On May 28, 1965, at approximately 0145Z, a civilian witness in Lynn, Massachusetts, observed an unidentified aerial object. The witness, who describes themselves as a frequent observer of such phenomena, was lying in their yard facing southwest just after dusk. They noted one large star visible near the zenith, but it was not yet dark enough for lesser stars to be seen. The witness's attention was drawn to a light approaching from the south-southwest, moving steadily along a path that brought it near the visible star. A transport plane of a propeller type approached from the west and passed beneath the object, momentarily obscuring it. After the plane passed, the object remained stationary. The witness went inside to retrieve binoculars for a closer look. Upon returning outside, the object was still in the same position. However, when the witness viewed the object through the binoculars, it immediately moved away to the southeast. The witness expressed a personal opinion that the object was an intelligently controlled, powered vehicle. The official conclusion recorded on the report form is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION'.
In my opinion, this was without doubt an intelligently controlled, powered vehicle.
