Cheryl Costa X Mudking – Episode 122
Episode 122: In The Skies
Cheryl Costa is a two-service military veteran, a retired aerospace security engineer and a published playwright. She has had a lifelong interest in UFOs. From 1998-2001 she hosted “The X Factor” talk radio program in Washington, DC, covering UFOs and many other paranormal topics. In 2013 she began writing NEW YORK SKIES a weekly newspaper blog for SyracuseNewTimes.com. In the column she shares lively accounts of New York State UFO sightings. Cheryl’s live presentations are known for their frankness, humor, and a bit of theatrical flair.
Since 1969 the government has claimed no interest in the subject, and the press and media either ignore or ridicule any mention of UFOs. Yet citizen scientists and non-governmental organizations have continued to this day the research into this important subject: this book seeks to make the hardest data available accessible to the general public, as well as other UFO researchers. The book is organized into beginning narrative sections including analysis of UFO sightings, frequently asked questions, and how to use this book, followed by the data. Charts, tables, and maps are presented of summary data for the entire US and individual chapters for all 50 states (down to the county level) plus the District of Columbia. Aimed at the serious UFO researcher, this comprehensive volume is also of value to academic and public libraries, news organizations, and anyone who is interested in what is flying in the skies over their heads where they live.
New York State has had a unique history of UFO sightings, in fact it accounts for about 4% of the world wide sightings. Some sightings have been reported in word-of-mouth folk tales, some as sworn statements before county clerks in colonial NY. Some have been reported in 19th century newspaper accounts. One was even shared with a priest and annotated in the margins of a baptismal register. In more modern times, the reports of UFOs and strange aerial phenomena come to us in national reporting data bases. The reports range from as recent as last night, to a long overdue recounting of an incredible night long ago and some even come to us transcribed as deathbed accounts. Journalist and Playwright, Cheryl Costa will share with you some of the amazing accounts and stories of UFOs that she’s reported in her popular weekly newspaper column “NEW YORK SKIES.”
