The Stonehenge is a residential apartment building on Boulevard East in the Woodcliff section of North Bergen, New Jersey in the United States.[3] Situated adjacent to North Hudson Park,[4] the building was constructed in 1967 during a high-rise building spree[5][6][7][8] and at 369 feet (112 m) is among the tallest buildings in the area and once one of the tallest in the state.[9] The 34-story building has 356 apartments and 5 levels of indoor parking.[4][10]

Stonehenge incident

[edit]

The "Stonehenge Incident" or the "North Hudson Park UFO sightings" occurred on January 12, 1975. According to George O'Barski, while driving he heard static over his radio and saw in North Hudson Park a dark, round "spacecraft" with brightly lit windows hovering over the ground. Ten small, hooded, identically dressed figures emerged from the UFO, dug up soil and collected it in bags before returning to the craft. O'Barski returned to the site the next day and found the holes. Months later, O'Barski told the story to ufologist Budd Hopkins, who with other ufologists found independent witnesses (including a doorman at the Stonehenge) who also reported seeing the UFO. The incident was reported by Hopkins in The Village Voice,[11] his 1981 book Missing Time,[12] and also in local newspapers.[13][14]
