Hi there. My name is Ed Sanborn and I'm the MUFON State
Director for Mass. I received the following in the mail from a
member of the LIUFON on Friday Nov. 24, 1989: LONG ISLAND U.F.O.
NETWORK P.O. BOX 232 Center Moriches, New York 11934 HOTLINE
(516) 286-3212 A NON- PROFIT RESEARCH ORGANIZATION.

PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE COPY

The Long Island UFO Network, Inc., a non-profit research
organization based on Long Island, announces to the media of the
Metropolitan area and the Nation that we have evidence that on
September 28, 1989 the United States Armed Forces attempted to
recover a disabled, or landed UFO. The incident occured on the
Dune Area of Smith's Point Beach near the entrance to the Moriches
Bay.

Military and Suffolk County Police Helicopters were involved in
an apparent attempt to monitor the craft on the Beach. A second
object estimated to be 574 feet to a thousand feet long was
observed hovering over the Bay. It was composed of six
tremendously large lights.

The helicopters (six involved) were composed of four military
helicopters and two Suffolk County Police Helicopters. These
helicopters surrounded the large object (commonly referred to as a
mother ship) in a circular rotation passing around this object in
a counter clockwise flight, the helicopters would then fly over
the second downed object in the dunes.

As this manuever was completed, the area would be illuminated
by the helicopters searchlights in an attempt to illuminate what
was on the ground.

Long Island UFO Network, Inc. has interviewed the eyewitnesses
to this event. The family lives in Center Noriches Long Island.
The husband, wife, and their adult son observed the large object
from their backyard in response to military helicopter overflights
of their home.

The husband and son drove to the Union Ave. dock and for two
and a half hours observed the operation.

The witnesses described the operation to LIUFON investigators'
under the provision their identities and address be held in the
strictest confidentiality. For their protection they were
interviewed on tape under fictitious identities and addresses. The
husband's taped interview is available to the media for
examination with permission of the witness.






The case is under further investigation by LIUFON
investigators. As more information develops it will be released to
the media. The case will be discussed at our forthcoming
conference on October 29th in Middle Island, NY at the Artist Lake
Condominium Center.

There exists 48 photographs of this occurence taken by the
eyewitnesses. They have been impounded by LIUFON for scientific
evaluation. As soon as tests are finished they will be presented
to the public on the Joel Martin Cable TV Show on cablevision at a
date to be announced.
We call upon the FAA, Suffolk County Police and the United
States Government to comment on this. Did they have UFO's over
Moriches Bay on Sept. 28, 1989 between 8:45 P.M. to 11:30 P.M. and
were they monitoring it? LIUFON demands to know, the public
demands to know and the World demands to know.
