Cigar-shaped UFO sighted in New York in 1966

Summary

In April 1966, four witnesses in Ellenville, New York, observed an unidentified object described as cigar-shaped for 20 minutes. The object, translucent and with a yellowish-white color, was seen descending from a mountain and gradually disappearing. Although the initial report lacked sufficient details for a thorough evaluation, witnesses noted the object had no bright colors, making it different from other sightings. The object left no physical evidence and was not photographed, but its detailed description and prolonged observation time generated interest.

The Air Force requested witnesses to complete a form for more information. Despite the report not leading to a clear identification, the object was classified as an astronomical phenomenon. Its movement and appearance, along with the lack of conventional explanations, keep this case as an intriguing example of UFO sightings from the 1960s.
