Project 10073 Record — Middletown, New York, 25 April 1966

This document contains records regarding a UFO sighting reported by Mr. Edvard Bernaski of Middletown, New York, on the night of 25 April 1966. Mr. Bernaski, along with six other individuals, observed a bright white light, described as being approximately the size of a golf ball. The object was noted to be revolving and flashing on and off. The observation lasted between three and five minutes, concluding when the object departed rapidly in a direction from South to West. The report explicitly notes that this sighting was not connected to an apparent meteor sighting that occurred on the same night. The Air Force, through Project Blue Book, attempted to gather more information by sending FTD Form 164 to Mr. Bernaski on 14 July 1966. However, the form was never returned, leading the Air Force to conclude that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation. The official assessment suggests that while the object could have been an aircraft, the lack of follow-up information prevented a definitive identification.
