Summary

In September 1966, a witness in Troy, New York, reported a bright object in the sky that initially appeared like a star. Looking out of his house window, he noticed red and green lights, typical of aircraft. The object moved toward him and flew over his building without making any noise. Although the report classified it as an aircraft, the witness mentioned he had seen similar phenomena afterward. The description matches a conventional sighting, but the lack of sound and unusual speed raised some doubts.

The report includes a detailed questionnaire from the U.S. Air Force to gather information about the observation. The witness did not use optical instruments and could not accurately determine the object's altitude. Despite a conventional explanation being considered, the object's description and behavior suggest an observation that doesn't fully fit the norm. This case reflects the complexity of UFO reports and the need for further investigation.
