“Ossining, New York
March 24, 1983”
(NICAP.org)
The whole UFO case report:
“Animal Reaction Feature:
David Scarpino, accountant, was walking his Golden Retriever around the Ossining
Reservoir at 8:15 pm. He saw bright lights in a boomerang formation hovering
over a large tree a few feet away from him. His dog did not appear to notice
the object.
Joan Woodward, Animal Reaction Specialist:
Scarpino noticed the lights over his shoulder and turned to see 12 bright
lights as described above. He thought the lights were on one solid object and
compared its size to that of a 747. He could hear no sound. As he watched, the
lights slowly turned 180 degrees ‘as if on a wheel’ and started moving south at
walking speed. The object again hovered. All but one blue and one green light
went out, and then those lights blinked out. Nothing more was seen.
No EM effects and no physiological effects were reported.
This was one of hundreds of boomerang sightings between 7:30 pm and 9:30
pm in Westchester and Putnam
Counties .

The whole article:
“ ‘Another UFO was reported in the area last week, and as a [Suburban
Trends] reporter pointed out, it would have been difficult to find a more
veracious observer,’ reads an editorial from March 17, 1966.
‘Mother Superior Veronica, Mount St. Francis Convent, Ringwood, reported
seeing an object streak across the sky early last Thursday morning. It was
‘like a flying kite on fire,’ she said.
‘The object, reminiscent of Elijah’s flaming chariot (though the mother
superior did not point this out), left ‘a red glow in its wake,’ the editorial
said.
‘Mother Veronica said she later saw another, dimmer light over the
cemetery, and another nun reported that same morning she saw a bright light
over the Wanaque Reservoir, site of other recent
‘sightings.’ ’
‘sightings.’ ’
In light of the rash of UFO sightings, we said that maybe someone was
trying to tell us something.
‘On the other hand, such activities did not seem to us all that unusual,
what with St. Patrick’s Day upon us…’
The editorial then related a small Irish tale: ‘ ‘tell me,’ said a young
man to an Irish crone many years ago. ‘Do you believe in wee people?’
‘ ‘Glory be to God no,’ answered the old woman. Then, in a confidential
whisper, ‘But they’re there.’ ’ ”

Quote from the UFO report:
“This is currently a 10-page chronology of UFO
incidents and events for 1992. Our thanks for these chronologies must go to
Richard Hall (the original 1992 chronology from UFOE II), Dan Wilson (archive
researcher), and Jean Waskiewicz (online NICAP DBase [NSID]. You will note the
many foreign reports that we are now being able to access. Our special thanks
to Dan Wilson for getting those to us. As more come in, this page will be
updated. Previous chronologies (1947 to 1969) involved the expertise of two
other team members; Rebecca Wise (Project Blue Book Archive) and Brad Sparks
(Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns). Bob Gribble’s entries
are those filed with the National UFO Reporting
Center in Seattle , Washington ,
now operated by Peter Davenport. Trace cases are now being entered with the
help of Ted Phillips, Center for Physical Trace Research and retrofitted into
previous chronologies as time permits. Since I was Indiana State Director
(MUFON) at that time, some of our Indiana
cases are listed here.

Late at night a farmer that had experienced strange
cattle mutilations in the past was awakened by the sound of his dog barking.
The farmer went to investigate and upon entering the cow shed saw a small white
‘object’ resembling a jellyfish with numerous tentacle-like protrusions coming
out of its bottom. The ‘object’ was floating in the air; it then drifted
outside where it vanished. A cow was discovered on the floor. It had a badly
broken leg. (Source: Jenny Randles, Peter A. Hough, World Best True UFO

“Oakland policeman reports seeing UFO”
3 March 1982
(Central Maine Morning Sentinel, Waterville , Maine )

The whole article (Page 6):
“Anyone
unlucky enough to be up at 4:50 a.m. Monday (1 March 1982) when thermometers
around Oakland registered from 20 to 28 below zero had the opportunity for a
reward of a sort — an unidentified flying object.
Two Oakland men, one an Oakland
police officer who was on duty at the time, have reported seeing an unexplained
light in the sky between Messalonskee
Lake and the Waterville
Country Club.
Police
Sgt. Ralph Sabins reported the sighting in the police log as occurring at 4:50
a.m. March 1. His official description listed the light, which was brighter
than any of the stars or planets visible, as being over Messalonskee Lake
as sighted from the Country Club
Road .
He
reported it hovered there before heading toward the northeast (over his head)
without any discernible engine noise. When the light passed overhead, power
lines shook and fluttered even though there was no wind, Sabins wrote.
Dan
Savage, leaving his house to go get breakfast before opening his variety store
in Oakland
reported a similar experience. He said he was out in front of his house at 4:55
a.m. Monday when he noticed the bright light in the sky and assumed at first it
was an ‘airplane or something.’
When it
dropped down at a 45 degree angle and then went off straight, parallel to the
horizon, he knew it wasn’t a plane. ‘There was no noise, no sound,’ he said,
even though it was cold, clear and still that he could hear the frozen trees
popping and crackling along the edge of the lake.
He said he watched it head off over Libby Hill toward where Sabins had observed it from, and that he was mystified by the fact that it was so quiet. ‘I’ve seen falling stars,’ he said, adding that his certainly wasn’t one. He described it as being a lot brighter than any of the stars that morning.
Savage said that later in the day a woman was in his store, Dan’s Variety, when she asked if anyone had noticed anything strange at about
Savage
mentioned his sighting at a local breakfast restaurant immediately after he saw
it, and, after getting a few raised eyebrows from other patrons, he found that
Sabins, who was at the counter, had just seen the same thing.”

“09-15-1962
DISC LANDING REPORTED IN NEW JERSEY – IN U.S.
& ABROAD SIGHTINGS CONTINUE”
The whole UFO case report:
“(Extract-CF-)
A series of New Jersey police sightings after a
reported disc landing in a reservoir -- important because police and several
newspapers openly rejected an attempted ‘hoax’ explanation.
The action began on September 15. At 5 p.m., two shiny
discs were seen over Oradell, N.J. At 6 p.m., two shiny, round UFOs were
sighted by former Navy flying officer J. J. McVickers just across the state
line. At 7:50, NICAP member Victor Cipolla saw a glowing object descend toward
Oradell, and other witnesses saw it dart back and forth near the reservoir. At
7:55, three teen-aged boys saw a bright, oval-shaped object land in the
reservoir with a loud splash. A man working nearby also heard the splash,
according to police. After a moment the strange device took off, climbed
silently at high speed.
As McGuire AFB began an investigation, new reports
came in. On September 21, four Hawthorne police officers watched a device with
two beam-like headlights hover over a quarry. Officer George Jediny, in a
report to NICAP, said the UFO -- which he sketched as a disc -- seemed to
revolve. The quarry night watchman, Wm. Stocks, said the UFO had also appeared
the night before. When he drove a Jeep nearer to check up, the object
maneuvered to keep out of the headlights. (Similar reaction often reported.)
Just after midnight, September 24, the same or a
similar device was seen over the quarry by over a dozen Hawthorne police
officers and the chief reporter of the N. J. State Press, George Della Penta.
When a police-car spotlight was pointed up at the UFO, it began to move. Before
it left, Mr. Della Penta shot 18
feet of color film. (Analysis not completed.)
Later, Oradell police received a letter signed ‘The
Bergenfield Pranksters,’ purporting to be from some boys who said they faked
the sightings with aluminum-coated model aircraft supported by helium balloons.
This was promptly rejected by the police and newspapers that checked the facts,
among them:
The Newark
Evening News, Science Writer Philip Del Vecchio: ‘It would
have been impossible for them (the Bergen County boys) to put their model
planes so high that they could be seen in Hawthorne... No object such as they
could have put together could have moved at the lightning speeds attributed to
the UFO. The light... could not have been produced by amateurs. This newspaper
makes an appeal to other residents ...with the assurance that reports will be
treated with dignity.
The
Hawthorne Observer, rebuking those who accepted an
unsigned letter from a town miles away, said it was time to treat the reports
seriously.
The
Riverdale Sunday Trend: ‘Suppose the real hoax is the
letter purporting to explain the whole thing?’
The Hawthorne
News Record: ‘To imply so flippantly that our police
officers spent almost half an hour looking at a balloon and then watched it
speed away at an incredible rate -- all in quite an opposite direction from
Oradell--is insulting.’
The Newark
Sunday News: ‘Flying saucers are still a big
mystery...are seen with great regularity by sane and logical inhabitants of the
planet Earth. What they are and where they come from and what their mission is
has not yet been satisfactorily explained.’
Regardless of the final outcome, these New Jersey sightings have shown that an increasing number of newspapers no longer accept quick brush-off answers to sightings by competent witnesses.

“Probe Into UFO’s At Lake Is Asked”
6 March 1969
(The Gazette-Virginian, South Boston, Virginia)
Source: Fold3.com, Lindon, Utah
The whole article:
“A federal investigation into the mysterious light
objects which have appeared over Buggs Island Lake for the past two months have
been called for by Mecklenburg County Sheriff W. E. Newman.
Sheriff Newman, armed with newspaper clippings of the
sightings around John Kerr Dam, wrote Fifth District Congressman W. C. (Dan)
Daniel asking for an investigation into the strange lights which have flown
over the dam area.
The investigation would presumably be made by the U.S.
Air Force which has charge of investigating unidentified flying objects.
The first reported sighting came February 9 when an
ex-Army Sergeant living near the dam reported what he thought was a small plane
crashing into the lake. The last reported sighting came as recently as Tuesday
night (4 March 1969).
Newspaper reporters from Mecklenburg returned to the
dam Tuesday night in an effort to see the light and as they were approaching on
Route 4, some three miles from the dam, the light could plainly be seen in the
clear sky overhead.
The time of the sighting was placed about 8:30 p.m. As
reporters raced closer to the dam to get a better view, the object dropped down
out of sight.
Reporters then crossed the dam, and at about the dam’s
midpoint, the object appeared again, this time flying directly overhead at an
altitude of about 500 feet .
The object made no sound and was estimated to be cylindrical in shape and
slightly longer than an automobile.
They stopped their car for a better look and watched
the object for more than a minute as it travelled south down the lake.
They said that the object had two bright lights on its
extremities which pulsated in sequence. Both were white. As they blinked, a
dimmer light seemed to pace back and forth from the two brighter lights. It was
travelling at a speed well below 100 miles an hour, they said.
As the object disappeared, the reporters left the
vicinity of the dam to travel east on Route 4, about a mile from the dam to a
country store.
There ex-Army Sergeant Phillip Spencer, who has
claimed to have seen the light on numerous occasions, was waiting with a 35 mm camera. While reporters
were loading the camera with film, several persons standing nearby spotted the
object again over the dam. Only this time it was moving in an opposite
direction from which it was observed only minutes before.
Reporters went back to the dam in an effort to
photograph the light, but when they reached the dam, the light had vanished.
Hundreds of Mecklenburg County persons have viewed the
lights, some as long ago as last November, but the sightings have come with
increasing frequency in recent months. All descriptions of the objects have
been identical, particularly those who saw the object at close range.
Basically the description is as follows:
The object is slightly larger than an automobile; it
has lights which pulsate and sometimes change colors from bright red to white
to blue; it makes no sound; it is capable of flying at speeds far faster than jet
aircraft and yet hover; it is most frequently seen around the John Kerr dam; it
appears in the early evening hours.”
