Three years ago tonight, Head in the Clouds Amherst was the first to report news of multiple UFO sightings across Amherst in the early evening. We followed that initial report with several subsequent updates. To this day, those UFO-related reports remain our most popular posts, with some 20,000 viewers having checked them out since 2013.
Click here to read our first report on the matter.
I read this article yesterday (the one by Rebecca Everett) for the first time and my jaw dropped. I am SO happy it was posted!!! I live in Conway, MA, and on 1/5/16, I had an identical experience to what the people saw in Amherst, with a diamond shaped vessel that SLOWLY went over our house, flying VERY low. My husband and I both saw it. I called the Chicopee and Westfield Airforce bases the following morning, which both denied having any unmanned drones. The only reason I called them was because it looked like 2 people could ride in it, or either be an unmanned drone- the size of 2 cars or a small plane. It was around 8:45 at night, and I was watching the fish in our newly set up tank next to our sliding glass doors. My son was sitting in my lap, and I happened to look out the large window of the door and saw lights coming towards our house through the trees. I immediately said "Hey, there's a plane that's about to fly over our house!" I picked up my son (as he loves planes) and opened the door. No sound of a plane. I put him down in the chair, stepped out on our porch, and called my husband over. The thing flew so low, so quietly, right over our garage and mudroom. It had four white lights and was in a diamond shape. It was dark out, but it appeared to have a slightly rounded curve on it's belly that went from one wing to the other from the shadows cast on itself from the lights on it's wings and nose. It happened so slowly, but so fast- I wish I had taken a video or photos of it with my phone! None of my neighbors saw it unfortunately. I had to file a report with the Chief of Police in Conway after discussing the matter with the Air Force base in Chicopee about inquiring with my drone question, which they both denied. My husband thinks they are lying. My neighbors think it's a UFO, and I honestly am just so baffled and obsessed now at finding out what the hell it is/was!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting about this. That you saw it in Conway definitely adds to the picture. And it sounds so similar to all the other reports that it must be related. Either UFOs are coming to visit at the same general time of year, or we are indeed seeing some kind of unmanned drone.
DeleteAt the time, aside from Rebecca's article, the press paid scant attention. With so many corroborating eye witnesses, it seems clear it had to be something, but I learned that small press outlets these days have scant resources for investigative reporting. A few weeks after these sightings, someone did a guest opinion piece in the Amherst Bulletin which, in an archly patronizing tone, wrote this all off as some kind of mass hallucination (clearly, the writer opined, we were all seeing a C-5 cargo plane). And then, nothing more was said about it.
I'd be very interested to know if others observed your craft, and to what extent this has happened to others at other times.
I would strongly encourage you to reach out to Rebecca Everett (assuming she's still there), and let her know that you saw this too. Fascinating!
