Apparently my extensive science background in meteorology and genealogy and the fact that I'm finishing a doctorate in music, never entered into the intelligence picture. After photographing clear-cut craft in the Pine Bush, N.Y. area, since 1980, with hundreds of people and colleagues along the way, many of whom have taken their own pictures, have had their own encounters, and some have been abducted, perhaps I have come to some bizarre conclusions -- to someone not acquainted with real UFO phenomena. His snide comments about other more "serious investigators" couldn't be further from the truth, as I'm one of the few researchers around the country out in the fields at night photographing and interacting with these ships -- not the stupid lights that Gruber saw the two quiet nights he was out in Pine Bush. I never said conclusively those lights were ships. Lights could be anything, and it's only in the last months or so that the shops have quieted down in the area, in spite of continuing barrage of people wanting to come up with me. If I was the only one in the Pine Bush area claiming to see these things, maybe there would be a problem. But I'm a New Jersey girl, who was called to the New York State area because people were frightened by close encounters. Gruber never bothered to interview any local residents, never called the Pine Bush Police Department. Although officers were told to keep things quiet, the officers have been out with us when we've had sightings in addition to having their own sightings and picking up "something" on their own police radar, other than cars. Gruber never even asked the woman who also met us the night he came what she had seen, and she has seen and photographed things extensively also. Gruber apparently wanted me to look crazy. All the airports in the Middletown, N.Y., area are uncontrolled except for Stewart. This means that for the most part, most planes land at dusk, and these airports close at 6 p.m. or 9 p.m. Ellen Crystal 379 Congress Street New Milford, NJ ================================================================= 8/89 ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
