Stonehenge incident

The "Stonehenge Incident" or the "North Hudson Park UFO sightings" occurred on January 12, 1975. According to George O'Barski, while driving he heard static over his radio and saw in North Hudson Park a dark, round "spacecraft" with brightly lit windows hovering over the ground. Ten small, hooded, identically dressed figures emerged from the UFO, dug up soil and collected it in bags before returning to the craft. O'Barski returned to the site the next day and found the holes. Months later, O'Barski told the story to ufologist Budd Hopkins, who with other ufologists found independent witnesses (including a doorman at the Stonehenge) who also reported sighting the UFO. The incident was reported by Hopkins in The Village Voice,[11] his 1981 book Missing Time, and also in local newspapers.[12] [13]
