Hudson Valley Boomerang Wave 1982-1986

From 1982 to 1986, New York's Hudson Valley — encompassing Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties — became the site of the most geographically concentrated mass UAP wave in US history. Over 5,000 witnesses reported encounters with a massive V-shaped or boomerang-shaped craft bearing white lights at its leading edges. The object repeatedly appeared at night, hovering silently over highways, residential neighborhoods, and twice over Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant. Indian Point security personnel submitted formal incident reports on multiple occasions. FAA's Albany Air Route Traffic Control Center was contacted by multiple concerned pilots and airport observers. Police in multiple jurisdictions received calls during sightings but were unable to intercept the craft. The Hynek Center for UFO Studies dispatched investigators, and J. Allen Hynek himself visited the area before his death in 1986. The wave remains the most documented urban low-altitude multi-year UAP phenomenon in northeast US history.
