No Conventional Aircraft in the Area -
excerpt from Cosmic Reality by N.L. Hopkins
A few weeks after returning to school, the most spectacular sighting happened. It was dusk and we had just returned from dinner. We were in Barbara’s dormitory room, located on the fourth floor. There were again five witnesses. One was looking out the window and said, “Star light, star bright, first star I see to night. What the hell is that?”
We joined her at the window and looked at the large, diamond light source sitting in the darkening sky. Someone suggested it was helicopter and that would fit the picture.
The light began turning and then moving toward us. It was to fly slowly between our dormitory and the dinning hall, directly between two towers stretching to 22-floors. It was at the fifteenth floor height, because people on that floor were on balconies of both towers when it silently flew by. They said they could have reached out to touch it, if they could have moved.
It was colored the blue you see on some guns. It had short wings jutting out of the tubular body, which appeared to have small windows along the sides. While not hearing anything, I kind of sensed a humming.
One aspect to these sightings is the failure of myself and those who were sharing the event to talk about the happening. I do not remember us sitting around talking about what we had seen. Maybe we did, but I do not remember it.
A couple of weeks later, Barbara came to show me a clipping from the Buffalo paper, her boyfriend had sent with his latest letter. While we had seen and heard nothing in Massachusetts, the UFO sighting had made the front page of the Buffalo, New York newspaper.
The article explained, how over 600 students had seen an unidentified flying object flying over the University of Massachusetts. Turns out the University was under radar surveillance from Westover Air Force Base, in nearby Springfield. According to the Buffalo paper, the Air Force said, “There was no conventional aircraft in the area at the time of the University sightings.” The sighting was an official “unidentified flying object event”.
