Believe it or not. Around this time last year, a UFO was sighted in the ‘sham:

I reclined on my garden bench to get a better look at the constellation of Orion, which lay directly above me, periodically using my binoculars to get a more detailed view. After a while I noticed what can only be described as a large shadow moving in a controlled fashion across the sky. It could only be seen as its contrasted very slightly with the not yet dark nightscape. I quickly raised my binoculars to check the ghostly image only to see a very dark (Black) boomerang or ‘V’ shaped object silhouetted against the evening sky. It moved with stealth and was completely silent. I found it impossible to gauge how big the craft was but the lights which were visible (only with binoculars) around its circumference gave me the instinctive feeling that I was looking at something significant […] This experience left me both excited and shaken.
And not only that! It seems that the other ‘shams attract these unidentified thingies too!
THREE DAYLIGHT DISCS CAVORT OVER MASSACHUSETTS
On Saturday, April 27, 1996, at approximately 6 p.m., a man standing on the eastern shore of the Quabbin Reservoir, just west of Petersham, Massachusetts, spotted three UFOs in the sky over the huge man-made lake.
“I saw them moving in a circular, sweeping sort of motion,” the man said. “They made no noise and produced only a brightening light that seemed to silhouette them against the sky.” At first “the UFOs appeared as lines in the sky,” he added, “but by their appearance I judged them to be flat or concave in shape. The area (of flight) was west of my position looking over the Quabbin. The objects were moving at what I would say was 30 miles per hour in a north-south rotation, switching directions in the air. I watched them for about five minutes until the objects zipped over the (Berkshire) hills to the west.”
I love these descriptions. Since it’s clearly impossible to show photographs, the UFO reports must rely on words alone. The verbatim accounts give an authentic, “eyewitness” feel to something entirely unsubstantial.
