The Berkshire UFO incident is one of the most fascinating and well-documented UFO sightings in the United States. It took place on the night of September 1, 1969, in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. This incident, also known as the Labor Day UFO Incident, involved multiple witnesses and has left a lasting impact on the local community.
On that evening, over 250 people reported seeing a mysterious UFO in the sky. The sightings began when residents noticed strange lights descending on the town of Sheffield. Witnesses described the object as a large, disk-shaped craft performing acrobatic maneuvers, emitting a bright and otherworldly light. The craft was reported to be larger than a football field, which added to the sense of wonder and fear among the observers.
One of the most notable accounts came from Thomas Reed and his family. As they were driving across the Old Covered Bridge, they saw the UFO and tried to escape, but the craft followed them. According to Reed, their car was engulfed in light, and they experienced a sense of disorientation. Reed later claimed that they were taken aboard the UFO. He took a polygraph test years later, which indicated that he was truthful about the encounter.
Another compelling testimony came from Melanie Kirchdorfer. She and her family were at Lake Mansfield when they encountered a bright light. Melanie's father chased the light, leaving her and her sister frightened. Melanie later recalled levitating and being on a ship with other children before waking up alone at the lake.
The incident drew significant media attention and has been the subject of various investigations. Despite extensive research, no definitive explanation for the sightings has ever been provided.
