A silver object seen on a windshield reflection

Summary

A train conductor in Castleton, New York, reported a wing-shaped object suddenly appearing in his path. He described a silver object, about the size of a pencil held at arm's length, with no markings or sound. He saw it moving about 50 feet in front of his car, around 15 feet above the ground, making a slight turn before vanishing. The report suggests it might have been a reflection from a farmhouse window on his windshield, though other explanations weren't ruled out.

The air force report labeled it "unidentified," but investigators considered it likely an optical phenomenon. The observer, a 43-year-old man, had a "fair" reliability rating, and the weather was clear with excellent visibility. Despite the brief sighting, the case remains intriguing due to the detailed description and the surrounding context.
