UFO spotted in 1945 by girls in pool

Summary

In July 1945, two girls aged 11 and 13 swimming in a pool in Bloomingburg, New York, observed an unidentified flying object. The object, described as bright and silvery, appeared to reflect sunlight and made zigzag movements before suddenly disappearing. The girls initially thought it was a star, but quickly realized it was moving too fast. Although they did not report the incident immediately, they later shared the story with their parents. Another witness, a woman driving through the city, also saw the object and confirmed the description. Despite the matching testimonies, local authorities could not identify the object as a conventional aircraft, and no clear explanation was given for the phenomenon.

The story sparked some controversy, as an employee at the location where the sighting occurred confirmed he had not seen the object but acknowledged there could be other witnesses. A representative from Stewart Air Force Base denied the object had come from there. Meanwhile, a local pilot suggested it could have been a reflection of the sun on an airplane, but could not confirm it. NASA did not respond to the case, and the official report classified it as an unexplained sighting. Despite the lack of concrete answers, the case remains a classic example of how multiple testimonies may not be enough to get an official explanation.
