Alton Bay water search
Anybody know what happened in Alton Bay earlier Sunday afternoon? Saw a large number of first responder doing what appeared to be a search pattern south of Echo Point.

Apparently the ultra light that you probably have seen put a smoke device on last summer, and when somebody saw the smoke, they thought there was a plane crash so reported it. He said somebody told him last year when he put it on that it would happen when someone saw the smoke.

#PIGZFLY - Just a Heads-Up Peeps - Last season I engineered this smoke system - There have been multiple reports of an ultralight crashing or on fire - When I was in the throes of trying to get this to work, some pilots commented that there will be reports of a crash when I use it - Well, they were correct and those concerns are not valid, although I do appreciate your concern
I am raising this issue so hopefully, the police and fire departments do not have to be called constantly This has been a Public Service Announcement 🙂 |

I saw a large trail of smoke on the north/west side of Governor's Island early today. I thought it might be a house fire.
