Popular TV Show Highlights Famous Hudson Valley UFO Sightings
Let's be honest, after a long week of the daily grind busting your butt at work, there's nothing better than sitting down in front of your television (or phone depending on viewing preference) and transforming into a couch potato zombie for a couple of hours.
Everyone has done it before and we all have our favorite shows that even if we seen every episode multiple times, we still go back to them. Some of my favorite shows are currently airing on the History Channel and many of them have been on for multiple years. Shows like 'The Curse of Oak Island', 'The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch' and 'The Unexplained with William Shatner'. There's plenty of other shows I could name but one show sits above the rest...

Ancient Aliens: Hudson Valley
That show is Ancient Aliens and it has been a staple on the History Channel for well over a decade, and they are currently in the midst of their 20th season so you can imagine my surprise when I recently watched an episode where the Hudson Valley became the center of discussion.
For those that didn't know it already, the Hudson Valley is one of these 'hotspot' locations and numerous reports have been made over the years and decades detailing specific sightings throughout the region.
The episode was from the season 19 episode 1 titled 'The Hotspot Connection'. The episode detailed and attempted to explain why certain locations on planet Earth during different times in history have been more likely than others to have UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) /UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) sightings.
Famous Sightings in the Hudson Valley
The episode focused on two documented incidents, the first was of an anomaly spotted numerous during the early 1980's near Kent Cliff's. Numerous residents were witness to some type of aircraft hovering in the sky.
The aircraft was described as being "as large as a commercial jet" and having a "V shape, moved slowly and makes no sound". This event would jumpstart a period of time where reports of this same object continued to come in from 1983-1986.
The second incident came directly from best selling horror novelist, Whitley Strieber. Strieber in the episode detailed his own personal experience much like he did in his famous book titled 'Communion'.
Strieber states one night he had woken up in the middle of the night, in a room that was unfamiliar to him and in the room with him were two kinds of figures. Strieber described one set of figures as "willowy with big black eyes" and the others as "dark blue short figures".
He then describes how at one point he heard a voice ask "what can we do to help you stop screaming?". In the moment, Strieber describes a state of shock as in his recollection of the event he didn't initially realize he was screaming.
The incident is described in the episode as being "arguably the most famous sighting in the Hudson Valley hotspot". With so many other reports and sightings in the Hudson Valley area over the years and decades, you never really know what might be in the Hudson Valley's skies.
