The story is that a UFO crashed in Long Island at South Haven
Park, about five miles from the infamous Brookhaven lab on November 24, 1992.
Further, the story goes, the Brookhaven fire department responded to the crash
and extinguished a massive brush fire caused by the crash.
There were no bush fires in the area that month and the
Brookhaven lab Fire Chief Chuck La Salla showed that the department didn’t
respond to any fires of any type on the week in question.
Legend says that the UFO was shot down by a high-powered plasma
beam from inside the lab. However, the physicist at Brookhaven National
Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider pointed out that, although the lab
does have high-powered plasma particle accelerators, it is locked into to a
prescribed path and if they did escape the lab, they would dissipate as soon as
they interacted with air.
