New Berlin, New York: Woman watches crew repair landed craft for hours, ground marks
From 12:45 to after 5 a.m. on 25 November 1964, Marianne Hatzenbuhler in New Berlin, New York, watched a humming light pace cars, land below a ridge and be repaired by five or six tall men in dark suits until a second machine joined and both left; she later found triangular ground impressions.
Background
At 12:45 a.m. Marianne Hatzenbuhler, staying with her mother-in-law in New Berlin, New York, saw a bright, humming light descend over New York State Route 8, move along a creek, appear to examine and pace passing cars and accelerate toward her, before it slowly ascended the mountain to the north-northeast and settled just below the ridge about three-quarters of a mile away. Watching through binoculars from about 1:05 a.m., she saw the stationary object on what appeared to be legs, with light radiating from beneath, while five or six unusually tall men in dark wetsuit-like clothing worked on it with wrenches and screwdrivers. A second, similar machine arrived from the west-southwest and its occupants joined the repairs, cutting cables and fitting what seemed to be a motor into the base of the first machine; the work lasted until 5:05 a.m., after which both machines departed to the west-southwest. The objects were estimated at 26–30 feet in diameter. The next day she found two triangular sets of impressions with sides of 15–20 feet and later a piece of cable that resembled aluminum but did not share its properties.
