   To the Editor:   
      
        I  am  specifically  writing  because  of  the  alleged  UFO   
   sighting that occured in Easton.   
        Now,  I  will  admit  right up front that I  would  describe   
   myself  as a real hard core UFO buff.   I search for  UFO-related   
   materials,  and own at least one UFO pre-recorded video and  many   
   books on the subject.  The subject is one that I find fascinating   
   and I am not afraid to admit it.   
        The  recent 'incident' in Easton doesn't really surprise  me   
   and  the so-called excuses that are put forward when they  cannot   
   find  a  miserable excuse or a conventional explanation are  just   
   pathetic.   
        Now,  as  far  as  I know,  blimps,  or  the  more  accurate   
   technical  term  airships,  do  not  often fly  at  night  and  I   
   sincerely  doubt  that one would be over the geographic  area  of   
   Easton,  either.  There are also rather few airships operating in   
   the  entire  nation,  which reduces the odds that it would  be  a   
   'blimp'.   
        I  do  not  know  that some alleged  UFO  sightings  in  the   
   American  southwest,  specifically Nevada,  were very likely  the   
   recently  revealed Lockheed F-117A stealth attack fighter  bomber   
   and  not UFOs.   This is a case where the government exploits the   
   UFO  issue as a cover to test secret and  experimental  aircraft.   
   It is reported that the F-117A is wedge-shaped,  painted black or   
   dark  indigo blue and has its engines buried inside the  airframe   
   with large air mixing exhaust nozzles that mix hot engine exhaust   
   with  cool  air.   The end result is a very quiet  airplane  that   
   makes a kind of a low whining or buzzing sound when in flight.   
        The  geographical  area  of Easton isn't too  far  from  the   
   Danbury  area and adjoining Duchess County area of New York state   
   where there have been numerous reports of UFOs, including alleged   
   landing  sights  and even reports of UFO  abductions,  which  are   
   technically known as close encounters of the fourth kind.   
        The  fact  is that the people will never  get  the  straight   
   truth  from  the government because it has a vested  interest  in   
   keeping  the issue obscure and out of the mainstream of  American   
   political thought.   
        The American people have heard every lame excuse,  including   
   the  cliche' weather balloon,  and in the case of Duchess County,   
   were told of snowmobile engine powered ultralight aircraft flying   
   in formations of various shapes and sizes.   
        Because  these aircraft don't have any running  lights,  and   
   because,  unlike some military aircraft, they do not have special   
   radars  and  infrared  equipment to allow them to  fly  in  total   
   darkness, this doesn't make sense either.   
        We are simply being lied to.   
        I could rule out that the air force is testing either the F-   
   117A or other experimental stealth aircraft, but keep in mind the   
   government  prefers  to test such aircraft for safety  and  other   
   reasons in the southwest specifically in the Nellis Airforce Base   
   area and the Tonopah, Nev., region.   
        Because  I  don't  expect the federal government  to  reveal   
   their secret UFO information,  which everyone knows they have,  I   
   simply  expect the government to tell the truth about  when  they   
   are and when they aren't testing experimental aircraft,  and when   
   they really aren't sure what's out there.   
        I am coming around to the view that the government might not   
   be able,  for good reasons,  to really reveal all they know about   
   UFOs.   While it has been treated like a joke,  it is also a dead   
   serious issue.   
        The  truth of alien visitation to the Earth may just be  too   
   much for many people, especially if the recent speculations about   
   genetic experimentation are true,  and I personally believe  they   
   are.
