You Said It: UFOs, Black Bears and Speeding Tickets

Patch spotlights user comments from Westchester, Rockland and Putnam's biggest stories this week.

On the alleged sighting of a UFO over Rockland County:

  • "They were Obama Drones checking for landscapers operating leaf blowers."
  • "They might be a little nervous of other strange looking beings that reside in the county."
  • "Some of the wierdos hanging outside Starbucks were seen trying to thumb a ride back home."

On a black bear being spotted in Briarcliff and Ossining:

  • "Aw that's a good story he's not going to hurt anybody just leave him alone." 
  • "Interactions between humans and wild animals rarely turns out well on the animal's behalf... hope the bear makes it back to where he belongs safely."
  • "Leave him be. He just wants garbage, bird food (which is crack to a black bear), fruits you might have in your compost bin, and pet food. Secure that stuff."

On police in Westchester dishing out 125 speeding tickets in Cortlandt:

  • "People drive so fast on that road that they cross to the wrong side. Keep up the ticket pressure!"
  • "How about Route 6 in the evenings! Kids race up and down 90 miles an hour."
  • "How about putting in some freaking traffic lights?"
