UFO with tail and salmon stripe in Tenafly

Summary

In September 1963, a witness in Tenafly, New Jersey, observed a solid object with two or three tails, silver in color with a salmon stripe. The object disappeared behind a hill after moving north at an estimated speed of 600 mph. Despite the detailed description, authorities concluded it could be an aircraft due to contrails and vertical tails. The report, part of Project 10073, does not include photographs but provides a precise description of the object's color and movement.

The witness, a 12-year-old, saw the object while cycling near the municipal center. The report details the duration of the sighting (2 minutes and 30 seconds) and the estimated distance (5 miles). Although the witness and a companion thought it might be a flying saucer, authorities found no conclusive evidence of an unexplained phenomenon.
