| Description | In late Spring of 1989, around 7-9 PM in Utica, NY, near Adirondack Ridge Mobile home community, the witness and two friends observed a large, silent, dark craft hovering approximately 20-30 feet overhead. The craft had LED-like track lights and was coasting noiselessly at tree-top level. The sighting lasted less than 30 seconds and evoked intense fear in the witnesses. The incident occurred close to Griffiss Air Force base, and the witness later considered whether the sighting was related to the Hudson Valley UFO incidents of 1989 or a top-secret military craft. |
