AI-Generated Summary
A USAF Captain reported a sighting of an object in New Bedford, Massachusetts, on May 29, 1965. The military investigation concluded the object was a meteor.
On May 29, 1965, at 1946 EST, a USAF Captain driving eastward in New Bedford, Massachusetts, observed an object he initially described as an 'apparent unusual falling meteorite.' The witness noted that the object resembled a helicopter with windows and a bright white light. As the object moved northward, it displayed red and green colors before dissipating in a manner similar to a meteor. The witness reported that the weather was clear, though he noted the possibility of thin cirrus clouds because the stars were not bright. He also specified that the observation was made through the curved safety glass of a 1961 Chevrolet. The official conclusion recorded on the FTD form is 'Astronomical (METEOR),' with a note added by an evaluator stating the conclusion is 'subject to change if duration proves to be long.' The report explicitly states the object was not considered an unidentified object.
