Driving East on the old Montauks highway by my nephew we saw a very bright light in the Southeast. Although I am very familiar with the road and know that the ocean is on my right, for some reason I thought it was a light at the top of the tower. Suddenly I remembered that there were no towers in the ocean. It was at this point that the light became brighter. 

In a few minutes, the light was brighter than anything I'd ever seen. As it grew brighter, the impression of an approaching plane was created. My nephew kept asking me what it could be, and I said it must be a plane. When it got very close, we realized it was moving too slowly to be an airplane, so I told it it had to be a helicopter. 

When we reached the intersection of the Montauk highway and the old Montauk highway, my nephew leaned out of the window to look up and see the object that was about to fly over us. 

He told me:

"It's not a helicopter. You'd better stop and take a look at this." 

I stopped the car and turned off the engine. Looking up, I saw a metal object slowly fly overhead at an altitude of about 200-400 feet (60-120 m).

There were no wings, no rotors, no visible engines, no sound. He held the Gong to the Northwest, and we decided to follow him. We went about a couple of miles North of the Montauk highway. We found the object hovering just above the power lines and about 1/4 mile ahead, and I parked the car. The object was very clearly visible in the moonlight. 

When I flashed the yellow marker lights, it flashed yellow lights. When I flashed my lights, the taillights flashed. In fact, I was hoping to be "kidnapped" and sent into space.

We lost sight of it because we thought we saw an orange light among a group of trees on a small island in a small lake. We went to the lake and looked, but nothing happened. After sitting there for a while, there was a kind of hissing sound, similar to the sound of engines on U2. All the dry wild grass was trembling. No objects were visible at the time, and we were mostly in a large open space with a few homes in the area and no industrial buildings. Some time later, we saw very bright stars overhead. Brighter Than Venus.

The star grew brighter and brighter until a bright blue ray of light came out of it, and then it darkened. We observed what looked like a jet contrail, but this one continued to sink closer and larger. Eventually, when the trail was several thousand feet high, it took the shape of a whale. By this time, 4 hours had passed. Nothing happened, we went to get food.

Throughout the experience, it seemed to me that someone was in contact with me. I've never had such a strong feeling before. A few weeks later, I had the same feeling again when killer whales appeared off the coast. I felt like the same someone. I always knew when the whales would appear, and one of them would soon surface if I kept looking.

Because of this feeling, I came to the conclusion that the UFO was occupied by people who had long since left Earth. I have no idea what it really was, but in my opinion it would be just as impressive if it was created here on Earth by people who have mastered anti-gravity traction, as if it came from another world.

The object had a flat, smooth bottom, and the height of the top was about the same height as the width of the bottom. It was not a saucer, but rather an inverted cone, but not pointed at the top. The sides are quite steep, the front and back were some forms from the bottom up. It looked like bare aluminum, like an unpainted airplane. I don't remember any Windows or openings.

The winter population of Montauk in those days was probably several thousand or less. Few will come out at this hour. I often wondered why no one reported it, but we didn't report it either. There's a top-secret military base a few miles to the West. It seemed like no one ever knew what was going on there, but you could see a big rotating radar-type thing. People thought it was part of NORAD, but I don't think they really knew.

The next day we returned to this place in the afternoon and were very surprised to see that the lake is a grass field. The night before, we didn't go near the orange light because it looked like water to us. There is only a grassy field with a house in the middle.

I think that those who were engaged in this craft, played with our thoughts. I think they noticed when I overcame the first illusion and noticed that there was no tower in the ocean. They seemed interested in us. I can't imagine what visitors from another planet would be so interested in this particular place. If this was some secret military anti-gravity ship, why would they fly directly over the city?

Original news

Riding east on old montauk highway with my nephew we saw a very bright light to the south east. Although I am very familiar with the road and know the ocean is to my right, for some reason I thought it was a light on top of a tower. Suddenly I remembered that there are no towers in the ocean. At that exact instant the light began to grow brighter. After a few minutes the light was clearly brighter than anything I had ever seen. As it got brighter it gave the impression of an aircraft moving closer. My nephew kept asking me what it could be and I said it has to be an airplane. As it got very close we realized it was moving too slow to be an airplane so I told him it has to be a helicopter. As we reach the intersection of montauk highway and old montauk highway my nephew leaned out the window to look up and see the object about to pass overhead. He told me “That is no helicopter. You better stop and get a look at this.” I stopped the car and shut the engine. Looking up I saw a metallic object pass slowly overhead at perhaps 200-400 feet.

There were no wings or rotors, no visible engines, and absolutely no sound. It kept gong to the northwest and we decided to follow. We followed perhaps a couple of miles to an area just north of montauk highway. We found the object hovering just above power lines and about 1/4 mile ahead and I parked the car. The object was very visible in the moonlight. When I flashed my amber parking lights at it, it flashed back amber lights. When I flashed my headlights it flashed back headlights. I was actually hoping to be “abducted” and taken for a ride in space. We lost sight of it because we thought we saw an orange light amid a clump of trees on a small island in a small lake. We moved close to the lake and watched but nothing happened. After siting there for some time there started a kind of hissing sound, similar to the engines on a U2. All of the dry wild grass was vibrating. No object was visible at that time and we were in mostly wide open space with only a few houses in the area, and no industrial buildings. Some time later we observed a very bright stars overhead. Brighter than Venus.

The star grew brighter and brighter until a brilliant blue beam of light came out of it, then it went dark. We observed what looked like a jet contrail but this one kept sinking closer and getting larger. Eventually, when the trail appeared to be at a few thousand feet altitude it had morphed into the shape of a whale. By this time 4 hours had passed. With nothing happening we left to get some food.

Throughout the experience I felt as if someone was contacting my mind. I had never had such a strong feeling before. I did have this same exact feeling again weeks later when killer whales appeared off the coast. It felt like the same someone. I always knew when the whales were about and one would surface before long if I kept looking.

Because of this feeling I came to feel that the UFO was occupied by people who left the earth long ago. I have no idea what it really was, but it’s almost as spectacular, in my mind, if it was produced here on earth by humans having mastered anti gravity propulsion as it would be if it came from another world.

The object had a flat, smooth bottom and the top was about as high as the bottom was wide. It was not like a saucer, more of an inverted cone, but not pointy on top. The sides sloped up rather steeply and there were some shapes from bottom to top in front and back. The look was as if bare aluminum like an unpainted airplane. I do not recall any windows or openings.

The winter population of Montauk was perhaps a few thousand or less in those days. Few would be out at that hour. I often wondered why no one reported it, but we did not report it either. There is some sort of top secret military base a few miles west. No one ever seemed to know what went on there but you could see a large rotating radar type thing. People assumed it was part of NORAD, but I don’t think they really knew.

The next day we returned to the sight during daylight and were very surprised to see that the lake was a grass field. The night before we did not go closer to the orange light because it looked like water to us. There is only a grassy field with a house in the middle.

I think whoever was in that craft was playing with our minds. I think they took notice when I overcame the first illusion, and noted that there is no tower in the ocean. They seemed curious about us. I can’t imagine what visitors from another planet would be so interested in that particular site. If it was some sort of secret military anti gravity craft why would they fly it right over a town?

Whatever it was that I saw, it definitely did exist.
