Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.
Date: 1968 - 1969
Brian Vike’s Note: I telephoned the
lady who filed this report to me and we had a long and very nice conversation.
She went onto tell me about a Black Triangle sighting she and her husband were
witness to. This huge craft flew slowly over the road and above their
vehicle.
Other people pulled their cars
over and stopped on the road to watch this same craft. The lady, who's name is
Judy also did a telephone interview with me for the radio show I host and this
will be aired this coming Sunday, April 15, 2007.
So tune in, a very interesting
report. Also I would like to make a request that if anyone knows of the a
person holding these photos, or anyone who knows anything about this sighting
would they please contact me here at brian_vike@telus.net
Hi, I don't know why I have ever
reported this before, probably because I am not in touch with the student
involved nor do I have the pictures. This happened in a community college
English course where I was trying (as we teachers do) to drum up some interest
in anything to a group of listless students. So, I started talking about
UFO's.
I saw several boys in the back row
poking one of their group and saying "tell her." So, I asked him and
after some coaxing he told this amazing story: His hobby was photography and
he had a number of cameras.
On this occasion he and some buddies
had gone to visit his sister at her college near Wilkes Barre, Pa. (Having
grown up in the Scranton area, I was familiar with the locale.) As they
were fooling around in the nearby woods they came upon a landed
flying saucer. As he had two cameras with him, one of which had a
telephoto lens, he started taking pictures. Several of the other fellows
started throwing rocks at it. The rocks made a "ping" when they
hit.
They then became frightened and ran
off. When he came home he sent the pictures off to Eastman Kodak to be
processed. These were color photos which he did not have the equipment to
process. Eastman Kodak returned on two or three of the shots with a letter
explaining that such photos were routinely confiscated and if he wished further
information he should contact the Dept. of Defense. (His sister did so
but got no response.)
Anyway, I asked if I could see the
pictures. He seemed reluctant, but he brought them in. WOW.
The pictures showed very clearly an oval shaped "craft apparently of
polished aluminum with a greenish haze around it.
I have never to this day seen any
pictures as clear cut or as close as this was. The student told me that
the haze was actually blue to the sight but came out as green. He
took the pictures home. When several other teachers expressed interest, I
asked him if he could bring them in again.
He was obviously so uncomfortable
that I apologized and dropped the subject. Unfortunately he dropped out of the
class. I hope this incident was not the cause. I don't know whether
this is of any interest or not, but I can assure you that when I see the
currently available pictures of UFOs I have to laugh. This was the
real thing. (Retired English Professor, Suffolk Community College,

Additional Information:
Hi and thanks for your
interest. I would be happy to make a drawing but being an old lady (76)
my knowledge of computer technology is elementary. I don't know how to
send a picture, but the pictures were beautiful.
The "craft" was a
slightly elongated egg or oval shape. The metallic surface, like polished
aluminum or steel, was quite lovely. And the greenish haze that surrounded
it was breathtaking. I do not recall any markings or detail. It was
apparently resting on the ground, or very close to it. Yes, I would be
glad to talk to you about the sighting or any other info I might have.
I regret that I didn't report this
at the time, but in that time period there really weren't too many
serious UFO students. If you are interested, my husband and I drove
directly under one of the famous Hudson Valley craft that was written up by
Hynek.
My husband had a private pilot's
license (and had been in the Naval Air Corps) and we can assure anyone that
this was no extra-light plane. I have followed the UFO scene
over the years but just as an observer not as an active participant and
certainly not as a groupie. Anyway, thanks for your kind interest and yes, I'd
be happy to contribute whatever I can. Regards.
Thank you to Judy for the very
interesting report and also for taking the time to speak to me on the
telephone.
