UFO seen in South Tewksbury in 1960

Summary

In August 1960, a woman in South Tewksbury, Massachusetts, observed two objects in the night sky. The first was a combination of blue and red colors, while the second shone as brightly as the moon on a clear night. Both moved southeast and appeared between nearby trees, about 200 feet away. The witness, who had arthritis, could not get out of bed to get a better view, limiting her perspective. The official report classified the case as "insufficient data," since there was only one witness, no photos were taken, and no visible trails or sounds were reported.

Officer Warren W. McCurdy responded to the report by explaining that the phenomenon could not be identified and that the case would be sent to the Air Technical Intelligence Center for further analysis. The witness insisted the objects were close to the ground, not in the sky, and that they were not fireflies or astronomical phenomena. Despite doubts, the testimony was detailed and coherent, though not enough for a conclusive evaluation. This case is another example of how UFO reports often remain unsolved due to the lack of objective evidence.
