The Encounter

George Obarsky was a liquor store owner who drove home every night at 3 A.M. On January 12, 1975, while driving through a local park in North Bergen, New Jersey, his radio became distorted. He saw a large, pancake-shaped craft land in front of him. Small figures, resembling children in snow suits, exited the craft and quickly collected soil samples. After the craft took off, Obarsky felt terrified and shaken. He shared his experience with UFO investigator Bud Hopkins, who found other witnesses with similar accounts. The incident left Obarsky deeply affected, as he struggled to reconcile his practical nature with the extraordinary event he witnessed. His son, Frank, noted the lasting impact of the encounter on his father's life.
