   Unfortunatly, being one of the original investigators when the UFO “hysteria” began in New York, the whole story can be seen from a different viewpoint than what has been reported. Sometimes for reasons that should be left unjudged, objects or experiences that people think they are experiencing can be interpreted to be that person’s reality or judgement skill. There are many other real stories behind the Nightsiege of New York. Many stories can be interpreted in ways to meet ones own goal, or maybe provide the need for that fifteen minutes of fame. People maybe saw what they think they saw. As for one of the original investigators, who also saw these objects and found them identifiable, and who also was one of the original writers and researchers I find now I that I have grown up, I am too old for fairy tales.

   I have bought this book as a fan of the intersection between reality and fantasy. As a resident local to the citings with the knowledge of what really happened, I am fascinated by the ability of a few creative people to create such a legend. The UFOs were after dark observations of a small group of small planes (not ultralights) who combined flight patterns and light patterns to look like possible UFOs. They succeeded, although their hands were slapped lightly when it was all uncovered because the flying did break some FAA rules. So I’m looking forward to the read, good or bad it is human legend. It made the area a classic site for UFO sitings.

   The experiential information described in the book is interesting enough but gets rather tiring about half way through as witnesses describe more of the same lights proceeding southwest or northeast, moving up and down, blinking, etc, etc. If you’re someone who has long gotten over the notion that THERE ARE UFO’s then this reading will seem like one, long, run-on report from numerous witness about the strange lights and craft they observed in the mostly night skies of northern New York state. This book is synonymous and a good companion to “Phoenix Lights” where onlookers marvel at the appearance of symetrical arrangements of mysterious lights in the night sky. Some of the sightings are quite compelling but, once again: Yeah, and ???????
