UFO Crashes in Basking Ridge, New Jersey then flys away, May 13, 2011, on News Cast, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: May 13, 2011
Location of sighting: Basking Ridge, New Jersey, USA




20 miles from New York City something fell from the sky and crashed on the grass throwing up the dirt and spilling it over four meters away. What fell from the sky is baffling everyone, because when someone went to investigate a few hours later, they found an empty hole. Whatever it was that fell, survived and left. Or perhaps someone (MIB) got there first and took the craft or probe.




The unidentified flying object landed near the front of a local homeowner's yard. Early suspicions were that it was a space rock but that remains unclear, because whatever object made the huge hole left no clues. It left no metal, no scorch marks, and no animal tracks. So far investigators have ruled out something falling off a passing airplane, fireworks or kids playing a prank as the cause of the mysterious hole.



Bill McCain, an astronomer at the nearby Raritan Valley Community College Planetarium, told PIX 11 News, "It is a mystery, because I was over there and I saw it. All the details point towards something impacting. It also looks like there could have been an explosion from underground, but that's all been ruled out. The only thing left is an impact, but we can't find anything that actually caused the impact so it's really a mystery. I'm as baffled as you are at this point."

Neighbor Leo Labbe told PIX 11 News, "It's a mystery. We don't now what happened, I was in the house, and heard absolutely nothing, until I came out at 4 o'clock and there was an army of police cars and everything else here...we haven't a clue what happened...public service and the gas company came along and took all kinds of tests - they did sniff tests for gas - there was no electrical interruption. It's just a bizarre thing that I've never seen before and probably never will again!"

College Football: Why Paul Pasqualoni REALLY Got The UConn Job

The news that Paul Pasqualoni was hired as the head football coach at UConn—over perceived favorite, Mark Whipple—came as a surprise to some.

Not that the hire, at least on the surface, is a horrible one. Pasqualoni had a lot of success at Syracuse during his 14-year tenure—including multiple Big East Championships in the 1990's—but it's just curious given the fact that many were expecting Mark Whipple to get the nod.

So, what gives?

Well, according to at least one publication, the hiring of Pasqualoni had less to do with his mass appeal to the student body than it did with his ability to recruit the heck out of the northeast region—particularly the state of Connecticut.

A little less than a week ago, the football committee for the Connecticut High School Coaches Association sent a letter to the University of Connecticut imploring them to hire the former Syracuse coach as their next head coach.

Steve Filippone, the head coach at Daniel Hand High School in Madison, CT, had this to say at that time, "...we’re not trying to impose any kind of pressure or anything like that. We understand that’s not the way you pick a coach for a major college football team. They have a lot bigger issues to consider. We simply felt that this is an opportunity for us to say, in a pretty clear way, that we feel this man has the type of skill set, the type of reputation, that could clearly work with us … for whatever value that is."

Well, the value must have been pretty high as the Huskies definitely will be looking to lock down the talent in-state as well as reach deeper into the talent pools of both New Jersey and New York.

What better man to do so than Pasqualoni? A known commodity on the recruiting trail.

So, while the hire may not be turning heads, it makes plenty of sense and, in the end, UConn could end up having the last laugh in the Big East—if the gamble pays off.

Oh, and that whole Syracuse/UConn rivalry just got a lot more interesting.
