Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Hard to describe, a metallic probe w/spotlight cylindrical.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: This is the first time I have ever written of this event. Late evening around 9:30 p.m., we were coming home from my aunts house in Spring Valley NY. We were in my mothers Toyota, Corolla teal green hatchback.
The color is important to the story. As we were driving along I noticed something pretty far away scanning the forest, that is parallel to the Parkway, with a beam of intense white light. It was just scanning as if looking for something.
There weren't any other vehicles on the road, traveling east or west. I was sitting in the backseat and my mother drove, the windows in the back did not roll down, but opened a little with a push-out lever, so that it pushed outwards about 3 inches only from the back part of the window.
It's hard to describe unless you've ridden in one. I kept watching it as it slowly made its way closer towards the Parkway. It was eventually going to intersect the with the lanes. As it went over the car, the beam changed color from white to the exact color of the car, a brilliant teal-green/blue beam of light.
The beam also narrowed just to barely encompass the car. At this point my mother began to get scared and wanted to get home as soon as possible. I tried in vain to look at the object from the back of the car. I couldn't get my head out of the window to get a real good look.
It followed us for what seemed like 5 minutes and then crossed the highway and the beam changed back to white again and began to continue scanning the woods for something. We reached exit 12 which was the Mt Ivy Route 45 exit back then.
We got off the Parkway and turned onto Rte 45, made a right as we traveled less than 1/4 mile. We were on a sort of elevated hill as we came into Mt Ivy. I could then see the object clearly because it was only 300 feet away from the car.
It's hard to describe, it had a cylindrical shape, but not uniform. It looked metallic and rotated had a small red light on top, looked like a probe of some sort. It had markings of some kind as well. As we went down the hill it continued west and was now parallel to Route 202 heading towards Suffern.
We live in Pomo Andna so we had to travel 3 minutes more on Rte 202. I saw it it get further and further away from us just scanning the woods with its spotlight. We get home soon after and we get out of the car get inside.
There was a bright full moon that night, mom got her house key out, opened the door and we ran in. We went straight to bed and we never talked about the incident. Many thing are odd about that entire night.
Firstly, we always went to my Aunt's house on the weekend, but we never took the Parkway because it doesn't make sense.
We would have gone on Route 45 which connects Spring Valley to Pomona by a more direct route only turning onto Route 202 for the last 3 miles of the trip.
Secondly, I remember traveling south instead of north when we approach Exit 12. That makes no sense because we would have been coming in from Upstate NY and we never did that.
Thirdly, whenever we got home we always talked and watched TV and stayed up until midnight. That didn't happen .
Other things happened consequently, but that for another time, nose bleeds, migraines and horrible dreams of not being alone at night. A mysterious presence and a petrifying fear of something in my room at night that plagued me for years.

About 2 years ago,around 11pm at night,I think I saw a small circular orb UFO fly over the power lines which cross through Pomona on the Thiells Mt Ivy Road, and a helicopter seemed to be manuveuring to keep it away.I had been on a phone call, and had been distracted as a helicopter kept flying and buzzing around for at least half an hour while I was on the phone, so I did not visually see the entire incident nor the UFO white orb for as long a period as I would have wanted to understand what was going on, but I heard the helicopter buzzing around for at least a half hour, which was very unusual. But I am not 100% certain of what I saw. I think the power lines are part of the electrical lines that come directly out of Indian Point Power Plant, the site of numerous sightings of UFOs especially in the 1980s. The small orb UFO was of a bright white light, moving at high speed, and subsequently moved to the top of the ridge of High Tor Mountain which crosses Rt. 45 near 202 in Mt Ivy I saw a perfectly circular white light on top of that ridge for several minutes, but no strobe light, not even light beams emanating from that orb, which suddenly just vanished. I got in my car to drive the two minutes over to see what had happened. That section of Rt. 45 that goes over that ridge was cordoned off by traffic barriers that night. There seemed to be activity going on on that ridge.I called the police department to find out what had happened, but they said they were unaware of any problem in that area whatsoever. I called the Journal News the next day to find out what had happened,and why Rt. 45 was cordoned off but they had no information whatsoever either. I went to the local Colonel's Deli in Mt. Ivy to find out what was going on, as the store was just below the ridge, and they said they had heard the loud helicopter sounds as well, but also had no idea of what had happened. A friend who works with the Rockland County Emergency Services said it was not one of their helicopters.Also, when the above incident happened in October 1971, I am wondering whether the UFO and the strobe light the witness describes searching the woods, was actually possibly studying and inspecting the power lines from Indian Point that run through that section of Pomona, and the Thiells Mt Ivy Road area and also run on an East West parallel between Indian Point and Suffern. Another theory is that the UFO might have been studying the geology of planet Earth and the Ramapo Mountain Fault lines which run through this area from New Jersey and the Ramapo Moutains including the Suffern area, and across the Hudson into Westchester near and possibly even under Indian Point. It's all a mystery !
