AI-Generated Summary
A civilian witness in Roscoe, New York, reported two blinking objects on October 30, 1966. The USAF investigation concluded the objects were likely aircraft conducting night operations.
This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a civilian sighting of two unidentified objects in Roscoe, New York, on the night of October 30, 1966. The witness, an adult female, reported observing two objects with no clear outline, each displaying red and white blinking lights. The objects were initially observed in the East at a 30-degree elevation, appearing stationary, before moving rapidly through the zenith and disappearing near the western horizon. The observation lasted approximately 10 minutes under exceptionally clear weather conditions. The investigating officer, Captain John W. Cannon of the 4650th CSS, evaluated the report and concluded that the objects were likely aircraft. This conclusion was supported by the presence of local night flight operations and the proximity of the Victor 34 airway. The report notes that no physical evidence or photographs were obtained, and the witness had no prior experience with such sightings but maintained the report was reliable.
Due to the flying conditions outlined in paragraph G and the close proximity of possible air traffic as outlined in paragraph J, it is my opinion that object #1 was most probably an aircraft proceeding northwest on Victor 34.
