                   UFO Landing and Government Intercept

       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.

       For further  information  contact  the Long Island UFO Network,
    Inc. at the Hotline No. 516-286-3212. --- msged 1.952S ZTC
