MORE RESIDENTS REPORT SEEING UFO
By Jennifer Shaffer
DAMASCUS -- Several area residents have come forth with
additional information pertaining to the reported sightings of
unidentified flying objects (UFO) over the weekend of May 20 and
21. Fred Weigelt, a retired game protector, and eight fellow
game protectors, were camping Saturday evening, May 20, in Long
Eddy. The members of the group reportedly saw three lights, in
the form of a triangle, high in the sky near Pennsylvania Ridge.
The lights were reddish-orange in color and did not blink. Also
present were two steady red lights, each a football field apart
in distance. No blinking lights or strobe lights -- the type
found on standard aircraft -- could be seen.
The object did not emit any sounds, according to the group,
until it started to move slowly away at an angle. It then
emitted a low noise, much like the sound of a large electric
generator. "It was definitely not a combustion engine," said
Weigelt.
According to Weigelt, the group saw the object, or at least
the lights, at 10:32 p.m. "It was too dark out to discern the
complete shape of the object. We couldn't see an outline or get
any perception of depth. but, from the positions of the lights,
it appeared to be bigger in size than any plane or derigible I've
ever seen," he said.
For many years prior to his retirement, Weigelt was the
District Game Protector for northern Wayne County. As a trained
observer for over 34 years, Weigelt believes he has the
experience necessary to be able to distinguish the difference
between what often appears to be alien intervention and what is
really easily-explainable natural phenomena. But this time, he
was amazed at what he and the members of the group saw. "Some of
the guys outside the tarp called to the rest of us when they saw
the lights," he said. "When we got where we could see them, I
didn't know what to think. For years, anytime someone mentioned
UFOs, I thought they were crazy, but this I can't explain."
