Eric Smith, a former field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network in Rhode Island, has documented hundreds of cases of unexplained phenomena in the state, including a close encounter between two fishermen and 20 bluish glowing humanoid figures.
The incident, which took place 25 years ago, is one of many unexplained events in Rhode Island, despite a recent study by gambling site Great Lakes Stakes naming the state as one of the least likely places to encounter UFOs and paranormal activity.
Smith, who now volunteers for the National UFO Reporting Center, believes the study lacks scientific value and under-reports the number of unusual events in the state. Both the Mutual UFO Network and the National UFO Reporting Center aim to avoid errant reporting by training field investigators on how to identify and interview witnesses.

“Despite Pentagon statements that it disbanded a once-covert program to investigate unidentified flying objects, the effort remains underway — renamed and tucked inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, where officials continue to study mystifying encounters between military pilots and unidentified aerial vehicles.”
