AI-Generated Summary
A 1955 UFO sighting report from New York involving two aircraft mechanics who observed a fast-moving, spinning object. The Air Technical Intelligence Center officially concluded the event was a meteor.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype report detailing a UFO sighting that occurred on November 21, 1955. The report documents observations made by two civilian aircraft mechanics in New York. The witnesses described two distinct visual phenomena: a wedge-shaped, bluish-green object seen overhead for one second, and a round, white object, approximately the size of an orange, observed at dusk. The second object was noted to have a long trail of light, and while there was no sound of a jet engine, the witnesses remarked that a roar heard could have been a truck. The object was described as moving very fast and appearing to spin. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was that the phenomena were astronomical in nature, specifically identifying them as a meteor. The teletype report, sent from Stewart Air Force Base, confirms the filing of the report in accordance with Air Force Regulation 200-2. The document includes technical data such as weather conditions, which were reported as clear, and provides a structured breakdown of the sighting characteristics, including duration, shape, and color. The report serves as a standard record of an aerial phenomenon investigation conducted by the United States Air Force during the mid-1950s.
