The Poughkeepsie Boomerang UFO is either the result of misguided ravings or, and perhaps more likely, one of the most effective cover-ups of a UFO sighting on record. An incident alleged to have happened over three decades ago in an area of New York in the summer of 1985 had several witnesses and is still debated today. What made the incident even more intriguing was it happened right over the offices of the local Poughkeepsie Journal newspaper offices. Given that photographs had already been captured, journalists couldn’t believe their luck when the“story of the century” literally landed right in their lap. They couldn’t believe it even more when they were told, under no circumstance were they to write accounts or print p...

I saw this object near Wapingers Falls in 1985! Just as described in this article! The no sound for such a low, large object was the most bizarre element of the whole experience.
It Didn’t “Fly Away”, It “Erased Itself!”
Compare that statement with this from “Beyond Einstein: non-local physics” , page 21, 22:
Example: there are two kinds of position and two kinds of velocity. Remember those two terms in the non-local form of gamma? We are using only one of them for propulsion—the spatial velocity one that depends on Newtonian mechanics. The other possibility, that of non-local motion, has been left unexplored. Using that, an aircraft could move from one position in the sky to another without traversing the intervening space. It would appear at one location, then disappear, then re-appear at another location. It could move at extremely high speeds without generating a sonic boom. It would use “field propulsion” based on the non-local characteristics of electric and magnetic fields. It would be completely self-contained because there is no action/reaction (exhaust) as in conventional propulsion (in this case, the reaction forces are radial, and cancel out within the structure of the aircraft, making the preferred shape one of something with radial symmetry, like a saucer or cigar). . . .
Control of gravity and control of locality, would give us the ability to travel to the stars without traversing the intervening space. It would give us new forms of energy, and new ways of shaping our world, as well as many other astonishing things. But, clearly, there is a lot of work to do before we get there. At a minimum the currently “reigning paradigm” in physics must change and include things that are Beyond Einstein.
I witnessed this when I was a child and it, along with field research in Pine Bush, formed the foundation for my novel Artificial Gods.
The Hudson Valley has played host to a curious amount of Fortean phenomena.
I wrote about my experience with a very similar object in Ohio – August 1974 – “Encounter At Ascot Park” .. posted on my FB wall.
It was a group of private pilots. FAA found them and were told to knock it off.
Not New Jersey. It was New York. Both Poughkeepsie and West Islip are in New York.
Thanks for the heads up. This was an error. It has been repaired now!
