Miifi^llfli'iSlt^iiil' ' ' I)JTHE WAVE OF "WING" REPORTS: MORE ON THE "BOOMERANG": "AS LARGE AS TWO FOOTBALL FIELDSR. Perry CollinsFSR reader Bob Collins of Bridgeport, Connecticut, is, as tie says, a man who "grew up in the Air Force and now works as an aerospace engineer". What he has to tell us will be seen to corroborate fully all that we learned from the two articles on the great "Boomerang" craft, by Messrs Imbrogno, Lesnick and Clark, which we published In FSR Volume 30, No. 3, last February. EDITORFrom March of 1983 to the present (Nov. '85) a UFO wave of unprecendented duration and consistency has enveloped significant areas of the eastern United States. It has been centered over New York and Connecticut and involves a UFO repeatedly reported as "larger than a football field", and by one witness as "about two football fields". This UFO has flown low over populated areas numerous times for more than two years. It has shown variable lighting but most often is reported as a huge "wing" or "boomer-ang"-shaped array of lights, switched on and off, seemingly to attract attention. There has also been related activity, such as flights of aircraft in various formations, displaying non-regulation lights and reports of federal agency interest. This activity has not been mentioned to any great degree by the national media. Local newspapers and independent radio and television broadcasts have presented a great deal of information, but in a scattered fashion. This article will present a summation of the wave and of investigations into its nature.First reportsThe wave had its beginnings in March of 1983. On March 17 th, residents of Kent, N.Y. and motorists on the nearby 1-84 highway reported a large UFO hovering and moving slowly over the area. From that date to the present, there have been reports of a huge, dark, metallic object, displaying glowing lights and flying very low over populated regions. The lights have most often been described as forming a large open "V" or "boomerang". In some cases the lights have changed position, rapidly forming such configurations as a "horseshoe", "cross", straight line, and a large circle. Often the configuration changes happened while the object hovered, finally coming back to the "V" shape before the object accelerated rapidly away.The press headlinesOne week after the 17th, on March 24th, the UFO was seen again.
