My family and I went home after a horse show at Ski Butternut in GT Barrington around 8:00 PM. 

As we left Sheffield bridge, we watched a large glowing disk rise from the left side of our station wagon. The disk appeared out of the water near the bridge. We did feel a tingling sensation, and it stopped.

We all looked right at it from the car Windows. The disk stopped about 100 feet (30.4 m) from the ground. At this time, light was coming from it, some falling on the ground, and some on our car. 

We felt a change in barometric pressure, then an eruption of katydids and crickets, and that was it. 

We remember being in a large dark room and walking through brightly lit corridors before getting back in the car. 

This device was noticed by many and broadcast on WSBS radio. Our restaurant "Village on the green" became a place where locals started talking about it, as many people saw it. 

In 2015, our meeting in 1969 was the first case of UFOs recorded in the History of the state as historically significant and reliable. 

The Governor's citation was published on November 3, 2015, and a 5,000-pound UFO monument was erected on Sheffield bridge. 

With this, I welcome and would like to speak to all the witnesses from this area (Massachusetts, Connecticut, and new York) from 1966 to 1970.

Original news

Date:  September 1 1969
Location:  Sheffield MA. & GT Barrington MA.
Time:  about 8:00
Summary:  My family and I were headed home following a horse show at Ski Butternut in GT Barrington, about 8:00 at night. We observed a large glowing disk rise along the left side of our station wagon as we exited the Sheffield Bridge. The disk originated from the water near the Bridge. We did feel a tingling, and it went dead silent. All of us were all looking right at it from the car windows. The disk stopped at about 100 feet or so off the ground. At this time light was coming from it, some downward hitting the ground and some hitting our car. We felt a change in barometric pressure, then an eruption of katydids and crickets, and that was it. We recall being in a large dark room, and walking along brightly-illuminated hallways, before finding ourselves back in the car. This craft was observed by many, and aired on WSBS Radio. Our “Village on the Green” restaurant became the spot for locals to talk about it, as many had seen it. In 2015 our 1969 encounter (the encounter) became the 1st UFO case inducted into State History as Historically Significant and True. A citation from the Governor was issued on Nov 3rd 2015 and a 5000 pound UFO Monument was placed at the Sheffield Bridge. With that I welcome, and would like to speak to all witnesses from the area, (MA, CT, & NY) from years 1966 – 1970. See State Induction Coverage.
