The Hudson Valley wave: UFO sightings

The Hudson Valley Wave UFO Phenomenon was a series of sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that occurred in the Hudson Valley region of New York state in the United States during the 1980s and early 1990s. This series of sightings is considered one of the largest and most documented UFO sightings in US history.

The sightings began in the early 1980s and continued into the early 1990s. Witnesses described seeing large, triangular-shaped objects that were silent and moved slowly through the sky. The objects were said to be as large as a football field and were described as having a series of lights along their edges. Witnesses reported that the objects were able to hover in place and move quickly and abruptly, defying the laws of physics as we currently understand them.

The first reported sighting occurred on March 24, 1983, when a police officer in Brewster, New York, reported seeing a strange object in the sky. This sighting was followed by numerous other reports from witnesses throughout the region. In 1984, the New York State Police and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began receiving a large number of reports of strange objects in the sky. The FAA investigated the reports and concluded that the objects were not aircraft and could not be explained by any known natural phenomena.

The sightings continued throughout the 1980s, and many witnesses reported seeing the objects at close range. Some witnesses reported seeing small, humanoid figures inside the objects. One witness reported seeing a beam of light from one of the objects that seemed to be scanning the ground below. Another witness reported seeing the object land in a field and then take off again.

The sightings were so frequent and well-documented that a group called the “Westchester UFO Sightings Task Force” was formed to investigate the phenomenon. The group was led by researcher and author Philip J. Imbrogno, who conducted numerous interviews with witnesses and collected a large amount of photographic and video evidence.

According to eyewitness accounts, the Hudson Valley Wave UFOs were massive in size, with some estimates putting them at up to a mile in length. The triangular shape was described as being very distinct, with sharp angles and flat sides that seemed to be made of a dark, metallic material.

The lights on the edges of the craft were often described as being bright and colorful, with some witnesses reporting that the lights seemed to be pulsing or changing color in a pattern. Some witnesses also reported seeing a red light in the center of the craft.

Despite the size and brightness of the lights, the craft themselves were reported to be completely silent, with no sound coming from the engines or any other part of the craft. This silence was described as being particularly eerie, as it seemed to suggest that the craft were not powered by any conventional means.

Despite the large number of sightings and the extensive investigation by the Westchester UFO Sightings Task Force, no definitive explanation for the phenomenon has been found. Some skeptics have suggested that the sightings may have been caused by experimental military aircraft or some other type of secret technology. However, no evidence has been found to support this theory.

The Hudson Valley Wave UFO Phenomenon remains one of the most intriguing and unexplained UFO sightings in US history. The large number of witnesses, the consistency of their descriptions, and the lack of any plausible explanation make it a mystery that continues to fascinate UFO researchers and enthusiasts.

The Hudson Valley in New York has been the site of numerous UFO sightings over the years. Here are some notable ones:

1. The 1983 Westchester County Sightings – In the summer of 1983, there were multiple reports of UFO sightings over Westchester County. Witnesses reported seeing a large, silent craft with multicolored lights hovering in the sky.
2. The Pine Bush Sightings – In the early 1990s, residents of Pine Bush, a small town in the Hudson Valley, reported seeing numerous UFOs in the sky. Witnesses described seeing a variety of strange lights and shapes, including disc-shaped objects and triangles.
3. The Taconic Parkway Sightings – In the summer of 2004, there were several reports of UFO sightings along the Taconic Parkway in New York. Witnesses reported seeing a large, triangular-shaped craft with bright lights.
4. The Stephentown Sightings – In 2015, residents of Stephentown, a town in Rensselaer County, reported seeing a UFO hovering in the sky. Witnesses described seeing a bright, pulsating light that moved in a zig-zag pattern before disappearing.
5. The Saugerties Sightings – In 2017, residents of Saugerties, a town in Ulster County, reported seeing a UFO hovering in the sky. Witnesses described seeing a large, silent craft with flashing lights that appeared to be scanning the area.
