Springfield Area UFO Sightings
On a summer evening in 1966, around midnight, a UFO was spotted above the village of North Springfield. Two Springfield Police Officers observed it moving in a westerly direction. They followed the object in their police cruiser. It wasn't flying as fast as an airplane, allowing them to keep up with it. They managed to stay with it for a few miles on Rt 10 until they reached the end of it at the junction of Rt. 103 in Gassetts. The object continued on, westward, soon disappearing from sight behind a hill. This sighting made headlines in area newspapers.
A similar sighting but in broad daylight happened a few months later in Rockingham. This one made news all around the world because it was captured on film. Young teenagers Danny Gray and Ricky Sharp were on their way to photograph the Gageville covered bridge when they spotted a doughnut shaped object hovering nearby. The object was noiseless, black and white, and had a "shiny coil on its dome." It appeared to be 25 feet in diameter. Ricky had the presence of mind to snap six pictures before the object zoomed straight up and out of sight. The boys told their parents and friends, but no one believed them. However, Tony Redington of The Connecticut Valley Times-Reporter listened to their story and agreed to develop the film, which soon led to publishing them in his newspaper. Then UPI picked up the story.
To report a UFO sighting
Project Blue Book was one of a series of systematic studies of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) conducted by the United States Air Force. It started in 1952 but ceased operations in January 1970. By the time Project Blue Book ended, it had collected 12,618 UFO reports, and concluded that most of them were misidentifications of natural phenomena (clouds, stars, etc.) or conventional aircraft. A small percentage of UFO reports were classified as unexplained, even after stringent analysis. The UFO reports were archived and are available under the Freedom of Information Act, but names and other personal information of all witnesses have been redacted.
Now private investigative organizations handle sighting reports. The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) at www.mufon.com/report-a-ufo.html and The National UFO Reporting Center at www.ufocenter.com/reportform.html.
Below are a few local sightings that have been reported over the years...
May 31, 1953 Springfield VT sighting, but not reported until 2015: In early evening at dusk my mother and i were in the yard of our farm when we noticed a very long oblong aerial craft moving slowing toward terrain rising on the hill adjacent to the farm. it was completely silent, oblong cigar shaped, with five large lighted windows along the side. i did not see any occupants. it appeared to be headed for a collision with part of the hill. it did not collide, but disappeared behind the hill. on the other side of the hill is a numbered route following a river. i have never heard of anyone else who saw the craft; my mother swore me to secrecy because at that time people were ridiculed for seeing/reporting/believing such things as alien craft. however, i know what i saw - and she is no longer able to stop me from speaking out. i did think, at first, that it was a craft which had lost its engines, hence the silence, but now realize that was not the case.
4/12/2017 - Springfield, VT: It was 11:30, I was walking my dog and I looked up and there was a sphere slowly moving across the sky makeing it's way towards Windsor. It zig zagged and zipped towards Windsor, VT, my dog reacted to this event with barking and shaking. My dog doesn't scare easy it was his reaction tbat frightened me the most.
11/16/2012 - Springfield, VT: At about 11 pm at night, I went outside to see a meteor shower that was supposed to be happening (Leonid Meteor Shower). I sat on my porch, looking at the stars, when I noticed a blinking star. I looked closely and it was blinking red and blue, very bright in color. Then I noticed that it was moving all over the sky, right, left, up, down. I ran inside to get a blanket, and ran back out and it was still there. It would get closer at times, and it would occasionally stop and hover. I could see that it could be a spear shape, with the light in the center and coming from the center there were long lines, as if connecting on the outer rim. I wasn't sure what I was seeing, and kept watching it for an hour, going around the sky, getting closer then further away. When I did get to see it, it looked like some sort of craft, honestly. I don't know how to describe it. It was dark and I could only see so much. I did see a plane fly by and pass by it. I waited for somet! hing to happen, but it continued for an hour before I decided I was freezing and had to go inside. All I know is that I have never seen anything like it before.
2/2/1995 - Springfield, VT: I was driving on rt 11 west and as I came around a corner over a beaver pond was this oval shaped very bright, with small square windows and bottom was like opague. I was scared and tried to turn my car around but I could not, I tried to go by it fast but as I pushe down on the gas petal I could not go faster, I remember seeing a white older truck pulled over on the side of the road. I remeber the light seeming to get brighter The next thing I remember was driving into my dooryard, my husband meet me at the door and asked where Had I been it was 1:30AM in the morning and I had started home from Springfield at around 11 pm. The next morning while showering I noticed a small black cylinder shaped about maybe all most an inch long in my leg, it did not hurt. I had that black thing in my leg for about four years then it dissappeared. My mother has also had several experiences.
08/27/2017 - Springfield, VT: My wife and i were sleeping in our bedroom. earlier in the day we saw a blue light flash through the sky. we ended waking up in our living room on a pull out couch with marks on our body and my wife has an 8 on her side that is black and blue. beforehand it felt like we were being watched. before i fell asleep i saw a light flash which is the last thing i remember.
For years I've been reluctant to disclose details of my abduction and anal probe. The beings telepathically communicated to me they were agents of Wall Street on a mission to destroy Springfield's economy.
ReplyDeleteGreed and ignorance destroyed this town's economy. Wall st. doesn't even know it exists.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Trump is going to have to build a "dome" to cover the whole USA to keep these illegal aliens out.
ReplyDeleteI thought I saw something in my yard too. It wasn't shining and didn't have red or blue lights and I do believe the time remained stable. Oh wait….it was Bigfoot!
ReplyDeleteSeeing red and blue lights is pretty common around here.......
Delete11:06, get Dean Frutiger's thesis on the life and death of Precision Valley from the Springfield Historical Society. You'll change your opinion about Wall Street.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion of Wall st. is already negative. I have perhaps a unique perspective on this one, as I was living in Rockford, Il when Fellows Gear moved there. Rockford has all the transportation infrastructure ANY business could ever need; it's only 90 miles from Chicago, has a major airport, (with both UPS and FEDEX hubs) rail lines, and I90 goes through it. They DID NOT, as some have suggested, leave to escape the Unions, as both the IAM and the UAW are very active there. There, they built a modern facility, and left the crumbling, isolated town of Springfield behind. Oh, and since Rockford is a major industrial center, there's NO shortage of skilled machinists. (I used to be one of them) All in all, a shrewd business decision. I don't know what made anyone here think that Fellows would stay, and pay top dollar for labor, when they could move and have everything they could ever need. It's simple math. Sorry, guys, although I truly feel for you, you should've seen it coming.
DeleteThose skilled machinists (whose wages were considerably higher than our "top dollar"), were used to the quality of life in a "major industrial center" too. Been there; seemed quite distant from paradise to me.
DeleteIt's true that after the Bush tax cuts in 2003, a lot of old Rockford companies, in old crumbling buildings, left town for China. (Fellows Gear stayed.) I left in '04, when the unemployment rate was about 18%. I never said Rockford was paradise, but if you lived on the EAST side (as I did) it was close enough. You are missing the point, however. It was the lack of critical infrastructure that caused Fellows Gear to move, not Union wages, not Wall st. conspiracies. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Rather than rest on its laurels, Springfield should have seen the writing on the wall and diversified its economy, BEFORE the major manuacturers left. This town CAN come back. As other posters have said, modern tech-based businesses don't necessarily rely on transportation infrastructure, and could be just as successful here as anywhere else. In order to get them to come here, some major improvements will need to be made; tearing down the eyesores downtown, including most of the "low-income housing," would be a good place to start. It looks the WEST side of Rockford; maybe that's what you saw, Bob.
DeleteI would like to hear/see what a diversified economy in Springfield, VT would be/look like
