UFO in Brooklyn seen as a helicopter

Summary

In April 1966, a witness in Brooklyn, New York, reported multiple sightings of an object described as a helicopter. The observer, who was unemployed, claimed to have seen the object on four separate occasions within a week. On one occasion, he said he felt the heat from the object on his back, and on another, he reported that something shot out from it and struck his arm, causing pain and, according to him, preventing him from getting a job. All observations occurred at night, and the witness believed the object was following him. Despite detailed descriptions, authorities concluded the case might have a psychological origin or be influenced by recent UFO publicity.

The official investigation found no physical or photographic evidence and considered the witness not entirely reliable. However, the multiple sightings and coherent descriptions suggest the observer was experiencing something real, although it could not be precisely identified. The final report classified the case as psychological, but did not rule out the possibility that the witness saw something unusual in the sky.
