This document details a UAP sighting report from November 14, 1966, in Washington, D.C. A civilian observer reported seeing a circular object with two distinct lights—one red and one white—while driving. The observer noted that the lights appeared to be revolving as the object traveled in a straight line over the horizon. The observation lasted approximately three minutes. The report was relayed to the Air Force by the observer's husband, and subsequently documented by Captain Kenneth N. Lyon, the Base Operations Duty Officer, who noted that the information was third-hand by the time it reached him. Meteorological data for the time of the sighting indicated clear, calm conditions with a 3-degree Celsius temperature inversion at 2000 feet. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the description was consistent with an aircraft observation, noting that while only one object was observed, it possessed two separate lights. The case was ultimately classified as having insufficient data for a definitive evaluation.
The individual who called this in was relating what his wife told him as he was driving his automobile. By the time I was briefed it was third hand info.
