Stationary UFO in Garden City in 1957

Summary

In November 1957, a civilian in Garden City, New York, observed a stationary red-green object for 15 minutes. The sighting occurred at 01:20 local time and was made using binoculars from the ground. Despite the long observation period, no photos were taken and the information provided was limited. The report concluded that there was insufficient data to evaluate the phenomenon, leaving the nature of the object unresolved. This case reflects the difficulty investigators of the time had in identifying sky objects with certainty.

The object showed no apparent movement, ruling out the possibility of a moving aircraft or balloon. However, the astronomical possibility was not dismissed either, though no specific explanation was given. The lack of details such as the number of objects or their course further complicated the evaluation. Cases like this, with incomplete data, were common in files from projects like 10073, where most sightings ended without a clear explanation.
