Two nights ago, something happened in my home county that would have seriously freaked me out when I was 14.
Nationally recognized UFO sightings!
I would normally think that the news people would doctor up a video to keep things exciting in the stagnant local news environment of early January, but my dad actually saw this too. He reports...
"Believe it or not, I actually saw them too! I had left for Syracuse and was driving along Route 24 to 287 about 8:40PM. I glanced up to the left and saw the 5 red lights. At first I thought they were landing lights for Morristown airport (since it’s right there), but then I noticed they were moving. Pretty slow, so the notion of flares on helium balloons certainly seems possible. But I was thinking about pulling over to watch them - it was THAT unusual."
No crop circles reported yet, but I'm thinking of making a tin foil helmet just in case.
