Summary : A brief account of the sighting that I hadon the evening of Tuesday, 3 December 1985,in Walden, NY.
My one and only sighting occurred on the eveningof Tuesday, 3 December 1985, at approximately 6:15 PMin Walden, a small village about seventy-five miles northof New York City. I had just driven into the parking spacein front of my apartment and had gotten out of the driver'sseat when I looked north and saw a glowing ellipse, justlike the bowl of a street lamp. The ellipse was absolutelyfeatureless and absolutely still, and its bottom thirdportion was hidden by the tops of some nearby houses.Now I had never seen such a light before in that position,nor did I ever see such a light again during the remainingfive years that I lived in the village of Walden. I looked atit with considerable surprise, and I remember sayingto myself, "This must be a UFO…But I will never see aUFO, so it cannot be one…" I looked at it for about fiveminutes, and then I went into my apartment. I now realizethat the UFO must have been hovering over the WallkillRiver, midway between Walden and the hamlet of Wallkill,which are about two-and-a-half miles apart on the WallkillRiver. About 75 minutes later (about 7:30 PM), I waswatching the evening news on television after having eatendinner when I suddenly heard the most deafening soundover the house in which I lived. It sounded like a helicopter,but much louder than any helicopter that I have everheard before or since. The sound was so loud that it wasactually shaking the house. I flew out the door to see whatcould have been causing the sound, and but I could seenothing flying over my house. But at that moment, I knewin my heart that I
