Pennsylvania Town Holds UFO Convention
DOYLESTOWN (CBS) ―
Residents in a Bucks
County town have their
eyes on the sky after a recent rash of UFO sightings.
It has become so popular in the Philadelphia
suburb that a convention is being held at Bucks County
Community College
Saturday night, reports CBS staTion KYW-TV.
The festivities run from Noon to 5 p.m. and admission is $15.
Star watchers have their cameras trained on the air above Bucks County
as a large number of residents have reported numerous strange lights and
bizarre shapes hovering in the area.
Joseph Vigilante says he recently caught glimpse of a UFO above his
Doylestown store, The Bagel Barrel.
"It looked most like a star except for the rapidly changing color to it and it
was far brighter than any other star in the sky," he said.
Vigilante is not alone. Last year, there were over 70 reported UFO sightings
in Bucks County. Many witnesses captured photos
and video of strange blinking lights high in the atmosphere.
Cynics and skeptics have their doubts about the sightings saying the lights are
from a nearby Air Force base, but others are holding on to the thought of alien
tourists.
"I'm not really qualified to make a judgment call, but I try to keep an open
mind," said Doylestown resident Vicky Azar.
