A giant craft over the Indian Point nuclear plant (24 July 1984)
On the night of 24 July 1984, during the Hudson Valley sighting wave, security police at the Indian Point nuclear plant in Buchanan, New York, reported a conical craft as long as three football fields, with white, yellow and blue oscillating lights, passing over the plant. As it passed, movement sensors, alarms and the security control computers failed. UAP Gerb says NRC agents then took over plant security for two days and confiscated the video and audio records.
How plausible · High
Security officers at a nuclear plant describe a huge craft and failing sensors during a well-witnessed regional wave, and the records were taken, which fits the pattern at nuclear sites.
