UFO shaped like a football in Saugerties 1966

Summary

A witness described a white object shaped like a football that appeared in the sky over Saugerties, New York, on January 10, 1966. The object remained visible for an hour and a half, moving toward the northwest before disappearing to the west. The report mentions one large object and possibly three smaller ones that separated from it.

The observer, a 30-year-old woman, saw the object at 30 degrees above the horizon. The report includes weather details, such as clear skies and a temperature inversion that might have affected visibility. Although no photos were taken and no physical evidence was found, two police officers also reported seeing the object. The responsible officer suggested the phenomenon could be related to the temperature inversion.
