AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A 17-year-old witness reported a triangular UFO sighting in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, on October 1, 1966. The Air Force concluded there was insufficient data for a scientific evaluation.

This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on October 1, 1966, in Stone Harbor, New Jersey. A 17-year-old male witness reported observing a single object that appeared as three triangles with slightly rounded edges. The witness described the object as pale pink at a distance and amber when it flew overhead, noting that it possessed three non-blinking amber lights. The object reportedly moved in a SW-NW-S trajectory, swayed back and forth, and made no sound. The duration of the sighting was estimated at 15 minutes. The witness, who expressed a keen interest in UFO literature, submitted the report to Project Blue Book. The Air Force responded on February 16, 1967, via Colonel James C. Manatt, stating that the data provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. A subsequent letter from Lt. Colonel Barnett B. Young on August 18, 1967, informed the witness that because of the lapse in time, the Air Force was unable to conduct a comprehensive investigation, as air activity records are typically destroyed after thirty days. The information was nonetheless added to the project's database.
