Summary

In January 1966, a witness in Waverly, New York, reported an unidentified aerial phenomenon. They described three lights, one larger than the others, appearing yellow in color. The object remained visible for 30 minutes, suggesting a detailed observation. No physical evidence was found, but the witness claimed the objects moved around a central point. This case, part of Project 10072, was analyzed by the U.S. Air Force as part of their research into unidentified aerial phenomena.

The testimony includes details about the exact location and time, although there are some reading difficulties due to processing errors. The report mentions that Jupiter was at 90 degrees azimuth and 40 degrees elevation at that time, helping to place the observation in an astronomical context. Despite the lack of physical evidence, the testimony was considered valid for analysis, reflecting the Air Force's methodology for collecting information on UFO sightings.
