PROJECT 10073 RECORD — Port Washington, New York, 3 November 1966

On November 3, 1966, at approximately 7:35 PM, a witness traveling south on Port Washington Boulevard in Port Washington, New York, observed a stationary, glowing object. The witness, who identified themselves as a former CIA employee, former Pan Am Airways pilot, and current high school teacher, was stopped at a red light near the intersection of Port Washington Boulevard and Northern Boulevard when they first noticed the object above some tall elm trees in a heavily wooded residential area. The witness noted that the object was egg-shaped, approximately two and a half feet long, and emitted a distinct glow without any visible projections. The witness opened their car window to get a better view, at which point the object reappeared about 50 feet in front of them at a height of approximately four feet. The object then moved horizontally and smoothly in a half-circle movement toward the southeast. The witness reported that the object did not diffuse light like a street lamp or bulb and made no noise. The witness stated that they had not made a report previously but felt compelled to document the event. The official Project 10073 record classifies the incident as a 'Possible (AIRCRAFT)' sighting, noting that there was heavy aircraft traffic in the area and that the description was similar to other reported aircraft sightings.
