Round UFO seen in New York in 1966

Summary

In 1966, a witness in Syosset, Long Island, reported seeing a round object with an orange halo and a silver dot, the size of a table. The object emitted intense light and flashes, and was sitting on a transmission wire. At one point, it looked like lightning had struck the wire. The local electric company confirmed that the wires near the witness's house were sparking, and after trimming the trees, the issue was resolved. Although initially thought to be a supernatural phenomenon, the final explanation pointed to an electrical fault. The report, part of Project 10073, concluded that the observed phenomenon was not a UFO, but an electrical spark.

The report includes details such as the exact time of the sighting, the description of the object, and the precise location. Although no photos were taken and no physical evidence was found, the testimony of the sole witness was enough to record the incident. This case is an example of how UFO reports often have earthly explanations, but also shows the importance of investigating each report with rigor.
