A purple mothership was the last thing Lenny expected to see when he went out four-wheeling.
The clouds were large and full on an April day in 2012. Late in the day, many of the clouds took on a pinkish cast as the sun began to set.
On a farm near Greenwich, NY, 11-year-old Lenny was enjoying some last-minute fun on his four-wheeler. Suddenly, the youth began to hear an odd humming noise. Thinking there was a problem with his vehicle, he stopped to see what was wrong. But, when Lenny shut off his ATV, the humming continued, but seemed to be above him.
“I looked up and there it was, directly above me,” he said. “A huge UFO was coming out of a cloud toward me.”
The boy said it took several minutes for the object to leave the cloud.
He described the UFO as purple in color. He also mentioned the back of it was round and had long neck attached to it with a cockpit-like structure on the end. The craft had three markings on its side.
Lenny’s eyes got wide as he further described the UFO. “It was enormous,” he said. “It was longer than our 10-acre field.”
As the huge craft hovered above the field where the youth was standing, something remarkable happened.
“Another smaller purple UFO, a smaller one, came out of the bigger craft,” Lenny said.
He described the smaller of the two objects as the size of the family’s Cape-Cod farm house. He also said the craft was shaped similar to a conventional airplane.
“The smaller craft flew off in a westward direction,” he said.
Shortly afterward, Lenny noted that the mothership did a dip toward the ground. It then brought itself up vertically and started spinning in a 360-degree motion. He saw what he described as a blueish glow around it. As the craft spun faster, Lenny could hear an odd noise building up as the spin got faster.
“Suddenly, there was another loud noise, and the mothership craft shot straight up into the sky and was gone in a matter of a minute.” Lenny said.
“My son was 11 at the time,” Lenny’s father recalled. “He was scared and in tears. In the time since the sighting, he hasn’t changed his story. Every detail, from start to finish, he tells the same regardless how many times you ask him about it. He is a good kid who would never make this sort of thing up. He thought he was going to die right there in our backfields.”
