"The Williamsport Wave", 1992

On February 6th 1992, residents all along the West Branch of the Susquehanna heard very loud noises, and saw bright lights on a boomerang shaped item in the sky.

The Mufon UFO Journal described this as the Williamsport Wave.

“Were you among hundreds of area residents who appear to have experienced a close encounter with the ‘Galaxy’ last night?” the Williamsport Sun-Gazette asked in its Feb. 6, 1992, edition.

 Sightings were recorded in towns from Trout Run to Selinsgrove.

One witness reported seeing “four bright, white lines spaced far apart in a row and hearing a ‘rumbling’ sound.” Other witnesses said the objects “rumbled low enough over area homes to rattle the glass in some windows"

In  The MUFON Journal, February 5th 1992, by Samuel Greco described the sound as “the rumble of a heavily loaded freight train, to the rumble of Niagara Falls, to the rumble of a snow plow plowing the street, or to the noise of a loud diesel engine truck.”

John Reitz, of Sunbury, said the noise was so loud it drowned out his tv show, he described what he saw for a Daily Item Reporter:

"I ran out of the house and saw this thing shaped like a boomerang, with three bright lights.  It was about two or three times the width of a football field.  It looked like a search light at the tip, and there were other lights and about three-quarters towards the center point.  The thing was at a controlled speed.  Then picked up speed and went over Kerchner's Hill.  As it disappeared it illuminated the entire top of the hill.  You could see the outline of the trees."



An article in the Daily Item the following week reported that Lewisburg residents reported seeing four jets in tight formation at the same time.

George Jeremiah, retired from the Army and living near Montandon,  described the craft as "one of those new bombers that look like the Stealth".

Although no definitive answer appears to ever have been found, various officials offered several possibilities, including a cargo plane or jet, or a soviet space station.
