As New York and the entire northeast of the United States, quickly followed by southern states in Canada, were plunged into darkness in November 1965, it would prove to be the first of many mysterious “blackouts” that would stretch into the following year. The one thing that appeared to connect these massive power failures was the appearance of strange objects in the area. They would usually hover over, or near power plants. While authorities, as you might expect, were quick to dispel any notion of alien interest in the Earth’s energy supplies, many other people would push for further study.
60s Blackout.
What’s more, many people believe some would have much to lose from the admission of UFOs and their alternative...

I would like to report what I observe during the 1065 blackout in New England we live in Grafton Mass border line to Milbury. We were outside passing a football I was facing south west, when I passed the ball I spotted at lease nine craft in formation 3. 3. 3. At super high speed! I will never forget ! They continue out of sight. At time I never talked about it. It still bothers me!
Time Magazine posted a photo of a UFO above the New York Skyline right after the blackout began. They titled their picture “could this be a UFO”?
I have followed the study of ufo’s for many years and have uncovered a time line between fact and firtion concerning the cover up on ufo’s .I need some one whom is interested in hearing my ideas on the subject of ufo cover up.
Yes Gregory Scales me as well and have decided to approach the ET phenomenon with a more realistic scenario that they are us from a future way beyond and the Alien’s robots we since our bodies cannot travel throughout space but hey thats my conclusion .
The fact that there have been thousands of sightings really makes it implausible that they’re aliens from outer space. Doesn’t it make so much more sense if the explanation is that they’re already from Earth but make themselves visible?
