UFO seen as plane with lights in circle in Brooklyn

Summary

A Brooklyn, New York, civilian reported a UFO sighting on March 31, 1963. The object was observed for about one minute and described as lights forming a circle, resembling an aircraft with a lighted banner. It moved slowly, lower than a commercial plane, and did not appear threatening. Some lights moved like a theater marquee, which caught the witness's attention.

The report notes that the object showed no suspicious features and could have been a conventional aircraft with advertising lights. Although local flight records for that date could not be verified, investigators concluded it was not unusual or a security risk. The case was deemed unimportant and filed as likely conventional.
