Night Siege: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings

by J. Allen Hynek and Philip J. Imbrogno

Book Overview

Five thousand responsible people claim to have seen something... Some say it is larger than a football field. The color seems to be dark metallic gray, with brilliant flashing colored lights that form a "V." It is unclear whether there is one object--or several. One thing is clear: Something is in the air above the homes, the highways, the ponds, the very backyards of one of the most densely populated suburban areas in the U.S.A.

Outstanding

Great documentation, superior reporting. A great read for UFO buffs and those who may be skeptical about the UFO phenomenon.

It's not until someone reads up on Nikola Tesla that one finds out that all UFO's are most likely ex

A few years ago, I read this fascinating account about the famous "Weschester Boomerang" sightings of the Hudson Valley and what made this so believable was that it was coming from the type of people who were highly educated and were the type of people who laugh at people who claimed to have witnessed UFO's. The first time I had ever heard about these sightings was on an Unsolved Mysteries episode. A number of people thought this was a spaceship from another world and so did I at one time. However, it wasn't until I researched the life, times, and inventions of a brilliant genius named Nikola Tesla that I realized that all UFO's are most likely secret government projects that are still using his inventions to this very day. What is incredible about Tesla is that he invented a lot of technology that we use today back in the late 1800's!! Among his inventions were remote control, lasers, X-Rays, Alternating Current, Radio, Robotics, and Wireless Communication, just to name a few. What is amazing is that he had over 700 patents and a lot of his work he had to keep secret, for fear of being stolen from other people, which is why we haven't heard much about his inventions until years later. In fact, computers were actually already being developed as early as the 1940's, using Tesla's technical know-how, and Tesla was by far not the only genius who developed items that were way ahead of their time. When one sees how much technology was actually invented over 100 years ago, then it is not hard to believe that the government around the 1980's would have a huge metallic structure that could fly silently, especially when one realizes that technology is exponential. Also, in recent years there have been a number of articles written about the government experimenting with anti-gravity technology--no, not from aliens, but from geniuses like Nikola Tesla. At any rate, this book is well-written and is surprisingly down to earth for being a UFO book and is fun reading.

Excellent Book!

This is definitely becoming a comedy. To the people out there who say they saw the ultralight planes and laugh at those who thought it was a UFO, I say this to you: IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU SAW THE ULTRALIGHT FLYERS BUT NEVER SAW THE ACTUAL UFO? Indeed, some of the sightings may have been of a formation of small planes, perhaps even the Stormville Flyers as they were called. However, some of the sightings were made on nights when all conventional aircraft were grounded due to the weather, and some were made on nights when observers watching the Stormville airport reported no planes took off from there. Many people who saw both the small planes flying and also saw the UFO said there was no comparison between the two, it was easy to tell them apart. In Belgium in 1994, in Arizona in the late 90s (not the Phoenix flares) and in Illinois in 2000. Giant black triangles were reported by credible people and seen by hundreds if not thousands. Air traffic controllers & police officers, trained observers, were all eyewitnesses. They didn't know exactly what they were seeing, but they did know this: THOSE WERE NOT ULTRALIGHT AIRCRAFT. Was it the famous Stealth Blimp that was recently reported in Popular Science? I don't know, but who does? This book will give you a great start if you want to find out.

Amazing piece of research

This is without a doubt the best book on UFOs ever written. I read it cover to cover in one night. It reads like an adventure story and it is proof of something strange in the skies. The best book on the subject I have come across in thirty years!!

Exciting I could not put it down

This book documents a UFO event that made history.. I must thank the authors for writing such a riviting book that proves we are being Visted by ETs... A work of reading Art
