UFO Report — New Windsor, New York, 30 March 1967

On 30 March 1967, at approximately 2005 local time, a civilian observer in New Windsor, New York, reported a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon. The observer, a 12-year-old student, described the object as a glowing mass consisting of four square lights, comparable in size to six stars grouped together. The object was red and white in color and emitted a soft humming noise. The sighting lasted between four and five minutes, during which the object moved from the south to the east and then to the northeast. The weather conditions at the time were clear with calm winds and a temperature of 43°F. The report was formally submitted by Lt. Col. D. C. Boyd of the 46030 Air Base Group at Stewart Air Force Base to the Foreign Technology Division (FTD). Captain Peter M. Green, a pilot with Detachment 1 of the 4650th Combat Support Squadron, investigated the report. In his comments, Captain Green noted that the observer, identified in the report as Edward Grant, had likely witnessed one of the local Stewart AFB aircraft that were operating in the area during that time period. The official conclusion reached by the investigating officer was that the sighting was an aircraft. The observer's reliability was assessed as poor.
