On today's episode, we discuss a not-so-well-known mass UFO sighting in 1966 New Jersey. For 2 hours on January 11, no less than 50 people in the town of Wanaque watched as a strange craft invaded their skies. This object would be seen by many credible witnesses including: Mayor Harry T. Wolfe and his son Billy Councilmen Warren Hagstrom, Arthur Barton and John Shuttle Civil Defense Administrators Bentley Spencer and Richard Vrooman Chief of Police Floyd Elson Officer George Dyckman Patrolman Joe Cisco Sgt. Bobby Gordon (Pompton Lakes Police) Sgts. Ben Thompson and David Sisco Patrolmen Edward Nestor and Jack Wardlaw Reservoir Police & Personnel George Destito, Charles Theodora, Fred Steines The Mother Superior of a local convent During the duration of the sighting, the object would periodically shoot large beams of light from a porthole, down towards the ice near the Wanaque Dam and the town's reservoir and water resource facilities. The beams would then create holes in the ice as if they were burning through the freeze of winter with precision and ease! In Weird News, we discuss whether UFO's are a threat to national security.
