OMG … I am
not a fan … do not know if they are real… but they really spook me out … so
what are the odds … I would randomly move into a rental where they landed and
not even know this fact, until the locals
told me about the sightings ??? I guess with me they are very good odds! Because
that is exactly what happen to me …
First let me
bring you back to the time of the UFO sightings, I was in high school and it
was the talk of the town and in the high school I attended and reported on in
the news … Now it was not bad enough I lived in a house at the time, I thought was
haunted… now I had to worry about UFO’s … My thoughts at the time, good gravy with my luck, those UFO’s are going
to do a fly over the haunted house I live in! So now I was spooked by my house
and spooked to go outside in fear of a UFO! Talk about needing a safe space… I
had none!
Below are a couple
of news clippings from the time of the UFO sightings… they start like this UFOs Over
The Wanaque
Reservoir:
The Roswell of the Ramapo’s January 11, 1966 started like any other mid-winter
day in the small suburban town of Wanaque, NJ.
The air was clear and cold, kids were enjoying the holiday vacation from
school, and residents of the Passaic County borough went about ….
So irony of
ironies many decades later I was in need of a rental … I like out of the way
places where I can write and enjoy nature … I found the perfect spot in a place
called Wanaque (the town’s name did not register with me, at the time of the
rental as being a place of UFO’s) … the rental was really cute, acreage and
place to write and chill out … not many families in the area, but very friendly
people… I could take long walks on the back of the property and it overlooked
the Wanaque Reservoir, stunningly beautiful … there was an area on the property
though that for some reason, seemed “magical” for a lack of better words… there
were lots of cactus (or wait that is cacti) such (not native to the area) and the animals
exceptional friendly … somehow the moonlight at this rental seemed more intense
as well … again for lack of better words on some level the rental seemed like the Scottish village of Brigadoon
a magical little place not on a map … Loved it there!!!! That is until a local
man who lived in the area for over 50 years told me the stories of the UFO’s in
the area and on the property … instantly I remembered the story from my high
school days … the place I was terrorized of I was now living on!!! OMG … so I collected UFO stories from the
locals on what they saw … and heard about the hundreds of people who would come
and watch the UFO’s … and I have to say ... it was kind of cool to be ground zero for a UFO landing party!
