Eerie Creatures of the
Haunted Bridgewater Triangle - UFOs
What is the Bridgewater
Triangle?
A group of
17 towns and cities in Southeastern Massachusetts in the New England region of
the United States. The area has seen massive amounts of hauntings, UFO
sightings, ghastly creatures, and satanic cult activity dating back to colonial
times.
When the
Europeans first came to America, they killed off millions of Native Americans
with two things they carried with them: muskets and diseases. The indigenous people had few defenses for
either one. With his dying breath one of
the Wampanoag chiefs cast a perpetual curse on both the people and the land of
the Bridgewater Triangle. Some
researchers believe that might be the reason for the spate of problems that
have plagued the region for the last four hundred years!
The UFO Sightings
Appropriately
the very first recorded UFO sighting in the Bridgewater Triangle was in Bridgewater
itself. The whole town got excited one
morning when a strange vibrating noise was heard in the sky. Bewilderment from that racket was soon
forgotten when something even more astounding happened. A hulking, glowing white sphere floated
between the clouds. From the phantom
orb, a great light shined down upon the village. The rays emitted by the sphere were so strong
that they cast shadows upon the roadways, though they were already bathed in
full sun.
No, it was
not an airplane or a satellite, for such things had not been invented when this
sighting took place. It was more than 300 years ago in 1710. The object was viewed
by many people. The phenomenon was duly recorded in the Boston News-Letter, the
first newspaper in the British Colonies of the New World, which began publication
in 1704.
The most famous
and credible UFO sightings in the triangle are much more recent. Some of the newer sightings were in the sky above Raynham,
a town that shares a border with Bridgewater.
Hundreds of
people near the Raynham Dog Racing track reported seeing a bright light in the
sky moving across the night sky in 1979.
What bolsters the credence of this sighting is that two of the observers
were respected, veteran newsmen from Boston radio station WHDH.
Both men
still work in broadcasting. Steve
Sbraccia is currently a reporter for a major TV outlet in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Jerry Lopes is president of a radio
network. Back in 1979 they worked together
at WHDH.
One night they
were driving back from an assignment when they spotted something in the sky
near the race track, which is near the paranormal hotspot, the Hockomock Swamp.
They got out of the car. Other cars had
pulled over and people were looking up at the strange light in the sky.
In the
Bridgewater Triangle Documentary film, Steve Sbraccia said,
“we saw this,
this thing coming at us with this very bright light….it passed directly
overhead. It was as big as three Boeing 707s, wingtip to wingtip. It hovered
for a couple of minutes, and then it took off.”
Steve said
the object was shaped like home plate on a baseball field. He saw it two more times in two other locations. Newspaper reports in the Brockton Enterprise
and other outlets confirmed that many people had seen the UFOs and their
description matched that provided by Steve and Jerry.
Though I saw
a Puckwudgie in the same area, I have never seen a UFO. One of my sons however, has seen eerie tree
lighting in the woods surrounding a pond at the edge of the swamp.
He said that
on three separate occasions he has been in the woods at night and seen whole
sections of the trees glowing with an eerie white light. Not bright, the illumination was faint. He said they looked like giant glow sticks using
up the last of their energy. They had a dim
but discernable light. One tree, he said, might not even have been noticeable,
but when 75 or a hundred trees have the same dim glow, it’s very unsettling.
In the
daylight he examined the trees to see if they had moss or lichen that could
have been the reason for their illumination.
There was however, no moss on the trees and no rational explanation for
the glowing effect – except for the fact that they are growing and glowing in “The
Bridgewater Triangle”.
