WESTCHESTER BOOMERANG / V CRAFT REPORTS (1982–1986 CLUSTER)

Heterogeneous Hudson Valley/Westchester report-cluster for very large dark V- or boomerang-shaped structured objects with perimeter lights, prolonged hovering and generally little sound. Clark also documents that Stormville pilots flying conventional aircraft explained at least some sightings, so the dossier does not assume every report had one cause.
