UFOB Index Card and Teletype Report — Ogdensberg, NY, November 1957

This document consists of a UFOB Index Card and a supporting teletype report regarding an unidentified aerial object observed on November 12, 1957, near Ogdensberg, New York. The sighting was reported by a student at a Ground Observer Corps (GOC) post and a sailor aboard the US Coast Guard Cutter 'Maple'. The object was described as a small, round, bright green and blue light that appeared to be rising and moving toward the west. The duration of the sighting was estimated to be between 10 and 25 minutes. The teletype report, issued by the 655th AC&W Squadron in Watertown, NY, provides further technical details, noting the object's brightness fluctuated and its colors changed from green and blue to white and orange. The object was observed at an altitude of 10 degrees above the horizon. Weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with high, thin, scattered clouds. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating intelligence officers was that the sighting was likely a star, with one note explicitly suggesting it could have been an 'astrological phenomena' (likely intended as astronomical). The report was processed under Air Force Regulation 200-2.
