Yellow UFO seen over Saratoga Springs in 1960

Summary

In April 1960, a witness in Saratoga Springs, New York, observed a round, bright object moving steadily across the sky. The object, described as larger than a star and with a steady yellow glow, was seen for between 2 and 3 minutes. Although the observer did not see other objects or have radar confirmation, the report could not determine its exact nature. The weather was clear, with no clouds obstructing the view, and the object did not display behavior typical of a meteor or astronomical event.

The lack of additional data and the absence of other witnesses led to the report being classified as "insufficient for evaluation." Despite the description and duration suggesting an aerial observation, no flight records could be obtained due to the delayed submission of the report. The sole witness, a former U.S. Navy officer considered reliable, could not identify the object or find a conventional explanation.
