM on the 15th
July 1975 over New Jersey, a boyfriend and girlfriend
witnessed several boomerang shaped disk hovering overhead. 1
was distinctly larger than the rest and what appeared to have
some kind of control over the smaller craft.
The couple, along with the girl's parents, view the
encounter for almost 2 hours before the objects disappeared.
A sighting of a boomerang shaped craft in Rochester, New Jersey
in January of 1980 even has all the hallmarks of an alien
abduction following an implant recovered from the witness.
Wow, implant. Now that might not be proof, but
that is some pretty strong evidence.
Then it says there does appear to be a more significant
increase in boomerang shaped UFOs in and around New Jersey in
the 1980s. And while reports of these
specifically shaped craft decrease, some sightings still
occurred at around 7:00 PM on the 28th of August 1988 and West
Slip, New York. For example, a husband and wife,
as well as her two children would report a large black
boomerang low to the ground near to their house.
The object would hover for around 2 minutes across the
street from their home. They would watch events unfold
from their back porch. The husband who would make the
report would state that the object had fairly sharp angled
surfaces. Furthermore, this exterior of
the craft had the look of a rough surface similar to Velcro.
He would also report that one of the wings of the boomerang
appeared flexible as it rose and vanished out of sight.
Another sighting occurred on the evening of the 12th July 2005 in
Parsippany, NJ. Around 11 PMA boomerang shaped
object with two lights in front and a red light in the back was
witnessed hovering overhead. The witness would claim the red
light seemed suspended from the craft and was around 2000 feet
above the ground. It then accelerated and moved
away at speed. Around 2 years later, just after
11:00 PM on the 28th of August 2007 in the town of Glassboro,
NJ, 2 witnesses would report seeing 2 bright lights coming
from over a house as they walked through the residential area.
These lights appeared out of complete darkness and had the
appearance of boomerangs. The objects, extremely low to
the ground, made a strange deep humming noise as it passed over
the pear. They eventually disappeared out
of sight behind the nearby trees.
Wow here. Another report says one of the
more recent sightings of these strange boomerang craft occurred
just before midnight on the 19th of June 2011.
A parent and their 18 year old daughter were leaving a movie
theater in Parsippany and walking to their car.
The teenager suddenly shouted to look up as she was doing so.
To the skies to the east of the pair was a very strange huge
group of orange, yellow and red lights glowing brightly.
Together. They formed an enormous
boomerang shape with the wing tips facing downwards.
Although the witnesses couldn't see any specific detail of the
craft, it was perfectly obvious that there was a solid structure
behind the lights. They would later estimate the
craft to be the size of a baseball field and was between
501,000 feet from the ground. It would hover in complete
silence for around a minute. As they watched, an orb appeared
on the right wing. At first, it simply remained
motionless, but after a short time it would travel along and
around the shape of the object, eventually finding its way back
to the point where it appeared. It's almost like it's a plasma
ball just racing along the edge of this craft or something and
says Then the craft began to disappear.
However, the witness would point out that it didn't appear to
travel away in the sky. Rather, it seemed to erase
itself. The lights would turn off or
disappear one by one in some kind of order.
The final light was the one at the center of the craft,
although the outline of the craft was still barely visible.
When this final center light went out, though, the entire
craft vanished and there was nothing left in the sky.
And this article here does include a video what looks to me
like an orb at Poughkeepsie. Very, very cool stuff.
Yeah, I think that's a pretty good article.
Take a look at this next one here.
Really, these strange boomerang shaped UFOs.
Now, this is from UFO Digest. They have a lot of good stuff
over there. That was written by Robert D
Morningstar, published June 19th, 2015.

Boone. I will definitely post these

This says this story should serve to provide our readers
with proof positive with the first hand account and a second
corroborating witness for the huge UFO cover up regularly
conducted during the 1980s by so-called mass media news
sources as a matter of course. But in this case specifically as
practiced by the news media in New York State and the
Northeastern region of the country as a general editorial
policy. This is really quote how it goes
when skeptical news media is confronted with UFO reality even
in their own editorial offices with their own officials as
their principal and primary witnesses.
You have to ask yourself, why are they shutting the story down
on August 25th, 1985, it says. I, along with ten other newsmen,
were on duty at the Poughkeepsie Journal, New Yorks oldest
newspaper and one of the flagships of the Gannett News
Service. It was a warm night around 9:35
PM on a summer Sunday when one of our photographers radioed in
that one of those giant boomerang UFOs that people had
been reporting for years was heading South on New York Route
9. Mind you, on this day it was
during the Duchess County Fair, one of the oldest and biggest
county fairs in the US Roughly 20,000 people leaving the fairs
festivities for home with most of them traveling that way.
Highway New York Route 9 heading South from Rhinebeck, NY about
18 miles north of Poughkeepsie which is about 75 miles north of
New York City. This photographer was
interviewed nearly 30 years later on June 16th, 2015 by this
Co Investigator Editor. The photographer, who wishes to
remain anonymous, recounted that when she saw the UFO, she
reported the sighting immediately to the newspaper
office, IE the Poughkeepsie Journal where she worked.
The photographer related that she had been on a hill
overlooking the surrounding area, that while she was on the
hill talking to someone, she noticed a strange sight,
something that definitely was not an airplane or anything like
it. She recalled vividly that she
was looking to the east and recalled that there had been
rumors from about ultralight flights coming out of Stormville
and being confused for a large circular UFO.
Seems kind of hard for me to imagine how you would confuse an
ultralight with a large circular UFO.
Anyway, the object was round in shape and they took it very
seriously. They stood watching the place,
both the observers and the object, for about 5 to 10
minutes when suddenly it just disappeared.
The witness affirmed that she had very good vision of
photographer's eyes and that she had no clue as to how the object
left. Still mystified about it even
now, three decades later, this witness states it just left.
It wasn't there anymore. I didn't see it fly away to the
horizon or anything like that. I don't know how, but it just
wasn't there. Our photographer stated that the
craft was huge and headed South and it might be visible from our
office windows, which are on the 3rd floor.
I and two other editors dashed to the northern window of the
managing editor's office, and sure enough, at a distance of
approximately 5 miles, we saw a dark shape about 100 feet above
the ground, with amber and red lights slowly growing bigger as
they headed our way. It was really big, slow moving,
and in no way was such a thing supposed to be flying over
residential areas. Folks up there have shotguns and
use them at the drop of a hat. Poughkeepsie is a very old
Republican territory, folks. They're still beefed about Pearl
Harbor like it was yesterday on the highway.
Thousands and thousands of people were so alarmed they
bolted from their cars to gander at this craft.
So this is a mass UFO sighting. Of the 10 editors reporters
there, I believe only three were not ex military.
I stood there and watched as the craft suddenly got within a
couple miles and shut off its lights after four while it
pivoted to port, traveled EA bit, then startingly made a hard
starboard turn and headed straight for us as it came
toward us. This thing got huge very fast,
and believe it or not, the UFO flew right over all of us, right
over the top of the building, about 40 feet above where we
stood gazing in amazement. The craft had to be at least 200
feet wide and it was jet black. The illumination of the
streetlights was not reflecting anything off its surface in any
way that we could determine, as if it was absorbing the ambient
light. So wanting to get a better
glimpse of it, we dashed to the other windows to see if it had
passed overhead. The UFO couldn't be seen, and we
realized it might be hovering over us.
Sure enough, that's exactly what it did.
It stopped to hover over our office building, so we dashed to
one of the bathrooms that faced east.
And that's when the craft turned E again and glided over the more
heavily populated section of the city noiselessly.
And then the UFO was gone. Mind you, thousands saw this
UFO, as they say, as clear as a bell.
Veteran military and veteran news and veteran law enforcement
had seen it as well. I immediately thought of Stan
Friedman as he had lectured of UFOs at Dutchess Community
College several years earlier, and we ran a kind of story about
it. Yes, Stan.
I was leaning over the city desk making sure I got it kindly
since we had access to AP. Gannett News, Reuters, etcetera,
as well as USA TODAY, which we mainly put out.
We were sure that this UFO event would be reported big time.
Well, we were sitting there screaming at the photos and
reporters asserting that this will be the story of the century
and already planning reports and photos, when suddenly, no,
emphatically no exclamation point.
The word came down from on high that not one word was to be
mentioned. A huge, solid, unidentified
object had hovered, maneuvered, and had been seen by thousands
of eyewitnesses. Pictures were taken and no
mention, not a word of it was reported anywhere.
Next day some menacing chaps showed up in our editorial
office. I got in big trouble for staring
back just as menacingly that night at the local watering hole
where I would sit and do sketches after work.
Another big menacing fellow waltzes in with a stack of
papers and picks 8 inches high. Suddenly he slammed them down in
the bar and bellowed out a challenge that sounded like a
threat. So somebody in here wanted to
talk about UFOs. Question mark.
He made a big mistake. My high school and college chums
were at the bar that night and we are just as big and menacing.
He was ceremoniously ushered out of the bar by about 3000 lbs of
angry citizens. This was the first time that
craft flew over our newspapers, but it wasn't to be the last.
About a year later a huge saucer shaped craft did the same thing.
We all bolted outside, this time onto the roof of the building,
and we saw a circle of lights about 1/2 mile wide hovering
over a local monument that rests on a hill that couples go to
pitch woo. It was there for about 10
minutes and the cops and many people saw it.
Wow, this guy. Thanks for writing this all
down, but I don't know if this fellas even still around.
You know, this happened about 40 years ago, but they talk about
being told not to right about it.
They couldn't show the pictures. This guy just kind of goes along
with it, man. He kind of puts himself in a
good light here of why I really stared him down.
Yeah, the guy came in the bar and he tried to be a tough guy.
But but we we are shooting out of there.
This is typical news media when they act in a very frightened, I
almost cowardly way and then try to convince us that they were
the tough guys. This is why I really don't care
for much of the main mainstream media.
This is the kind of mindset they see a UFO, they see it over over
their newspaper office. 10 of them, man, we've got the story
of a century. We've got pictures, we've got
eyewitnesses. We're really going to put this
thing together. This is going to be awesome.
And then they get a phone call. No, you're not doing anything.
Do they say I'm going to quit my job on principle and tell the
story and tell the truth? Hey, by the way, America, you've
been invaded by an alien alien species perhaps, or some sort of
in dimensional beings flying these flying saucers and giant
boomerangs over over our newspaper office.
No, they lay down, they roll over.
They do exactly what they're told.
Oh, this fellow tells us. Well, I got into a lot of
trouble because I really stared back at him.
Yeah, you gave him a dirty look. And then just to make sure the
points made, these deep state scum, men in black, whatever you
want to call them, they go waltz.
One of them goes waltzing into this bar and makes a big scene.
Anybody here want to talk about UFOs?
Well, not to you, jerk, but what's this guy do?
Well, we, we ushered him out of there. 3000 lbs of, you know,
local, local tough guys. Yeah, but did you tell the rest
of us about it? Did you warn us?
Did you give us any kind of hint what was happening?
No, because you didn't want to lose your job.
They don't. They don't want to be without
money for a mortgage payment or a car payment.
Their own personal comfort. It's far more important to them
than Uri. Safety goes on down and says.
Then came the most remarkable part.
As I dashed downstairs to get my trusty telescope from my van to
get a closer look, I suddenly looked straight up and another
large boomerang object was directly overhead.
Three people were in the parking lot at the time with me and we
stared at it. Then it kicked in orange
afterburners. I recall 6 laterally on its aft
section took off like a rocket due West at high speed and then
did a hard bank to port. That surprised us and must have
taken off over the southwest at over 500 mile per hour easy.
We could hear all caps them as the afterburners kicked in quote
UN quote overhead. Obviously this object was not
the source of the circular lights, but we suspect the
boomerang shape thing object chased away the circular object.
Well, maybe this is some sort of high tech craft of our own
that's making an appearance, I don't know.
That's two UFOs and one sighting at night close up and again with
multiple witnesses. That's two UFO sightings and
1:00 at night way back in 1980. A friend got pics of it.
That was the first time I heard of it.
And we developed the film with the newspaper ourselves.
It was nothing really unusual, but we could definitely see the
boomerang shape and we figured just another test aircraft at
that region which is famous for testing secret aircraft.
I've seen these types of UFO craft about 6 times and way back
in 1980 a friend got pics of it. For example, the very first time
I'd heard it, we developed the film with the newspaper
ourselves. These photos showed nothing too
unusual it says. But the boomerang shape was
definitely visible. But as we figured then we just
thought just another test aircraft.
Well, and then he goes on to say mum was the word.
I have mixed feelings. I'm glad the guy wrote this
article all these years later. This Greg Boone talking about
their experience on multiple occasions of having seen these
UFOs. Apparently back in the early 80s
and then again in 85. Neither time were they allowed
to talk about them or post photographs or anything.
Both times they just laid down and took it.
Meanwhile, he kind of presents himself as a tough guy.
He started back menacingly at this deep state MIB or whatever
that was there to try to belittle and bully these people.
And they're not saying anything. Now, granted, it was 1985, pre
Internet, pre a lot of things. But this is, I think, a typical
reaction of mainline media doing what they're told to do, saying
what they're told to say. We've all seen the video
colleges where a local news story will lead out, blah blah
blah, and then every other local news forecast in the country
pretty much repeats it pairs the same talking points.
We've all seen those to just show you how not independent
your local news is. They can't even write copy for
themselves. And I see the same thing here in
this local newspaper back in 198085 there in New York, as
they suppress what literally could have been the story of the
century. And you have to ask yourself,
how do these news people sleep at night?
How do they justify this? Because they were threatened and
they missed of being threatened in the midst of kowtowing and
bowing down to these deep state thugs still trying to present
themselves as the tough guys. We ushered him out of the bar.
Boy, we really showed him, yes, they were certainly the tough
guys. They ushered the MIB out of the
bar, it sounds like. But they didn't publish the
story and they didn't publish the pics, and they still aren't
showing you the pictures because they're doing what they're told
to do. And that's what deep state media
does. That's what your that's what all
your media does. Pretty much for the first time
in the history of mankind, we have a way to spread this
message across multiple platforms with the Internet.
And it's been a lot of fun for the last couple years.
But you can start to see now how they've started to tamp and
things down to effectively corral and rope in your search
results to prevent communication between each other.
I see my own program here just getting slammed day after day
after day. Shadow band, no doubt in my mind
about it. Sometimes you can't even find on
the search engine. Sometimes it'll pop right up.
It's just constant struggle for the truth.
Until next time. This is UFO warning over and
out.
