1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,360 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,600 In this episode we're talking about the 1985 Poughkeepsie 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,000 Black Boomerang UFO. That's correct, the 1985 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,240 Poughkeepsie Black Boomerang UFO. 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,600 Now that's a mouthful, but this story is really one that's 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,640 intriguing. I found the first article about 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,200 this on ufoinsight.com. Title says a black boomerang UFO 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000 of Poughkeepsie. This article is dated that 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,760 December 15th, 2018. Looks like it had an update 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,880 maybe in October 25th 2021. The Poughkeepsie Boomerang UFO, 11 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,680 it says, is either the result of misguided ravings or, and 12 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,360 perhaps more likely, one of the most effective cover ups of a 13 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,720 UFO sighting on record. An incident alleged to have 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,360 happened over three decades ago in an area of New York in the 15 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,280 summer of 1985 had several witnesses and is still debated 16 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,880 today. So 85. 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,319 It's been almost 40 years now. What made the incident even more 18 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,360 intriguing was it happened right over the offices of the local 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,760 Poughkeepsie Journal newspaper offices. 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,480 Given that photographs had already been captured, 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,760 journalists couldn't believe their luck when the story of the 22 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,200 century literally landed in their lap. 23 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,320 They couldn't believe it even more when they were told under 24 00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:30,040 no circumstances were they to write accounts or print pictures 25 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,240 of the incident. What that tells me cover up 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,360 right there. Perhaps even stranger, the black 27 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,320 boomerang UFOs appear to have been a particular feature of the 28 00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:45,000 New York skies throughout the 1980s. 29 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,000 As we will examine, these boomerang sightings stretched 30 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,680 back to the late 1960s in the New York and New Jersey area. 31 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,000 And while not as often, they still occur in the area today as 32 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,680 they do throughout the United States and the rest of the 33 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200 planet. Why though, was this particular 34 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,400 UFO witnessed so often over this region in the 80s? 35 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,600 It is an answer we are not likely to find out. 36 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,560 But the accounts from the time are extremely interesting and 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,520 one day, as researchers piece the UFO puzzle together, may 38 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,520 prove to be an important piece of the overall picture. 39 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,040 Now it starts off, it says, a strange sight that was not an 40 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,000 airplane. On the evening of the 25th of 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,840 August 1985, shortly after 9:35 PM, a journalist for the 42 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,840 Poughkeepsie Journal, Greg Boone, received an excited phone 43 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,560 call from one of their photographers, who has always 44 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,920 wished to remain anonymous. On the other end of the line, 45 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,160 she offered that one of those giant boomerang UFOs that people 46 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,280 had been reporting for years was heading in their direction. 47 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,200 It was currently heading along New York Route 9. 48 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,040 If he was to go to the windows or even to the roof of the 49 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,000 office, the photographer suggested he would likely see it 50 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,440 himself. She would explain in 2015 when 51 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,320 the case was re examined by Boone himself, that she had been 52 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,880 out at the Dutchess County Fair that summer. 53 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,520 Sunday in New York, around 20,000 people had attended, most 54 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,800 of which were now heading along the same Rd. as the boomerang 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,000 shaped UFO. The photographer had been on a 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,240 hill overlooking an affair, hoping to capture several more 57 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,800 shots of the hustle and bustle of the summer outing. 58 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,440 As she was doing this and speaking to someone nearby, she 59 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,880 suddenly noticed a strange sight, something that definitely 60 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,440 was not an airplane. The object was rounded and most 61 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,040 definitely a darker shade against the early evening sky 62 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,200 and furthermore it was huge. She and her friend continued to 63 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,200 watch for around 10 minutes when a sudden suddenly vanished in 64 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,280 the blink of an eye. She would recall in 2015 how it 65 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,000 just left. It wasn't there anymore. 66 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920 According to later witness statements, people along the 67 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,920 highway would pull their cars over and leave their vehicles. 68 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,200 Everyone was eager to get a good look at this most strange object 69 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,920 moving across the Poughkeepsie skyline. 70 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,080 Just imagine you're in this long lane of traffic and look up and 71 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,880 see this giant boomerang just cruising down the highway above 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,079 you. In the meantime, Boone, along 73 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:23,520 with two other Poughkeepsie journalists, went rushing to 74 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,000 their third floor window of the newspaper's office. 75 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,760 Despite their prior warning of what to of what to expect to 76 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,480 see, all were still in awe at the black object around 5 miles 77 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,200 away and 100 feet from the ground, heading in their 78 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,320 direction. On the underside of the craft, 79 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,120 amber and red lights were glowing. 80 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,760 Boone would later recall how large the object was by 81 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,560 comparison to how slow it was moving. 82 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,760 It certainly shouldn't have been flying at such a low altitude 83 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,200 over what was essentially a residential area. 84 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:56,280 When the object was to within a few miles, the lights suddenly 85 00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,840 shut off. It then would head directly 86 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:00,320 toward the newspaper office building. 87 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,360 It must have suddenly increased its speed as the thing got huge 88 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,040 very fast. In fact, it would fly over the 89 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,800 top of their building. From there, they would rush to 90 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,640 the other side of the office to see if it was visible from the 91 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,120 other side. When they couldn't see it, they 92 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,360 then made the decision to head to the bathrooms, which would 93 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,840 allow a clearview of the top of the building. 94 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,200 It moved once again, forcing them to rush once more to the 95 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,080 other side of the bathroom. Once more they could see the UFO 96 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,360 before it once more changed direction and disappeared 97 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,720 completely out of sight. All the while the huge object, 98 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,680 at least 200 feet wide, made no noise whatsoever. 99 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,160 Rushing back, Boone and several other journalists marvelled at 100 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,160 the photographs captured by their colleague and the many 101 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,920 thousands of witnesses they could speak to. 102 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,960 They would have the story of the century, surely, especially 103 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,720 given their access to such news outlets as AP and Reuters. 104 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,040 Then came the order. The story was not to run, and 105 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,560 according to Boone, the order came from on high. 106 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,600 As if to reiterate that order, the following day several 107 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,440 menacing chaps arrived at Poughkeepsie Journal offices. 108 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,360 Although no threats were issued, it was made clear that talk of 109 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,320 UFOs was to be steered clear of. Bemused and more than a little 110 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,920 angry with the decision, Boone wouldn't write an account of the 111 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,480 incident. He would, however, continue to 112 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,760 investigate it privately. Nor would the incident be the 113 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,760 last time such a craft was witnessed over Poughkeepsie 114 00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:34,160 Journal building. According to Boone. 115 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,240 Around a year later, in the summer of 1986, a huge saucer 116 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,240 shaped craft approached their building and like before, it 117 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,640 hovered silently for several minutes. 118 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,680 Boone would rush out of the building to his van to retrieve 119 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,520 his telescope. As he did, he looked directly 120 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,120 upwards and witnessed the boomerang object hovering 121 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,280 overhead with the first craft. He looked around. 122 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,080 There were three other people in the parking area. 123 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,520 All of them saw the object above. 124 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,400 Then both of the objects disappeared. 125 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,640 Boone would recall they must have been travelling over 500 126 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,240 miles an hour. According to Boone, the 127 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,680 boomerang object chased the circular object away and did so 128 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,360 in full view of the onlookers. And it almost sounds like some 129 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,600 kind of a dogfight going on. It is an interesting account, no 130 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,280 doubt. What should we make of the one 131 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,320 UFO chasing another away? Does that suggest a prevention 132 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,360 of some kind of attack that says, was there an unseen craft 133 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,960 present previously? Yeah, very neat. 134 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,880 And then it goes on and talks about some of the other things 135 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,480 here. It says boomerang shaped crafts 136 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,080 over New York and New Jersey since the late 60s has another 137 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,600 account here. Perhaps what is more intriguing 138 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,320 is that, according to Boone, these sightings of the black 139 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,520 boomerang date back to the start of a decade in 1980. 140 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,280 Boone would also claim to have witnessed the strange and 141 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,640 distinctly boomerang shaped object six times in total. 142 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480 In fact, there are several reports, one as far back as the 143 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,680 late 1960s, of strange boomerang shaped craft, several of which 144 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,800 in the New Jersey and New York areas of the United States. 145 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,600 It says. For example, shortly after 146 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,840 midnight on the 13th of August 1969 in Port Chester, NY came a 147 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,120 report of two solid boomerang shapes crossing the sky in 148 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,320 formation. The sighting came from the 149 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,720 resident of a 6th floor apartment in the area. 150 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,880 They were out on the terrace of the building watching for 151 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,799 potential meteors during their pristiated meteor shower. 152 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,120 Suddenly a bright light appeared on the horizon. 153 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,400 As his eyes focused, he could see two boomerang shaped things, 154 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,840 one slightly ahead of the other but in tight formation. 155 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,600 The objects passed overhead of the apartment, allowing the 156 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,360 witness to see their luminous silvery greenish blue collar. 157 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,560 They would then vanish from sight, not at any point making a 158 00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:00,160 sound. The whole incident lasted no 159 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,080 longer than two seconds. At around 10:00 PM on the 15th 160 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,640 July 1975 over New Jersey, a boyfriend and girlfriend 161 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,360 witnessed several boomerang shaped disk hovering overhead. 1 162 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,240 was distinctly larger than the rest and what appeared to have 163 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,680 some kind of control over the smaller craft. 164 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,760 The couple, along with the girl's parents, view the 165 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,520 encounter for almost 2 hours before the objects disappeared. 166 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,040 A sighting of a boomerang shaped craft in Rochester, New Jersey 167 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,840 in January of 1980 even has all the hallmarks of an alien 168 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,760 abduction following an implant recovered from the witness. 169 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,160 Wow, implant. Now that might not be proof, but 170 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,600 that is some pretty strong evidence. 171 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,000 Then it says there does appear to be a more significant 172 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,960 increase in boomerang shaped UFOs in and around New Jersey in 173 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,000 the 1980s. And while reports of these 174 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,200 specifically shaped craft decrease, some sightings still 175 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,560 occurred at around 7:00 PM on the 28th of August 1988 and West 176 00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:00,280 Slip, New York. For example, a husband and wife, 177 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,440 as well as her two children would report a large black 178 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,360 boomerang low to the ground near to their house. 179 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,080 The object would hover for around 2 minutes across the 180 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,360 street from their home. They would watch events unfold 181 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,040 from their back porch. The husband who would make the 182 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,520 report would state that the object had fairly sharp angled 183 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,600 surfaces. Furthermore, this exterior of 184 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,480 the craft had the look of a rough surface similar to Velcro. 185 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,800 He would also report that one of the wings of the boomerang 186 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,760 appeared flexible as it rose and vanished out of sight. 187 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,320 Another sighting occurred on the evening of the 12th July 2005 in 188 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,960 Parsippany, NJ. Around 11 PMA boomerang shaped 189 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,200 object with two lights in front and a red light in the back was 190 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,760 witnessed hovering overhead. The witness would claim the red 191 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,800 light seemed suspended from the craft and was around 2000 feet 192 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,480 above the ground. It then accelerated and moved 193 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,480 away at speed. Around 2 years later, just after 194 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,000 11:00 PM on the 28th of August 2007 in the town of Glassboro, 195 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,440 NJ, 2 witnesses would report seeing 2 bright lights coming 196 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,080 from over a house as they walked through the residential area. 197 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,960 These lights appeared out of complete darkness and had the 198 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,160 appearance of boomerangs. The objects, extremely low to 199 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,200 the ground, made a strange deep humming noise as it passed over 200 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,600 the pear. They eventually disappeared out 201 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,000 of sight behind the nearby trees. 202 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,600 Wow here. Another report says one of the 203 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,000 more recent sightings of these strange boomerang craft occurred 204 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,440 just before midnight on the 19th of June 2011. 205 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,760 A parent and their 18 year old daughter were leaving a movie 206 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,680 theater in Parsippany and walking to their car. 207 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,480 The teenager suddenly shouted to look up as she was doing so. 208 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,720 To the skies to the east of the pair was a very strange huge 209 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,040 group of orange, yellow and red lights glowing brightly. 210 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,560 Together. They formed an enormous 211 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,040 boomerang shape with the wing tips facing downwards. 212 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,120 Although the witnesses couldn't see any specific detail of the 213 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,000 craft, it was perfectly obvious that there was a solid structure 214 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,760 behind the lights. They would later estimate the 215 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,480 craft to be the size of a baseball field and was between 216 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,600 501,000 feet from the ground. It would hover in complete 217 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,480 silence for around a minute. As they watched, an orb appeared 218 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,200 on the right wing. At first, it simply remained 219 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,520 motionless, but after a short time it would travel along and 220 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,880 around the shape of the object, eventually finding its way back 221 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,240 to the point where it appeared. It's almost like it's a plasma 222 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,960 ball just racing along the edge of this craft or something and 223 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,760 says Then the craft began to disappear. 224 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,320 However, the witness would point out that it didn't appear to 225 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,400 travel away in the sky. Rather, it seemed to erase 226 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,680 itself. The lights would turn off or 227 00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:06,120 disappear one by one in some kind of order. 228 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,080 The final light was the one at the center of the craft, 229 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,560 although the outline of the craft was still barely visible. 230 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,040 When this final center light went out, though, the entire 231 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,600 craft vanished and there was nothing left in the sky. 232 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,840 And this article here does include a video what looks to me 233 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,480 like an orb at Poughkeepsie. Very, very cool stuff. 234 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,440 Yeah, I think that's a pretty good article. 235 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,880 Take a look at this next one here. 236 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,360 Really, these strange boomerang shaped UFOs. 237 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,240 Now, this is from UFO Digest. They have a lot of good stuff 238 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,840 over there. That was written by Robert D 239 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,960 Morningstar, published June 19th, 2015. 240 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,320 Title says the Poughkeepsie Black boomerang UFO 1985 by Greg 241 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,960 Boone. I will definitely post these 242 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,800 links at Kofi. Take a look at them over there 243 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,240 if you want to appreciate everybody that supports your 244 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,120 program there. And Spotify, don't forget to 245 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,560 like, follow and subscribe. Does not cost a dime. 246 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,720 This says this story should serve to provide our readers 247 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,560 with proof positive with the first hand account and a second 248 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:18,120 corroborating witness for the huge UFO cover up regularly 249 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,720 conducted during the 1980s by so-called mass media news 250 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,720 sources as a matter of course. But in this case specifically as 251 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,280 practiced by the news media in New York State and the 252 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,680 Northeastern region of the country as a general editorial 253 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,320 policy. This is really quote how it goes 254 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,360 when skeptical news media is confronted with UFO reality even 255 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,640 in their own editorial offices with their own officials as 256 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,640 their principal and primary witnesses. 257 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,200 You have to ask yourself, why are they shutting the story down 258 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,800 on August 25th, 1985, it says. I, along with ten other newsmen, 259 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,120 were on duty at the Poughkeepsie Journal, New Yorks oldest 260 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,320 newspaper and one of the flagships of the Gannett News 261 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,840 Service. It was a warm night around 9:35 262 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,280 PM on a summer Sunday when one of our photographers radioed in 263 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,320 that one of those giant boomerang UFOs that people had 264 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,720 been reporting for years was heading South on New York Route 265 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,240 9. Mind you, on this day it was 266 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,080 during the Duchess County Fair, one of the oldest and biggest 267 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,640 county fairs in the US Roughly 20,000 people leaving the fairs 268 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920 festivities for home with most of them traveling that way. 269 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,720 Highway New York Route 9 heading South from Rhinebeck, NY about 270 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:45,200 18 miles north of Poughkeepsie which is about 75 miles north of 271 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,600 New York City. This photographer was 272 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:53,280 interviewed nearly 30 years later on June 16th, 2015 by this 273 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,600 Co Investigator Editor. The photographer, who wishes to 274 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,440 remain anonymous, recounted that when she saw the UFO, she 275 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,000 reported the sighting immediately to the newspaper 276 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,760 office, IE the Poughkeepsie Journal where she worked. 277 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,880 The photographer related that she had been on a hill 278 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,240 overlooking the surrounding area, that while she was on the 279 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,120 hill talking to someone, she noticed a strange sight, 280 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,120 something that definitely was not an airplane or anything like 281 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,640 it. She recalled vividly that she 282 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,720 was looking to the east and recalled that there had been 283 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,280 rumors from about ultralight flights coming out of Stormville 284 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,040 and being confused for a large circular UFO. 285 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,560 Seems kind of hard for me to imagine how you would confuse an 286 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,920 ultralight with a large circular UFO. 287 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,200 Anyway, the object was round in shape and they took it very 288 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,480 seriously. They stood watching the place, 289 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,000 both the observers and the object, for about 5 to 10 290 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,120 minutes when suddenly it just disappeared. 291 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,760 The witness affirmed that she had very good vision of 292 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,480 photographer's eyes and that she had no clue as to how the object 293 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,200 left. Still mystified about it even 294 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,640 now, three decades later, this witness states it just left. 295 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,400 It wasn't there anymore. I didn't see it fly away to the 296 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,920 horizon or anything like that. I don't know how, but it just 297 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,040 wasn't there. Our photographer stated that the 298 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,800 craft was huge and headed South and it might be visible from our 299 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,079 office windows, which are on the 3rd floor. 300 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,320 I and two other editors dashed to the northern window of the 301 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,760 managing editor's office, and sure enough, at a distance of 302 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,280 approximately 5 miles, we saw a dark shape about 100 feet above 303 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,440 the ground, with amber and red lights slowly growing bigger as 304 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,800 they headed our way. It was really big, slow moving, 305 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,040 and in no way was such a thing supposed to be flying over 306 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,120 residential areas. Folks up there have shotguns and 307 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,680 use them at the drop of a hat. Poughkeepsie is a very old 308 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,520 Republican territory, folks. They're still beefed about Pearl 309 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,960 Harbor like it was yesterday on the highway. 310 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,560 Thousands and thousands of people were so alarmed they 311 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,240 bolted from their cars to gander at this craft. 312 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,840 So this is a mass UFO sighting. Of the 10 editors reporters 313 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,440 there, I believe only three were not ex military. 314 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,040 I stood there and watched as the craft suddenly got within a 315 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,000 couple miles and shut off its lights after four while it 316 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,000 pivoted to port, traveled EA bit, then startingly made a hard 317 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,120 starboard turn and headed straight for us as it came 318 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:42,360 toward us. This thing got huge very fast, 319 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,360 and believe it or not, the UFO flew right over all of us, right 320 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,120 over the top of the building, about 40 feet above where we 321 00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:55,960 stood gazing in amazement. The craft had to be at least 200 322 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,560 feet wide and it was jet black. The illumination of the 323 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,880 streetlights was not reflecting anything off its surface in any 324 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,720 way that we could determine, as if it was absorbing the ambient 325 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,320 light. So wanting to get a better 326 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,760 glimpse of it, we dashed to the other windows to see if it had 327 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,200 passed overhead. The UFO couldn't be seen, and we 328 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,000 realized it might be hovering over us. 329 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,880 Sure enough, that's exactly what it did. 330 00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:26,200 It stopped to hover over our office building, so we dashed to 331 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,680 one of the bathrooms that faced east. 332 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,920 And that's when the craft turned E again and glided over the more 333 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,640 heavily populated section of the city noiselessly. 334 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,040 And then the UFO was gone. Mind you, thousands saw this 335 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,400 UFO, as they say, as clear as a bell. 336 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,800 Veteran military and veteran news and veteran law enforcement 337 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,120 had seen it as well. I immediately thought of Stan 338 00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:55,480 Friedman as he had lectured of UFOs at Dutchess Community 339 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,240 College several years earlier, and we ran a kind of story about 340 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,280 it. Yes, Stan. 341 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,960 I was leaning over the city desk making sure I got it kindly 342 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,560 since we had access to AP. Gannett News, Reuters, etcetera, 343 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,160 as well as USA TODAY, which we mainly put out. 344 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,000 We were sure that this UFO event would be reported big time. 345 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,120 Well, we were sitting there screaming at the photos and 346 00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:22,480 reporters asserting that this will be the story of the century 347 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,840 and already planning reports and photos, when suddenly, no, 348 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,920 emphatically no exclamation point. 349 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,200 The word came down from on high that not one word was to be 350 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,480 mentioned. A huge, solid, unidentified 351 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,240 object had hovered, maneuvered, and had been seen by thousands 352 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,400 of eyewitnesses. Pictures were taken and no 353 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,880 mention, not a word of it was reported anywhere. 354 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,960 Next day some menacing chaps showed up in our editorial 355 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,720 office. I got in big trouble for staring 356 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,720 back just as menacingly that night at the local watering hole 357 00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:02,560 where I would sit and do sketches after work. 358 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,000 Another big menacing fellow waltzes in with a stack of 359 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,880 papers and picks 8 inches high. Suddenly he slammed them down in 360 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,320 the bar and bellowed out a challenge that sounded like a 361 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,320 threat. So somebody in here wanted to 362 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,520 talk about UFOs. Question mark. 363 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,960 He made a big mistake. My high school and college chums 364 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,440 were at the bar that night and we are just as big and menacing. 365 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,840 He was ceremoniously ushered out of the bar by about 3000 lbs of 366 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,240 angry citizens. This was the first time that 367 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,320 craft flew over our newspapers, but it wasn't to be the last. 368 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,960 About a year later a huge saucer shaped craft did the same thing. 369 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,040 We all bolted outside, this time onto the roof of the building, 370 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,080 and we saw a circle of lights about 1/2 mile wide hovering 371 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,920 over a local monument that rests on a hill that couples go to 372 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,480 pitch woo. It was there for about 10 373 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,480 minutes and the cops and many people saw it. 374 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,520 Wow, this guy. Thanks for writing this all 375 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,720 down, but I don't know if this fellas even still around. 376 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,280 You know, this happened about 40 years ago, but they talk about 377 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,320 being told not to right about it. 378 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,400 They couldn't show the pictures. This guy just kind of goes along 379 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,360 with it, man. He kind of puts himself in a 380 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:19,760 good light here of why I really stared him down. 381 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,760 Yeah, the guy came in the bar and he tried to be a tough guy. 382 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,960 But but we we are shooting out of there. 383 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000 This is typical news media when they act in a very frightened, I 384 00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:34,520 almost cowardly way and then try to convince us that they were 385 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,840 the tough guys. This is why I really don't care 386 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,760 for much of the main mainstream media. 387 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,440 This is the kind of mindset they see a UFO, they see it over over 388 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,920 their newspaper office. 10 of them, man, we've got the story 389 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,720 of a century. We've got pictures, we've got 390 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,280 eyewitnesses. We're really going to put this 391 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,520 thing together. This is going to be awesome. 392 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,480 And then they get a phone call. No, you're not doing anything. 393 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,920 Do they say I'm going to quit my job on principle and tell the 394 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,640 story and tell the truth? Hey, by the way, America, you've 395 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,640 been invaded by an alien alien species perhaps, or some sort of 396 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,840 in dimensional beings flying these flying saucers and giant 397 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,560 boomerangs over over our newspaper office. 398 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,160 No, they lay down, they roll over. 399 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,000 They do exactly what they're told. 400 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,040 Oh, this fellow tells us. Well, I got into a lot of 401 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,240 trouble because I really stared back at him. 402 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,960 Yeah, you gave him a dirty look. And then just to make sure the 403 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,720 points made, these deep state scum, men in black, whatever you 404 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,440 want to call them, they go waltz. 405 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,160 One of them goes waltzing into this bar and makes a big scene. 406 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,680 Anybody here want to talk about UFOs? 407 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,440 Well, not to you, jerk, but what's this guy do? 408 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,720 Well, we, we ushered him out of there. 3000 lbs of, you know, 409 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,200 local, local tough guys. Yeah, but did you tell the rest 410 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,520 of us about it? Did you warn us? 411 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,480 Did you give us any kind of hint what was happening? 412 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,080 No, because you didn't want to lose your job. 413 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,160 They don't. They don't want to be without 414 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,560 money for a mortgage payment or a car payment. 415 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,800 Their own personal comfort. It's far more important to them 416 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,040 than Uri. Safety goes on down and says. 417 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,600 Then came the most remarkable part. 418 00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:24,160 As I dashed downstairs to get my trusty telescope from my van to 419 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,600 get a closer look, I suddenly looked straight up and another 420 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,520 large boomerang object was directly overhead. 421 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,520 Three people were in the parking lot at the time with me and we 422 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,240 stared at it. Then it kicked in orange 423 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,440 afterburners. I recall 6 laterally on its aft 424 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,000 section took off like a rocket due West at high speed and then 425 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,680 did a hard bank to port. That surprised us and must have 426 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,320 taken off over the southwest at over 500 mile per hour easy. 427 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,520 We could hear all caps them as the afterburners kicked in quote 428 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,040 UN quote overhead. Obviously this object was not 429 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,520 the source of the circular lights, but we suspect the 430 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,640 boomerang shape thing object chased away the circular object. 431 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,360 Well, maybe this is some sort of high tech craft of our own 432 00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:16,480 that's making an appearance, I don't know. 433 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:21,400 That's two UFOs and one sighting at night close up and again with 434 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,920 multiple witnesses. That's two UFO sightings and 435 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:30,120 1:00 at night way back in 1980. A friend got pics of it. 436 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,080 That was the first time I heard of it. 437 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:34,840 And we developed the film with the newspaper ourselves. 438 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,640 It was nothing really unusual, but we could definitely see the 439 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,880 boomerang shape and we figured just another test aircraft at 440 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,280 that region which is famous for testing secret aircraft. 441 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,160 I've seen these types of UFO craft about 6 times and way back 442 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,040 in 1980 a friend got pics of it. For example, the very first time 443 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,120 I'd heard it, we developed the film with the newspaper 444 00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:00,840 ourselves. These photos showed nothing too 445 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,800 unusual it says. But the boomerang shape was 446 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,560 definitely visible. But as we figured then we just 447 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,400 thought just another test aircraft. 448 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,480 Well, and then he goes on to say mum was the word. 449 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,640 I have mixed feelings. I'm glad the guy wrote this 450 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,600 article all these years later. This Greg Boone talking about 451 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,840 their experience on multiple occasions of having seen these 452 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,240 UFOs. Apparently back in the early 80s 453 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,720 and then again in 85. Neither time were they allowed 454 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,160 to talk about them or post photographs or anything. 455 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,760 Both times they just laid down and took it. 456 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:36,720 Meanwhile, he kind of presents himself as a tough guy. 457 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,640 He started back menacingly at this deep state MIB or whatever 458 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,760 that was there to try to belittle and bully these people. 459 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,120 And they're not saying anything. Now, granted, it was 1985, pre 460 00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:51,520 Internet, pre a lot of things. But this is, I think, a typical 461 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,800 reaction of mainline media doing what they're told to do, saying 462 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,800 what they're told to say. We've all seen the video 463 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,840 colleges where a local news story will lead out, blah blah 464 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,960 blah, and then every other local news forecast in the country 465 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,280 pretty much repeats it pairs the same talking points. 466 00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:16,480 We've all seen those to just show you how not independent 467 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,040 your local news is. They can't even write copy for 468 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,680 themselves. And I see the same thing here in 469 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,720 this local newspaper back in 198085 there in New York, as 470 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,600 they suppress what literally could have been the story of the 471 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,080 century. And you have to ask yourself, 472 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,840 how do these news people sleep at night? 473 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,400 How do they justify this? Because they were threatened and 474 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,680 they missed of being threatened in the midst of kowtowing and 475 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,520 bowing down to these deep state thugs still trying to present 476 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,960 themselves as the tough guys. We ushered him out of the bar. 477 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,560 Boy, we really showed him, yes, they were certainly the tough 478 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,800 guys. They ushered the MIB out of the 479 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,720 bar, it sounds like. But they didn't publish the 480 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,960 story and they didn't publish the pics, and they still aren't 481 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,840 showing you the pictures because they're doing what they're told 482 00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:04,560 to do. And that's what deep state media 483 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,200 does. That's what your that's what all 484 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,240 your media does. Pretty much for the first time 485 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,720 in the history of mankind, we have a way to spread this 486 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,600 message across multiple platforms with the Internet. 487 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,800 And it's been a lot of fun for the last couple years. 488 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,520 But you can start to see now how they've started to tamp and 489 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,280 things down to effectively corral and rope in your search 490 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,200 results to prevent communication between each other. 491 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,520 I see my own program here just getting slammed day after day 492 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,480 after day. Shadow band, no doubt in my mind 493 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,120 about it. Sometimes you can't even find on 494 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:37,440 the search engine. Sometimes it'll pop right up. 495 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,680 It's just constant struggle for the truth. 496 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,720 Until next time. This is UFO warning over and 497 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:42,920 out.
