The Great UFO Wave:
October, 1973

Westerlo, N.Y.
Aug. 12, 1973

At 10:00 P.M. a Main St. resident saw UFOs from his home. He said the big lights were too close together to be an airplane. They were flying in a straight line 2 1/2 to 3 miles south of his house. Then all of a sudden they reversed their direction and went the other way. He said an airplane couldn't move this quick.
