UFO CRASH AT SOUTHAVEN PARK?
by Robert Sands
A local investigative group that has been researching accounts of
unidentified objects on Long Island for the past five years released a report
(with photos and a video tape) yeaterday that claims an alien space craft
crashed into a remote area of Southaven Park in Shirley just before
Thanksgiving last year.
The incident happened just after 7:00 P.M. on the night of November 24,
according to John Ford, chairman of the Long Island U.F.O. Network, who said
that it has taken his group six months to do a thorough investigation.
It was just recently, though, that his group was able to acquire the video and
the photos. "We knew that something crashed into the park that night and we
have, bit by bit," said Ford, "been able to finally put the picture
together."
Several motorists who were traveling along Sunrise Highway that night,
according to Ford, contacted his organization and described what they thought
was a plane that was going down into the park. And many local residents whose
homes border Southaven report that they heard loud rumbling sounds and saw
strange lights.
"Eyewitness accounts have confirmed that a fire was reported
immediately after," noted Ford. "In addition, the roads around the park were
blocked off to travel by county and park police. The next day, and for a few
days after, the park was closed to the public."
One local resident who lives near the park said that for a five to six
day period after the incident, his house experienced numerous power surges and
the phone would ring strangely without anyone on the other end. "I ride horses
in the park so I'm pretty familiar with the activities there," said the 45-
year-old man who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of his job
("they would fire me if they thought I believed in flying saucers"). "For the
next few days there were a lot of military helicopters going over the park ---
and I couldn't get in."
Records show that Southaven Park was closed between November 25 and 28.
According to park officials, the park was closed to the general public that
week because it was reserved for duck hunting.
Although some of the area fire departments were initially called, they
were turned back and the fire was handled by the federally controlled
Brookhaven National Laboratory Fire Department, said Ford.
Ford's group finally gained admittance into the park a week later. "We
found an area that was burned out and some trees were bent over," Ford
recalled. "A section looked like it had been plowed over by machinery." But
two things were of particular interest to Ford. "We were getting a higher than
normal radiation reading in the area, higher than regular background radiation,
and the fence line in that area," said Ford, "had no magnetic reading." Ford
explained that metal fences maintain a magnetic charge from the Earth.
"Something had stripped away the magnetic charge of the fence."
Last week Ford received what he had been waiting and hoping for: a
video film of the crash. "I can't say where I got it from because these people
who supplied the tape are afraid that the government will go after them."
Because of the poor quality of the tape, Ford has been working with video
specialists to try and enhance the quality of the picture and to produce
stills.
The video, a copy of which was given to South Shore Press, shows people
examining a bright reddish, metallic-type object about four-square feet that
appears to be emitting a white, cloudy gas, and a hissing sound can be heard
--- a sight and sound that resembles dry ice that has been exposed to warmer
temperatures. The next shot shows what appears to be a person trying to lift
up a body near a tree, but the poor quality of the film makes positive
identification impossible. In a final scene, three uniformed men (wearing dark
jackets and rounded caps similar to federal swat teams) are seen placing a
large shiny spread (similar to mylar) over something on the ground. Ford makes
no apologies for the poor quality of the video: "Things are happening fast and
the guy who took the shots doesn't want to be too obvious." And he confesses
that it is hard to get people to come forward and admit what they've seen. "One
of the major problems in researching UFOs is that people are afraid of sounding
like lunatics when describing strange, unexplained events." But an even
greater fear, notes Ford, is the government. "You get involved with things
that the government doesn't want people to know and they can make life pretty
tough for you."
What are Ford's conclusions about the Southaven incident? "We are
still very actively investigating this event. We believe that an
extraterrestrial craft, with aliens, crashed that night in the park --- and we
are out to prove it."
The Long Island U.F.O. Network has a 24-hour hotline number (286-3212)
to which Ford encourages people to call if they have any information on the
(Southaven) incident or any other (unexplainable) phenomenon. Or you can call
this reporter at 281-PRESS --- he would love to know what happened that night.
