Red UFO observed in West Nyack in 1963

Summary

In November 1963, a witness in West Nyack, New York, spotted a red, oval-shaped object in fog or rain. The object appeared suddenly, without sound, and disappeared behind trees. It was estimated to be about 6-7 miles away and traveling at 500 mph. The sighting lasted only five seconds, but the witness left a clear description of the object.
