How and Why We Staged the Great UFO Hoax of 2009

In January 2009 a series of strange lights appeared over the backwoods of Morris Plains, New Jersey. For days afterward, the town was abuzz over the mysterious lights, which would soon be dubbed the "Morristown UFO."

The mysterious lights continued to appear, and the story was soon picked up by the local papers, radio, television, and was eventually featured on the Fox News Channel and the History Channel show UFO Hunters. Time after time, UFO enthusiasts confidently stated that the lights could not have been faked...or could they?

Join NYC Skeptics as we learn how Chris Russo and Joe Rudy "set out on a mission to promote rational thinking" and ended up fooling UFO "experts," the media, and the world.
