SUBJECT: Observation of an Unusual Flight
As On the evening of Saturday, 16 July 1960, at about 2300 hours, my
wife was lying on a cot on the patio of our home at

Syosset, New York. It was a beautiful, clear evening. A multitude of
stars were visible. While observing the stars she noticed two strange
objects streaking across the sky in a northerly direction. At first she
thought the; might be “falling stars” but realized this was not so, when
she observed that the course of these objects was not regular.

2. I was in the house at the time and she called to me. I obtained a
glimpse of these objects and then for some minutes (approximately five or
ten) I scanned the sky. Then I observed two objects at what appeared a

great height, streaking across the sky in a southerly direction. I
pointed these out to my wife, and we both watched as these objects flew
@ slightly varied or a vacillating course, approximately in a southerly
direction, then, somewhat abruptly changed their course to a westerly
direction.

3. No sound was made, these objects appeared to be at a great height,
and they emitted a reddish-orange light.

4, In discussing this phenomena with an acquaintance, he informed me
that one of his neighbors, 2 @QaMMMMNMMMMM® woo I believe resides at |

qqpammpmmaaag, Syosset, 2 former officer in the Air Force, had
observed four of these objects in one flight on the same evening that

my wife and I had observed the phenomena outlined above.

5. In view of the interest of the Air Force in observations of this
kind, I have written this account so that you may evaluate it and
compare it with other reports you may have received
