Project Blue Book Sighting Report — Dover, New Jersey, 11 November 1966

This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report filed by a 16-year-old student from Dover, New Jersey, regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on the night of November 11, 1966. The witness, while walking near the corner of Conger and Stephen Streets, observed a white-yellow object moving across the sky. The witness described the object as resembling two shallow dishes placed on top of one another. According to the witness, the object moved from right to left, slowed down as it passed overhead, and then disappeared. During this disappearance, which lasted approximately 22 seconds, the witness heard a noisy, propeller-driven aircraft. After the aircraft passed, the object reappeared, appearing smaller and higher in the sky before vanishing entirely within a few seconds. The witness estimated the altitude at approximately 10,000 feet and noted that the object made no sound. The Air Force initially sent a letter to the witness on December 15, 1966, stating that the information provided was insufficient for evaluation and requesting the completion of FTD Form 164. The final record, which includes the witness's sketches and narrative, concludes that the object was likely an aircraft, noting that the description provided by the witness is consistent with such an observation.
