🇺🇸 USAF — Project Blue Book
A witness in Brooktondale, New York, reported a round, milky bluish-white object the size of a basketball that appeared every few seconds over the top of a hill. The phenomenon lasted for 2 hours and 10 minutes, which is notably long for a UFO sighting. Despite the extended observation, there were no photographs or radar data. The only relevant clue was the presence of light mist in the area, leading investigators to consider it a possible optical illusion caused by the fog. The report concluded it was likely a searchlight or beacon, though no definitive confirmation was made.
The weather conditions at the time, with variable winds and clear skies, did not provide conclusive evidence of an unidentified object. However, the witness's insistence that the object kept appearing regularly suggests something caught their attention. Although the official report classified it as likely a beacon, the nature of the sighting remains intriguing and not fully explained.
