Reed Family UFO Incident is the Berkshires UFO.
Clarifying the Berkshires UFO on Netflix, The other Tom
The Thom Reed UFO Incident of Sept 1st, 1969 is the Berkshires UFO. The Netflix, Unsolved Mysteries episode was solely based on the Reed family UFO encounter as it had just been officially archived into U.S. history, in 2015.
The rebranding was unfortunate as it added confusion. The source documents and/or State issued documents can be found at: www.berkshiresufo.com
The Reed family incident, AKA the Berkshires UFO, is our families' incident and our families' alone, as all government documents cite. My late father, Selectman and Attorney Howard Reed, saw our incident cited at the United Nations in support of GA33/426 back in 1992. This led to the establishing of our UFO Park and its sponsor, the International UFO Museum in Roswell. My father lost his life on the anniversary of said address, and that is why our encounter resurfaced again in 2006. Unsolved Mysteries had filmed reenactments about my father. Some included a courtroom setting, with other reenactments filmed in my family’s stretch limousine. However, all would be left on the cutting room floor, along with the State Documents that Unsolved assured us would be shown.
So, to clarify, the Berkshires UFO was just the name of a TV show based on our incident that would unfortunately include someone who colorfully finagled their way onto the episode.
The Berkshires UFO name www.berkshiresufo.com was and remains my website. It was acquired long before Netflix began filming, as it was and will be the title of our memoir/book in 2026. Where a lot of this will be detailed.
Cindy, from Unsolved, had called me a year prior to filming and asked for names and numbers of those who might be interested in participating in said episode. With that, I gave her the number for the GBHS, as I had been interviewed by the director, and briefly spoken with Warner some years earlier. Warner was a disabled volunteer assisting in the office who often jumped on the line when Debbie had me on hold or left the room. That is when and how Mr. Warner first became aware of the 1969 incident, as his stated more than once, while taking notes (Common knowledge) My family's official research file, and witness statements were also in the office he shared. There was an opportunity there, he took it. Many have pushed for a polygraph test but Warner declines. I know this sounds harsh, but this is an important case. So, it is what it is.
However, to often we see individuals tarnishing the integrity of an incident, either by sensationalizing it and falsely inserting themselves into something they were no part of. This history-making incident with its worldwide attention is no different and has to deal with hoaxers and unfair press. A shame, really, as it’s U.S. history. The root of the September 1, 1969, UFO incident has everything to do with my family's Diner in Sheffield, from its ties to the space race to witnesses who gathered there to talk in private.
If interested, a good source of reference is the International UFO Museum in Roswell, NM. as our Incident is highlighted there. Interesting fact: the law firm that assisted the State of MA in the mining of source documentation used their UFO Research library to mine for source documents regarding our case. These documents were then sent to the historical society and governor's office.
Emmy Award-winning news anchor Heather Kovar, from NY, originally covered the State induction and interviewed the Historical Society as well. WSBS Radio, is another solid reference as they aired our incident in 1969. There are also News Articles posted on the Berkshires UFO website, along with the State issued and/or Government documents. Yes, there were over 250 witnesses with 40–50 returning for the unveiling of the UFO Monument in Sheffield, in 2015.
I have never, NOT once, said I was abducted, I have made it very clear, we were all removed from our car by what appeared to be the government and taken to what resembled a large airplane hangar. Also, there were cattle mutilations in 1969, and what were said to be crop circles, these were all covered by local papers in 1994, 2012, and 2013, and all in Sheffield. What is also unfair is the press writing there were no 1960s news articles. See above.
