Indian Point Nuclear Plant, New York: Three Guards See Boomerang-Shaped UFO — First Sighting
At 10:15 p.m., three security guards at New York's Indian Point nuclear power plant watched a massive dark boomerang shape with ten brilliant lights approach and hover slowly over the facility for about 15 minutes before it pivoted 90 degrees and left. It was the first of two Indian Point sightings in 1984; the object returned on July 24, 1984. Sources differ on the date of this first sighting: July 14 ("ten nights" before July 24) or June 14 (Imbrogno via The Journal News).

Background
At 10:15 p.m., three security guards at New York's Indian Point nuclear power plant watched a massive dark boomerang shape approach. With an array of ten brilliant lights, it moved slowly over the facility. After hovering in gusty wind for 15 minutes, the structure pivoted 90 degrees and left.
Return Visit
The object returned on July 24, 1984, when it hovered over Reactor #3 and the plant's alarm system failed. That incident is documented as a separate event.
Date
Sources disagree on the date of this first sighting. Dan Wright places it ten nights before the July 24 incident, i.e. July 14, 1984. Imbrogno, as quoted by The Journal News and Wikipedia, names June 14, 1984.
