Welcome to episode 31 - New Jersey First up in Weird News, we discuss whether UFOs are a threat to national security. Then in this week's main topic, we discuss a not-so-well-known mass UFO sighting in 1966 New Jersey. For 2 hours on January 11, no less than 50 people in the town of Wanaque watched as a strange craft invaded their skies. This object would be seen by many credible witnesses including:

Mayor Harry T. Wolfe and his son Billy
Councilmen Warren Hagstrom, Arthur Barton, and John Shuttle
Civil Defense Administrators Bentley Spencer and Richard Vrooman
Chief of Police Floyd Elson
Officer George Dyckman
Patrolman Joe Cisco
Sgt. Bobby Gordon (Pompton Lakes Police)
Sgts. Ben Thompson and David Sisco
Patrolmen Edward Nestor and Jack Wardlaw
Reservoir Police & Personnel George Destito, Charles Theodora, Fred Steines
The Mother Superior of a local convent
During the duration of the sighting, the object would periodically shoot large beams of light from a porthole, down towards the ice near the Wanaque Dam and the town's reservoir and water resource facilities. The beams would then create holes in the ice as if they were burning through the freeze of winter with precision and ease!
