UFO sighting in New York City precedes the arrival of Hurricane Irene

Hurricane Irene never arrived in New York. Hurricane Irene never made landfall in the United States. It came ashore as a tropical storm and continued to weaken throughout its journey. When it reached New York it was barely a tropical storm.

Excellent graphics from the link above:

2 of the oak trees that fell on my land during the storm beg to differ.
