Bryan) Subject: Brookhaven Crash Message-ID: <rabryanCzsJ9G.CzL@netcom.com> The following account was excerpted from a book entitled "The Rainbow Conspiracy" by Brad and Sherry Hansen Steiger, ISBN 0-7860-0065-1. I have no other knowledge of this event, so please don't ask me about it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- According to members of the Long Island UFO Network (LIUFON), a nonprofit research organization, they have 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 close to the residential communities of Shirley and Yaphank, Long Island, New York. The principal witness, a Mr. Walter Knowles of Mastic Beach, said that he saw the object fall to Earth in a wooded area near South Haven Park along Gerard Road, which borders the western edge of the park. According to a LIUFON press release, Knowles was driving east on Sunrise highway while returning home from work around 7:00 p.m. when he noticed an unusual aerial object to the south of the highway over the stand of trees that separates Sunrise from Montauk highway. He described the UFO as tubular in shape with two large bright blue lights on each end with a brilliant light in its center. The general color of the object appeared to be a dull, metallic gray. As Knowles watched the object, it executed a right-angle turn and began to tumble end over end on the north side of the highway. He pulled his vehicle over to the right shoulder and got out of the automobile in time to see object crash to the northwest. Upon impact, Knowles stated, the object emitted a powerful beam of white light, which shot into the night sky. Later, during the course of their research, LIUFON would learn that the light from the crashed object was seen by residents in the area as far north as Ridge and as far west as Bald Hill in Coram. Several other motorists joined Knowles at the side of the road, and they all watched as the light subsided into an amber glow- which, in Knowles's opinion, indicated a fire in progress in the wooded area. Convinced that he had witnessed the crash of a UFO, Knowles decided to leave the area and continue his drive home. As he was nearing the exit for William Floyd Parkway, he observed a formation of four large, black, military-type helicopters with no visible markings arriving on the crash scene. A short time later, after he had arrived at his home, Knowles became perplexed when he learned that there was no news coverage of any type of crash - conventional aircraft or UFO - in the area. Knowles asked his brother-in-law to return with him to the area where he had witnessed the tubular-shaped UFO tumbling into the woods. When they arrived on the scene about twenty-five minutes later, a military roadblock on William Floyd Parkway was detouring traffic west on Sunrise Highway. The military personnel conducting the roadblock were dressed in black jump suits and their vehicles bore no identifying markings. While Knowles and his brother-in-law were present on the scene, they saw five New York State Police cars being turned back by the black-suited military personnel. Although the State Police at West Hampton Barracks later denied Knowles account, a confidential source from that unit confirmed the incident to a LIUFON investigator. Finding the streets of Beatrice, Dawn and Sunset also blocked by military personnel dressed in black jump suits, Knowles found that he was still able to travel west on Victory Boulevard, and he and his brother-in-law drove up Gerard Road to the second bend in the road where he could see a large fire in progress about 300 yards back in the woods. He told investigators from LIUFON that there was a strong airborne odor similar to that of burnt insulation and that he could see flames dancing near the top of trees in the park. LIUFON researchers also received a report from a second eyewitness, a motorist from Brookhaven Hamlet, who sighted an unconventional aircraft while traveling eastbound on Sunrise at around 7:15 p.m. He did not observe the object crash into the park, but he did spot an unusual object in the sky around the time of the reported UFO's fiery touchdown in South Haven Park. Stubbornly investigating this remarkable UFO crash report since December 1992 when they were first contacted by Walter Knowles, the Long Island UFO Network (P.O. Box 1692, Riverhead, NY 11901), gather such information as the following: + All federal, state and local agencies, including fire departments would have been involved in the incident- have denied officially that such an event ever occurred. + However, on December 20, 1992, LIUFON investigators retrieved fire department equipment from the main fire road in the park that has been identified as being similar to equipment used by Brookhaven Hamlet Fire Department. Subsequently, LIUFON received confirmation from a Brookhaven Hamlet Fire Department source that their unit was called to the park that night to put out fires caused by something that fell out of the sky. The anonymous source added that fire department personnel were prohibited by federal government orders from speaking about the incident. + Suffolk County Police sounded a county-wide alert on the night of November 29, 1992, that a UFO had crashed near William Floyd Parkway and all units were to use land lines to receive instructions for emergency mobilization. + The park itself was closed for several days after the UFO crash, and area residents reported Suffolk police manning roadblocks near the park entrance. At first county officials denied the allegations that the park had been closed, but later informed the editor of the South Shore Press in Mastic Beach that the park had been closed to the general public because of the duck hunting season. + Numerous area residents reported having heard the object crash on that November night. Others observed the black helicopters hovering over the area for hours. + A great number of area residents have reported strange electrical problems that seem to stem from the events of that same November evening. Cable television and home appliances burned out; car batteries suddenly failed; the telephone system malfunctioned; light bulbs burned out with annoying frequency. All of these phenomena, LIUFON researchers suggest, could be the result of a massive electromagnetic pulse effect having occurred in the area. + LIUFON investigators discovered tow areas of flattened and broken trees along Gerard Road. One area over 100 yards long displayed signs of broken and splintered trees. Another spot 200 yards north gave evidence of broken trees and a recent fire. Trees in the second area gave signs of holding a strong magnetic field after LIUFON researchers tested them with a magnetometer. + A number of area residents reported to LIUFON that they encountered the same military and police roadblocks that Walter Knowles confronted on the night in question. + Over seven municipal fire departments responded that night to answer the call to control fires set by the crash of the UFO. In addition, elements of the Brookhaven National Laboratories Fire Department and Emergency Response Team were dispatched to the location since they comprised the only unit on Long Island with the expertise to control a radiological fire. In June 1993 LIUFON Chairman John Ford received a package in his home mailbox from an anonymous source. The package contained a videotape from a Defense Department systems analyst, who claimed to be a resident of Rocky Point, New York. The video appears to show the recovery of the wreckage of a UFO from an area north of South Haven Park. The tape also contains scenes of what would seem to be bodies and body parts suggestive of belonging to humanoid alien beings. A complete examination of the tape under the auspices of Preston Nichols and Alan Green, both members of LIUFON, has produced a video enhancement and stop-frame analysis of the tape, which further substantiates the suggestion that the bodies appear to be those of aliens, rather than humans. The government analyst, who has since contacted LIUFON and identified himself, told Ford that the tape was confiscated from fire department personnel on the scene the night of November 29, 1992. According to additional information received by LIUFON researchers, the wreckage of the UFO is being stored and studied at Brookhaven National Laboratories. <<<>>>
