Project 10073 Record: UFO Observation, 22 Nov 66, Youngsville, New York

This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Youngsville, New York, on November 22, 1966. The witness, a woman acting as a spokesperson for a group including her husband and neighbors, observed two objects for approximately one hour. The objects were described as having no discernable shape, though later modified to a vaguely defined oval, and were noted for their brightness, displaying a pale green color that shifted between yellow and red. One object remained stationary while the other moved in a smooth arc from the northwest to the east. The witness used binoculars to aid her observation. The weather was reported as clear with 15-plus miles visibility and calm winds. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) of the Air Force initially concluded there was insufficient data for a scientific evaluation and requested the witness complete FTD Form 164. The investigating officer, Captain Henry I. Pierce, later hypothesized that the sighting might have been a C-124 aircraft flying along the V34 airway toward Stewart AFB, noting that such aircraft were new to the area and could appear strange to observers, particularly with their flashing red and green lights. The witness was described as being 'more than normally shaken' by the experience.
