A post by Leon Thompson <Ufonetwork@aol.com> and containing what
purports to be a recent Press Release has been causing ripples on
some Lists and news.groups for the past 24 hours.
When a copy arrived here yesterday (Monday) morning it rang
a bell. The LIUFON Press Release, I recalled, was at least
five years old.
I've tried to track down the original in the UpDates Archives in
Toronto but have only been able to go back as far as January,
1994.
There's also an earlier version that dates back to 28 Jun 93
from titan@sys6626.bison.mb.ca (Titanium Knight). But the URL
doesn't appear to be functioning.
It seems that Leon Thompson, for whatever the reason, has not
been precise in his attribution and has caused some confusion:
>Long Island UFO Network now has proof. Undeniable evidence of
>UFOs and the LI UFO Crash of 1992. This is the LIUFON First
>Press Release on there proof. The date this was releases was
>yesterday July 2.
Thompson's post seems to have been lifted from:

Hi Jack,
Answering msg from Jack Mathias to Mike Christol (on Saturday
January 15 1994):
----------------------------------------------------------------
LONG ISLAND U.F.O. NETWORK, INC.
A Non-Profit Research Organization
P.O. BOX 1692
Riverhead, New York 11901
HOTLINE: (516) 286-3212
*** PRESS RELEASE *** PRESS RELEASE *** PRESS RELEASE ***
IMMEDITATE COPY !!!
The Long Island U.F.O. Network, a five year old non-profit
organization which investigates U.F.O. phenomena, announces to the
metropolitan, national and international press community that it has
evidence that on November 24, 1992 at 7:12 P.M. an alien spacecraft
crashed near the area of South Haven Park in Suffolk County near the
residential communities of Shirley and Yaphank, Long Island, New York.
The event which has been under continuous investigation for
six months by the investigative division of the Long Island U.F.O.
Network was first reported to LIUFON"s U.F.O. Hotline on December 13,
1992 by a Mr. W..... K...... of Mastic Beach, Long Island who
witnessed the alien craft to impact in woods near South Haven Park
along Gerard Road which borders the Western edge of the park. (I have
withheld the name of the witness at this time, although John Ford
included it. If events warrent it, I may release his name at a later
date. MC.)
Mr. K...... reported that he was driving East bound on Sunrise
Highway while returning home from work around 7:00 P.M. that evening
when he noticed to the South of the highway over trees which separates
Sunrise from Montauk Highway an unusual object which he described as
tubular in shape with two large bright blue lights on each end with a
bright white light in its center whose structure was composed of a
dull metallic grey texture, to immediately execute a right angle turn
and tumble end over end into woods to the North side of the highway.
Mr. K...... pulled over to the right shoulder and exited his vehicle
in time to see the object impact to the North West. Upon impact, the
object emitted a powerful white beam of light which shot up into the
sky and turned the night sky into daylight. As several other
motorists joined him, Mr K...... reported the light to subside into an
amber glow which indicated a fire in progress in the wooded area.
Mr. K...... proceeded to leave the area convinced he had seen a
UFO crash. As he neared the exit for William Floyd Parkway (exit 56) he
reported observing a formation of four large military helicopters on a
course from the South East headed for the impact zone over South Haven
Park; these helicopters which were painted black with no visible
markings arrived within minutes of the object's crash. Mr. K......
reported that there was a military roadblock on William Floyd parkway
with civilian traffic being detoured from proceeding West onto Sunrise
Highway. He noticed that the military personnel were dressed in black
jump suits and the vehicles showed no markings. The side streets of
Beatrice, Dawn and Sunset were blocked by additional military
personnel. At one point five New York State Police cars were turned
back from entering the area (even though the State Police at the West
Hampton Barracks deny this event, a confidential source from that unit
has convirmed the story).
