Museum research record.

A museum in Pine Bush, New York, Pine Bush UFO & Paranormal Museum is filed here for what the record attaches to it. Museum research record. It sits in the archive under UFO history and folklore collections. The dossier holds 1 documented fact — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. It operates as a museum. Names, dates and reports are filed together here, so the record stays honest about which is which.

Pine Bush earned its title before it earned its museum. The hamlet in Orange County's Shawangunk Ridge country became famous in the 1980s for a concentrated wave of reported UFO sightings — the Hudson Valley 'flap' of boomerang- and triangle-shaped craft — a body of witness accounts substantial enough that Ellen Crystall's 1991 book Silent Invasion made Pine Bush a case study and tourism sources began calling it the UFO capital of the East Coast.
The sightings were never anything more than reported — which is exactly the status the file assigns them — but they were reported often, by many people, and they never quite stopped.

THE MUSEUM
The Pine Bush UFO & Paranormal Museum opened at 86 Main Street in June 2021, a project of the Town of Crawford built on the success of the annual UFO fair the community has run since 2011. Its exhibits walk visitors through reported Hudson Valley events: a sightings timeline stretching back to the early twentieth century, a map of unidentified submerged objects, a recreated Sasquatch account from Tivoli, and a furnished room reproducing Montgomery's reportedly haunted Patchett House.
The file's framing is the honest one: the museum interprets a century of local and regional accounts — it archives the reports rather than adjudicating them.
