AI-Generated Summary
A Connecticut highway engineer reported observing three luminous, high-speed objects on August 21, 1965. The Air Force investigated the report via Project Blue Book and concluded the objects were birds.
This document details a UFO sighting reported by a Senior Highway Engineer from the Connecticut Highway Department. On August 21, 1965, at approximately 10:00 PM, the witness and four other individuals observed three luminous, circular, and hazy objects on Route U.S. 7-10, north of Danbury, Connecticut. The witness described the objects as moving in a circular, cross-crossing pattern for about ten minutes before accelerating at an 'incredible speed' and disappearing. The witness, who claimed professional experience in stellar observations, insisted the event was not a hallucination. The report was forwarded to U.S. Senator Thomas J. Dodd, who requested information on behalf of his constituent. The Air Force, through Project Blue Book, evaluated the report and provided a formal response, ultimately concluding that the description of the objects was consistent with birds viewed at night.
Believe me this was no mirage or hallucination. It was real.
