This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a UFO sighting reported on October 30, 1966, in Centerport, Long Island, New York. The report was taken by an individual named Am Hampl on October 31, 1966. The witness, a civilian who had previously reported several alleged UFO sightings to the Air Force, described observing two round, egg-shaped objects that appeared as twinkling stars. The objects were reported to be stationary in the southern sky for approximately 45 seconds before disappearing. The witness claimed that their own drawing of the objects matched a picture referenced in the Barney Hill sighting at Lincoln, New Hampshire. The Air Force concluded the report was 'unreliable.' The document includes standard administrative instructions for handling UFO reports under Air Force Regulation (AFR) 200-2, including procedures for contacting the Combat Alert Center, base weather, and the Grumman Aircraft Operations Section to rule out conventional explanations. It also provides contact information for the Office of Information for press inquiries.
