Probe of mysterious V shape

This newspaper article, published in the Poughkeepsie Journal on June 28, 1984, reports on a series of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) sightings occurring across the Hudson Valley, specifically in Dutchess, Ulster, Putnam, and Westchester counties. According to the report, investigators have collected over 100 accounts of a large, boomerang-shaped object that hovers at treetop level, often accompanied by a slight buzzing sound. Witnesses have described the object as having rotating beacon and navigation lights that shift from white to red. Peter Gersten, a Westchester County lawyer and founder of the Committee Against UFO Secrecy (CAUSE), is leading an investigation into these sightings and is planning a rally to collect further witness testimony. The article notes that Gersten is working with J. Allen Hynek, described as the country's leading UFO researcher. The report highlights the difficulty in obtaining photographic evidence, as the object has reportedly avoided being filmed. Additionally, a local pilot reported observing aircraft flying in a V-formation, which Gersten suggests may be a source of confusion for some observers, though he maintains that planes cannot account for reports of a large, solid object hovering at low altitudes.
