Silent Over the Hudson: The 1980's UAP Wave Over the Hudson Valley (The UAP Disclosure Collection) Paperback – February 4, 2026

Between 1982 and 1986, residents of New York’s Hudson Valley experienced a wave of unexplained aerial sightings unlike anything before or since. Night after night, massive silent craft were reported drifting low over roads, rivers, and neighborhoods—sometimes witnessed by dozens, sometimes by hundreds, often by police officers and trained observers.At the peak of the phenomenon, on March 24, 1983, emergency lines across multiple counties were flooded with calls describing the same object moving across the sky in real time. The event forced local authorities, media outlets, and civilian investigators to confront a mystery unfolding in plain sight.In Silent Over the Hudson, author M.E. Dorvee reconstructs this extraordinary period with investigative rigor and narrative clarity. The book examines:The earliest sightings and how the pattern emergedDetailed descriptions of the objects’ shape, lighting, and movementThe role of law enforcement, aviation authorities, and the mediaCivilian UFO investigators working before the internet ageSkeptical explanations, including aircraft misidentification and psychologyMilitary secrecy, classified airspace, and emerging stealth technologyWhy many witnesses refused publicity—and still stand by their accountsHow modern UAP disclosures reshape the significance of the case todayRather than pushing a single conclusion, Silent Over the Hudson follows the evidence wherever it leads—acknowledging what can be explained, what cannot, and what was never properly investigated at all.This is a story about credibility and ridicule, silence and spectacle, and the uneasy space between skepticism and wonder. It is about what happens when ordinary people encounter something extraordinary—and are left without answers.Decades later, the Hudson Valley UAP wave remains unresolved.And that may be the most important part of the story.
