JULY 7, 1973………..PARAMUS NEW JERSEY
Hovering above our two car garage off our back yard patio breezeway, our garage was separate from the main house” I saw a large dull grey object hovering it did not have airplane wings or a propeller. It did not have any writing on it. I did notice very tiny windows across the side a little higher than half way up. I wondered if there were people inside. Right after I thought this, I noticed slight movement. Suddenly there were three dark shapes in the window just to the left of my vision. I saw a small dark shaped figure. To the right of this figure was another taller dark shaped figure and to its right was another small dark shaped figure like the first small dark figure I had noticed. I tried to see if the dark shaped figures had a face or hair or clothing. I couldn’t tell. The object was very, very long and big and it was high up about three to four stories high. The windows were very small. Smaller than a large commercial airplane. I was used to flying on airplanes to visit relatives as a child. That is how I can say they were very small windows.
All I could make out was the outline of what looked like shoulders with an outline of a head shape. I looked at all the small windows to see if there were any other small or tall dark shaped figures. There were none. I immediately realized this object was not a blimp. I had seen a blimp before with writing on it. The blimp was a totally different shape. This object was like a long cigar shape it appeared to be a very dull medium grey medal. Not shiny. No words or markings. I wondered why it was so quiet. It simply hovered in one spot. There were no wings or propeller. Nothing but a cigar shaped grey dull metal looking object with tiny windows and three dark strange figures. I covered my eyes to look at this strange cigar shaped metal colored dull grey object better. The sun had starting to go down a little. I noticed how long it was. It covered our two car garage and our driveway and part of our yard off our driveway. It was so long that it covered everything it seemed.
Our garage, the tall trees in our long circular driveway and part of our trees to the right of our driveway. This object was very. very long. That was the moment I suddenly wondered if it could be a real “ufo.” I asked my sis if she thought it was a ufo. She whispered yes quietly. As soon as she replied to my question small lights turned on. They started blinking faster and faster in a steady pattern from my left to my right green, red and white colors. I quickly looked for the dark figures I had seen seconds before in the tiny window to my left. They were gone. Without a sound this object suddenly took off darting in a southwest direction. It moved so fast. I stood in shock. I never saw or heard a sound. No engine noises. Nothing. No smoke. No smell. Nothing. It was barely visible way off in the distance towards my left. My sister yelled get my keys. Frantic, I took off running. I grabbed her VW keys off the kitchen hook and we took off. My sis floored it yelling at the traffic to hurry asking me over and over if I could still see it. I said yes but it very far away getting harder to see.
She said it’s probably flying over the highway ( the highway was nearby route 4.). As we entered the on-ramp traffic stopped. My sis scanned with her visor down for the object. She finally spotted it over the highway way off in the distance. She kept beeping and beeping for the people to move. We were stuck. She finally gave up saying over and over I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. I saw a ufo . It was a long time before traffic moved. Cars had stopped on both sides of the four lane highway watching the object in the distance. Finally, the object disappeared from sight. When we returned home, my sis told our mom what happened. Our mom thought she was kidding around. I said no she’s not she really saw a ufo.
She was kind of shy. Not one to tell a lie. We both raised Catholic. I was eleven years at time. Our home burned down in 1974. Then we had to move until it was rebuilt. That is why I believe it was 1973 when this happened. My sis was 21 at the time. It was summer cause I wasn’t in school. I must say we had a lot of woods right next to our house. Tons of them. I would play all day in them with friends when I wasn’t in school. We had a tree fort, we sledded in the winter and rode minibikes on trails we made. We never spoke of this event to anyone. I knew no one would believe me. I didn’t want anyone to think me, or my sis were crazy. So, I kept quiet. A few years ago, I called my sis and said do you remember the strange ufo we saw? She got really quiet and spoke. Yes, I do. I said so it really was a ufo? It wasn’t a figment of my imagination. She said no. It was a ufo. You saw it. I saw it. I kind of laughed and said thank God. I was beginning to wonder after forty two years if I had imagined it.
She said again. No, we didn’t. It was real. It even backed up traffic over the highway. The only people that know about this event are my sis almost 71 now retired, my spouse, my kids and now MUFON. I pray someday, somehow mankind will come to understand the unexplainable. I hope sharing my experience will give others the courage to come forward and share theirs without fear. Sadly, it’s taken me a lifetime. * This event took place in the summer of 1973 towards dusk in Paramus. NOTE: The above image is rendering but from another case file.
This case is under investigation by MUFON’s ERT Director George Medich.
