AI-Generated Summary
A civilian witness in Brooklyn reported a two-minute sighting of two red, bell-shaped objects on March 11, 1967. The investigating officer dismissed the report as likely influenced by the witness's interest in UFO literature and his desire for attention.
This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 74-year-old retired lawyer and judge in Brooklyn, New York, on March 11, 1967. The witness, a subscriber to 'Flying Saucer Review,' reported observing two objects—one bell-shaped and one spherical—hovering in the sky for approximately two minutes before moving due west. The witness described the objects as dim red, with the larger object appearing solid with a prolongated top. During the observation, the witness noted a bright, fiery light emanating from the objects for 4-5 seconds before they disappeared. The investigating officer, Captain Stephen Levine of the 4650th Combat Support Squadron at Stewart AFB, interviewed the witness and expressed significant skepticism regarding the report. Captain Levine noted that the witness's account appeared to evolve during their conversation to match information he had read in 'Look' magazine and 'Flying Saucer Review.' The officer characterized the witness as an elderly, lonely individual seeking attention and concluded that while the described objects did not correspond to known aircraft, the area in question experienced high-density air traffic. The file includes the official project record form and a personal letter from the witness to the Base Commander at Stewart AFB detailing his observations and his personal conviction in the existence of extraterrestrial flying machines.
During my conversation with him, his description of his sighting would evolve into what he had read and not actually saw.
