Thom Reed
Induction:
The incident involving his family and their 1960's diner made United States history in 2015 becoming the 1st UFO related case to be officially inducted into state history as historically significant and true. On November 3, 2015 Governor Charles D. Baker signed and issued a citation formally inducting the Reed encounter and Thom Reed into Massachusetts State history. Following a polygraph exam, and archives by historians that confirmed the incident had altered the national progression of the area, the incident was publicly inducted by State and the Historical Society. This decision was celebrated by the unveiling of a 5000 pound monument with live coverage by ABC News NY. The incident and records are now rightfully part of the Great Barrington Historical Society's Collection.
The Thom Reed UFO incident was selected as the S1 E1 launch of Discover Channel's Alien Mysteries and the S1 E1 launch of Travel Channels Paranormal Paparazzi. Other films include New England Legends and Science Channel's Uncovering Aliens. Reed has been the subject of six (6) documentaries and feature films, with guest appearances on the Fox Morning Show, and the Canada Morning Show. Reed was featured as himself, in films CSI Miami, Inside-out and the 2017 Hollywood Movie “Encounter” with actors Pete Stormare (Bad Boys 2 Fargo & John Wick 2) and Dee Wallace (ET)
Reed is the son of Nancy (Burrows) Reed, FM radio personality for WKZE, owner of Village on the Green Restaurant in Sheffield, MA, who also bred horses. His step-father, Dr. Howard Reed, an Attorney and Connecticut Politician, would legally adopt Reed.
From 1960 through 1962, Reed lived in the home of William Roosevelt, the grandson of President Roosevelt, in Cherry Hills, Colorado. His mother, Nancy and grandmother were employed by the Roosevelt’s with residence on property. By 1963 Reed would move to a home in Sheffield, Massachusetts, just miles from the Barrington Horse Track. In this quaint Norman Rockwell setting, Thom and his family would undergo life altering events. Due to Thom’s vulnerable age these compounded encounters had an enormous impact, crushing his belief system, altering his reality, normalcy and spirit. His recall of Sept 1, 1969 is one of an illuminated craft ascending from the water while exiting the Sheffield Bridge. Their car engulfed in light, weightlessness then a dead silence. An eruption of crickets and then Thom’s standing in an enormous open area reminiscent of an airplane hangar. Grabbed firmly on his left arm and walked to a room where he was placed under cylinder shaped equipment that was lowered from above. An unbearable pain was described as boiling water running throughout the boy’s arms and upper back while restrained to a chair. He and his brother both recall seeing what resembled a very large, and weird insect. The family now back in their station wagon, but his mother and grandmother's locations are reversed, with his mother now in the passenger seat. The incident of September 1, 1969 made news on Barrington's WSBS Radio, as they and the local police department became flooded with reports of a disk shaped object.
Thom and his mother often opened the diner together with a record from the jukebox, then on a full stomach Thom would ride his bike to Sheffield School. Where children also sketched some very personal accounts of what they were witness, and taped them under a chalkboard.
Facts:
The case gained international recognition due to radiation readings, and magnetic anomalies (per the official reports from law enforcement). Thomas Reed’s polygraph test August 4, 2010 was taken at the Advanced Polygraph Institute, he passed with a 99.1%. The case assisted their personal and legally retained attorney Robert Bletchman in adding credible and corroborated testimony, presented by him at the United Nations symposium on October 2, 1992. The objective was to introduce substantiated cases to motivate the U.N. to reconsider 33/426. (Research into unidentified flying objects.) News Anchor Jacqueline Milczarek of CTV News Express Canada confirmed the news on the Reed case discussing the testimony, radiation, magnetic fields and the fact it went before the United Nations on October 2, 1992. Numerous eyewitnesses have submitted notarized testimony to the State and local Historical Societies. Published Historian, Kevin Titus was a witness to the Sept 1st sighting as a child and has endorsed its induction. The son of the Sheffield police officer who maintained the peace in the village Green during those difficult times also gave a notarized testimony. The Village on the Green Restaurant was the center for discussion of the UFO Activity during the 60’s and 70’s. The craft observed was issued a C.E classification. Corn growing in the locality of the sighting was photographed at over 14 feet high, with round corncobs. Odd makings have also been reported in Sheffield corn fields, images can be seen from 2012 and 2013, on BLT Research. WSBS FM Radio broadcast the many calls and sightings of that night in 1969; their letter can be seen in the Roswell UFO Museum, alongside the Reed UFO Case. The UFO Monument is listed on roadside America, and has sparked funding for the expansion of a UFO Memorial Sitting Park, via celebrity sponsorship.
Personal Life:

Gallo invited Reed to Omni-Penthouse on Feb, 26, 1986 on 1965 Broadway NY where he was introduced to slide film and lightbox’s.

Thom filled in as a Talent Agent for Trans Continental Records, and later worked as a TV Producer for the Syndicated Television Show Today's Health with Tennis Pro Chris Evert. This all came to an end one morning when a speeding tractor trailer ran a light in Boca Raton, FL nearly costing Thom his life. He would see his father for the last time at his bedside, before Howard was killed on Oct 2, 2006 the same date their attorney addressed the United Nations. Thom’s wife left him a month later, leaving his 11 year old son to care for him.
The Reed incident is the only case of it's kind to be officially inducted into the United Sates as historically significant and true.
