North Bergen looks and feels like any other northern New Jersey city, but it is actually the center of some pretty alarming alien spottings.

One of the very first sightings took place back in 1975 inside the James J. Braddock Park. Several people who were living inside the Stonehenge apartment building across the street reported seeing glowing orbs in the park. One resident even wrote an article for the Village Voice about the sighting—he also reported seeing tiny creatures in helmets wandering inside the park. This was the first case investigated by the late UFO researcher, author, and artist Budd Hopkins.
