Sighting Report — Bellingham, Massachusetts, 5 November 1965

On 13 November 1965, a mechanical engineer from Bellingham, Massachusetts, submitted a report to the United States Air Force's Unidentified Flying Object Investigation Committee regarding sightings that occurred on the night of 5 November 1965. The author describes observing a large, pulsating red light at approximately 2030 hours, which was joined by other objects that merged and moved in various directions. At 2045 hours, the author and witnesses moved to a clearing near Hartford Avenue and Farm Street, where they observed two large red oval-shaped lights with smaller white lights between them. The objects were described as having a silvery, blunt-nosed fuselage and were heard only as air rushing over them. The author attempted to film the objects with a 35mm camera but noted that the film likely only captured the leader strip. The document includes an enclosure: a newspaper clipping from the Woonsocket Call dated 10 November 1965, which reports on similar sightings by local youths, including Tommy Nichols and Robert Hebert, who described objects that grew larger and separated into two. The author concludes by noting that these red pulsating objects had been observed in the area for several months, though previously they had appeared singly.
