    MORE RESIDENTS REPORT SEEING UFO

    By Jennifer Shaffer

    DAMASCUS -- Several area residents have come forth with
    additional information pertaining to the reported sightings of
    unidentified flying objects (UFO) over the weekend of May 20 and
    21. Fred Weigelt, a retired game protector, and eight fellow
    game protectors, were camping Saturday evening, May 20, in Long
    Eddy. The members of the group reportedly saw three lights, in
    the form of a triangle, high in the sky near Pennsylvania Ridge.
    The lights were reddish-orange in color and did not blink. Also
    present were two steady red lights, each a football field apart
    in distance. No blinking lights or strobe lights -- the type
    found on standard aircraft -- could be seen.
    The object did not emit any sounds, according to the group,
    until it started to move slowly away at an angle. It then
    emitted a low noise, much like the sound of a large electric
    generator. "It was definitely not a combustion engine," said
    Weigelt.
    According to Weigelt, the group saw the object, or at least
    the lights, at 10:32 p.m. "It was too dark out to discern the
    complete shape of the object. We couldn't see an outline or get
    any perception of depth. but, from the positions of the lights,
    it appeared to be bigger in size than any plane or derigible I've
    ever seen," he said.
    For many years prior to his retirement, Weigelt was the
    District Game Protector for northern Wayne County. As a trained
    observer for over 34 years, Weigelt believes he has the
    experience necessary to be able to distinguish the difference
    between what often appears to be alien intervention and what is
    really easily-explainable natural phenomena. But this time, he
    was amazed at what he and the members of the group saw. "Some of
    the guys outside the tarp called to the rest of us when they saw
    the lights," he said. "When we got where we could see them, I
    didn't know what to think. For years, anytime someone mentioned
    UFOs, I thought they were crazy, but this I can't explain."
