Wanaque Reservoir, NJ - Sphere

January 11, 1966 Infamous UFO at Wanaque Reservoir, NJ. I want to share my Uncle's sighting which has been in the family for many years with everyone. This actually started me to be interested in the UFO Phenomenon. I was 5 years old living in Passaic County, NJ. I remember the phone call that we received from my uncle that night who lived in Wanaque, NJ, on Snake Den Road.

I remember my father answering the call and my very excitable Uncle was talking to my father about him seeing this object over the reservoir that was very bright and changed colors with a beam shooting to the ice covered reservoir with no sound. As my uncle who was talking a million miles a minute, I remember my father telling him to calm down many many times!! My Father replied: "I can't understand what you are saying!! as my dad was laughing"..

My dad finally pick out pieces out and figured out that my uncle witnessed the "UFO" or "Object" hovering over the reservoir just North of West Brook Road Bridge..

Anyone familiar with West Brook Road will know that this part is a short small skinny lane what appears to be a dam that crosses the reservoir.. As my uncle was driving North from Pompton Plains on Ringwood Ave. then attempting to make the left onto Westbrook Rd he saw the Object in the sky with many onlookers parked around the area.

My uncle watched this object sit there and beaming a "Light" on the ice. My uncle insisted that the object was not any aircraft or helicopter or balloon.

I'm not sure what happened after that but the object departed. South towards Ringwood Ave.. My uncle was so excited, he drove to our home the next day and told us the story. I was amazed and stunned as any 5 year old would be. So, as my uncle was explaining what he saw and witnesses it was something to hear that day and I was somewhat part of a historical sighting of a UFO.
