really exciting films and special guests. He talked about Alec Baldwin’s heroic efforts this summer, hosting the SummerDocs, saying he was, “really great.” As a recent member of the Board, Baldwin has lent tremendous support and knowledge, according to Nugent. I’m really looking forward to this documentary because it basically spans a vital part of my life. I went to both Shea Stadium and next door to the 1964 World’s Fair that first season. I watched Casey Stengel manage the Mets and remember Ron Hunt’s great 1963 rookie season, only to be beaten out by some guy named Pete Rose for the N.L. Rookie of the Year Award. However in the All-Star game played at Shea in 1964, Hunt started instead of Rose, to the delight of the Mets’ fans at Shea that July day. I was there for the Mets first shut-out win in the ballpark and remember the amazement of the huge scoreboard that first season.
I also attended New York Jets football games in the stadium, marveling at how the field boxes moved on the tracks to make a prime football viewing stadium. Who could forget those old banner days or the buzz the whole city felt when the Beatles landed by helicopter to play their famous Shea Stadium concert? David Nugent said that the documentary has some really great footage of things that any true New Yorker will enjoy. I concluded that since Billy Joel’s production company was behind this film, the parts that trace his career will be favorably skewed as well as a hair more expansive. I am excited to see him and fellow Hampton homeowner Paul McCartney perform those few tunes together at Shea. Lastly I look forward to watching great moments of my life’s timeline condensed into a film that will most likely touch and rekindle so many fires in all of us who knew what Shea Stadium was about—winter, spring, summer and fall. Nugent let me know that no one will be disappointed when they watch these slivers of Americana on the big screen. It should be a great way to end the 2010 HIFF summer docs series, and an exciting prelude to the Columbus weekend 2010 HIFF, which lasts five days. Tickets may be purchased at guildhall.org, or at the Guild Hall Box Office. The 18th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival will take place over Columbus Day Weekend, October 7 – 11, 2010.

whole file on U.F.O. sightings on the Island, but especially on this one. He insists that Congressman George Hochbrueckner start a formal Congressional investigation to study the events of September 28, 1989 and he passed around a petition, which many people signed, urging him to do just that. Ford says that his information about the superconductor weapon came from a scientist at the Brookhaven National Lab who, for obvious reasons, remains anonymous. He says that he has a report from a family that witnessed a blue-white light down on the dunes, which Ford says he believes was the plasma field being materialized by the charging of the superconductor weapon. But there is another explanation. On the evening of September 28, 1989, a 44foot Hattaras fishing boat began taking on water in Moriches Bay approximately four and a half miles from the inlet. Coast Guard Group Moriches was dispatched and in the darkness conducted a search and rescue operation to find the vessel. In Westhampton Beach, the Air National Guard was mobilized and helicopters took off and proceeded to drop aerial flares so the Coast Guard could have a better look. The fishermen were found and their ship towed successfully to shore. Had this rescue operation gone on right in the middle of a desperate battle to save the planet from an alien invasion? Rowe, the B.N.L. spokesperson, had this to say: “People believe what they would like to believe.”
