He also said he heard yelling or screaming coming from the park. He kept trying until it finally turned over. He said he thought he heard some kind of movement coming from the park from the direction of where this thing hit. He stood there a minute kind of shocked and kind of frozen in fear. It sounded like a big splat rather than an explosion. Within seconds he heard it hit the ground. It was partly on fire across the one side of it. It was a huge dark colored UFO craft coming in on its side. As it got closer it changed direction and dipped lower coming in over the park. He looked towards the noise and saw it coming in out of the night sky down towards the woods. when he heard a huge rushing air sound with a high-pitched whine. He told us he was carrying wood back to his truck. He reminded us no one is suppose to go in the park and do that which is why he did not want anyone to know what he had witnessed. He told us that it was easy picking for him to quickly gather up fallen tree branches and logs to burn in his cabins stoves. He then told us that he often use to wait until dark and climb the fence down the road from his cabin that surrounds that part of the park. The man started his account of the crash by telling us he would all of it as he had no intentions of ending up in a mess of trouble. The man who lived in the cabin told us that he had seen the crash happen. He was a strange man who felt entitled to do things others would not think of doing.Īt the end of the evening we were sipping coffee and sharing homemade fruit pies when the subject came up about the UFO crash in the nearby park years before in 92. I was not that he helped himself to his neighbors crops or that he was killing animals in restricted state protected areas. He would brag openly at how little he actually purchased to live or entertain. He also hunted in restricted areas, fished often and always killed the ducks in the area for his seasonal dinner parties. He lived off the land, which meant he helped himself to the local farmers crops taking his vegetables and fruits from their farms at night by way of flashlight and climbing fences. I do know he heated water on his stoves to wash dishes and take a bath every few days. I do not recall if he had or not as the party was lit by candles. Two large wood burning stoves heated it with his water supply borrowed by way of hoses from his neighbor’s barn. It was however neat and clean and made for an interesting dinner. It was hard to imagine anyone living there full time. The man lived in a cabin that was a old dilapidated three-room building that he was holding together with duck and hope. In the late 90′ I was invited to a dinner party this man and my friend hosted. The man lived in a very rustic cabin located along the border of the South Haven Park area. The man was a love interest of a friend of mine. I wrote an article about this incident involving a man I knew who told the story at a dinner party that he not only recalled the UFO crash he saw it happen with his own eyes. Quickly the conversation of the crash died away and life moved on. I recall one local radio announcer at the time offering aluminum foil hats to those making the claims the crash did happen. Most of the people involved who witnessed the entire encounter quickly learned that going against the tide did not work out well as they were ridiculed and at. Those who witnessed the event and the fire engines, police and military enter and work in the park for days had a different account of what took place. Soon the event lost the public’s eye and was forgotten.Īctually the event was forgotten by those who did not see it happen or live in the area at the time. The police and military also gave statements to the same with the newspapers and TV news repeating the same denials. Quickly the coverage of this incident went from a fantastic event with fire engines and military equipment involved in the incident to a complete turnaround of the fire house chiefs suddenly claiming they were not there and never helped with any event in the park. Years passed and the interest in this crash faded. I realize now this event was the big news of that entire year! It seemed to be the main topic of conversation for a short time but soon lost its interest as the holidays were just starting and the UFO story seemed to lose its headlines to Santa and the Malls. I remember the event as I lived in Suffolk county New York at the time and recall all the talk and newspaper reports concerning this event.
