UFO sighted in Morrisonville in 1966

Summary

In June 1966, a woman in Morrisonville, New York, observed a luminous object in the sky. The object appeared as a yellowish light that twinkled, similar to a star, and remained visible for 30 minutes. The observer, along with her mother, noticed the phenomenon from their window at an early hour of the morning. The object showed no movement or trail, which caused some confusion. Despite the lack of physical evidence, military investigators concluded that the object was likely the planet Saturn, whose position matched the description.

The Air Force analyzed the report and considered factors such as astronomical position and weather conditions. Saturn, known for its yellow glow, was in a position similar to the observed object. Additionally, the clear sky and atmospheric refraction could have made the planet appear larger and brighter than usual. Although the observer lacked technical knowledge, her testimony was considered sincere. In the end, the possibility of an unidentified object was dismissed, attributing the sighting to a misidentification of a celestial body.
