Aliens in New York State?

So when you think about an alien, most likely you think about this guy, right? So today I'm in Pine Bush, New York State. I'm here at the UFO festival. This is considered the Area 51 of the East Coast. And why is that? Because every year they have hundreds, if not thousands of sightings. UFO sightings, of course. So today I want to go and find someone who saw something. Let's do it. So it seems you're famous here. Sort of, yeah, yeah. We're here every year. I'm with the band Blue Alien Mystic. We're kind of like the house band for the show, for the event. Yeah, we play in the main stage there. I also will serve as the emcee for the beauty pageants that we have here, you know. It's like costume alien themed beauty pageant. There's my drummer right here. I know someone just like you. Really? Yes. Okay. Scary. But beautiful the same way. This is John, my drummer in our band. How you doing? Nice to meet you, man. Nice to meet you. We're on our way to the stage. All right. The band has an alien theme, so we're Blue Alien Mystic. And the other member of the band found out about this event and said, hey, we should try to play there. And so we started back then and we've been back every year since. At first, we weren't doing like the whole makeup thing, but they asked us if we would kind of like be the main attraction for the band stage. And I wear the silver suit and I watch my diet for the week leading up to it, so I don't have too much of a belly in the suit. Well, I guess aliens can get fat too. Yeah, yeah. I suck in my belly a little bit from time to time. And just being in makeup like this, people just want to take pictures. Any real life experience? Myself? Yeah, well, I've seen UFOs. I have seen. Yeah, I've seen the what they call a tic tac. I saw that. Yeah, I saw that on video. I saw that in driving through Westchester County. I saw two of them kind of like racing each other up in the sky. And then they just shot off at like not human speed. And that was several years ago, but nothing since that. So, I'm Mr. Haunt, and I'm a celebrity judge of the Alien Fest and Galaxy Beauty Pageant, which is also a costume contest that Pine Bush UFO Fair has every year. And they asked me to come up. I live outside New York City, and I'm a judge. I'm an expert on costumes and makeup and things like that. And I have a lot of other things that I do costume judging for. So, we look for a you know, is it something we haven't seen before? But, you know, I think the best thing is did they make it themselves? Did they do their own makeup? Did they make their own clothing or costume? Those are the kind of things you look into something that, you know, you can't just buy in a store. So, it's, you know, how much time do they spend on it? You know, it's aesthetically pleasing. These are the kind of things that we look for. So, this is the jury. This is it. This is the judges right here. Okay, we have chosen. And the winner is Kobar. Kobar, we have a giant, earth-sized, a $500 check for you. Congrats, hey. Thank you. Good job. We've all seen things that we can't explain. That's very true. That's very true. So, absolutely. I like it because, you know, at least we're addressing the fact that, you know, I don't know whether it's aliens or not. I have no idea. But, at least, you know, I know that people's experiences are real. I know that people are definitely seeing things and have experienced things. I'd love it if there was more research done into that to see what is it? Is it in their heads? Is it actually aliens? Is it possible? Who knows? I was just like, you know, regardless, this is such a fun fair. It's like a small town America and it's just so nice to see all the community get together and people come from all over and everybody's happy and people are dressing up and it's just fun and lighthearted. So, we just love it here. Okay, let's try this alien ice cream. It's normal ice cream. Okay, when it comes to the topic of UFO, aliens, so on and so forth, I have to say that I've always been curious about that in the way that I do think they exist. There is plenty, plenty of reports, sightings, witnesses that they did see something that it's not explainable with, let's say, modern science. Back in the 80s was when the Pine Bush phenomenon started. There were like multiple sightings by multiple people. Pine Bush was like, they were called the UFO capital of the Eames of New York, of the Hudson Valley. People here in the area had seen an experience. I started to meet and talk about what they'd seen, what they experienced. Did you have any experience, direct experience, any sighting? Yeah, yeah. About three or four years ago, I saw very close up one of the black triangle craft probably about maybe five or six miles from here. It was totally silent. It was very low and it was in the middle of town in the hamlet of Wonkyo. We had the three lights on the corners and the light in the middle. It was nobody inside. You pulled off the side of the road and watched it go straight overhead going northeast. Pine Bush is a hot spot for sightings, UFO sightings. Helen Quistle wrote a book that put us on the map. There's so many sightings and landings in our area that have actually been photographed. Whitley Steber wrote the book Commune Loop. He gave a lot of exposure to what was happening in our area. So that was way back in the day. And some of the Pine Bush citizens said, want to celebrate the fact, you know, that the aliens land here. We want to involve the town. So they put this together. My takeaway after spending a great afternoon at this festival is that in a way or another, everyone wants to believe in something. Now, I do think aliens exist. They're out there, 100%. But at the same time, I would prefer not to believe in them in the sense that you follow them. I would say that spiritual human values are the most important thing. See you next time. Ciao.
