Triangular UFO with lights in Rome, New York

Summary

A witness in Rome, New York, observed an object that changed shape between round and triangular over 30 minutes. The object displayed white, red, and blue colors and appeared to have a tail. The 1966 report concluded there was insufficient data for a definitive evaluation. The investigator suggested it might be a star or satellite. Despite the duration of the sighting and detailed description, no physical evidence or photographs were found.

The report is part of the Blue Book Project, which documented thousands of sightings. The observer saw the object move back and forth, hover, and then reverse its path at 7,000 feet. The lack of additional data and the inability to confirm the object's nature led to an inconclusive result. This case reflects the difficulty researchers faced in identifying unconventional aerial phenomena without clear evidence.
