Bright blue UFO sighted in New Jersey in 1966

Summary

In January 1966, a witness in Wayne, New Jersey, reported a bright blue-white object moving erratically toward the northwest. The witness described the light as resembling an aircraft's strobe light and estimated its speed to be similar to a jet. Although the object made transverse movements and then disappeared, no physical evidence was found, and no photos were taken. The official conclusion pointed to an aircraft, but the unusual movement and the witness's detailed description suggest an intriguing observation that doesn't easily fit conventional explanations.

The report, part of Project 10073, includes details on weather conditions, the exact location, and an evaluation of the testimony. Despite contacting nearby air bases such as McGuire and Stewart AFB, no records of aerial activity matched the sighting. The lack of official confirmation and the precise description by the witness leave open the possibility that it was an unidentified phenomenon.
