Helicopter Buzzes Bright White Ufo Over Indian Point Power Station Buchanan New York
Date: October 1971

Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

About 2 years ago, around 11:00 p.m. at night, I think I saw a small circular orb UFO fly over the power lines which cross through Pomona on the Thiells Mt Ivy Road.

A helicopter seemed to be maneuvering to keep it away. I had been on a phone call, and had been distracted as a helicopter kept flying and buzzing around for at least half an hour while I was on the phone, so I did not visually see the entire incident nor the UFO white orb for as long a period as I would have wanted to.

I wanted to understand what was going on, but I heard the helicopter buzzing around for at least a half hour, which was very unusual. I am not 100% certain of what I saw. I think the power lines are part of the electrical lines that come directly out of Indian Point Power Plant, the site of numerous sightings of UFOs especially in the 1980s.

The small orb UFO was of a bright white light, moving at high speed, and subsequently moved to the top of the ridge of High Tor Mountain which crosses Rt. 45 near 202 in Mt Ivy I saw a perfectly circular white light on top of that ridge for several minutes, but no strobe light, not even light beams emanating from that orb, which suddenly just vanished.

I got in my car to drive the two minutes over to see what had happened. That section of Rt. 45 that goes over that ridge was cordoned off by traffic barriers that night. There seemed to be activity going on on that ridge. I called the police department to find out what had happened, but they said they were unaware of any problem in that area whatsoever.

I called the Journal News the next day to find out what had happened, and why Rt. 45 was cordoned off, but they had no information whatsoever either. I went to the local Colonel's Deli in Mt. Ivy to find out what was going on, as the store was just below the ridge, and they said they had heard the loud helicopter sounds as well, but also had no idea of what had happened.

A friend who works with the Rockland County Emergency Services said it was not one of their helicopters. Also, when the above incident happened in October 1971, I am wondering whether the UFO and the strobe light the witness describes searching the woods, was actually possibly studying and inspecting the power lines from Indian Point that run through that section of Pomona, and the Thiells Mt Ivy Road area and also run on an east west parallel between Indian Point and Suffern.

Another theory is that the UFO might have been studying the geology of planet Earth and the Ramapo Mountain Fault lines which run through this area from New Jersey and the Ramapo Mountains, including the Suffern area, and across the Hudson into Westchester near and possibly even under Indian Point. It's all a mystery!
