UFO seen by police in New Rochelle in 1966

Summary

In October 1966, three police officers in New Rochelle observed a bright object in the sky. The phenomenon lasted several minutes and was clearly seen from the ground. The object moved slowly from east to south, without making noise or leaving a trail. Although the witnesses could not determine its exact size or shape, they described it as a bright light, similar to a star. The official report concluded it could be an aircraft, although there was no physical or photographic evidence to confirm it.

The report was reviewed by a USAF officer, who considered it could be the star Sirius, visible during that time of year. However, the possibility of an unexplained sighting was not completely ruled out. The three officers, considered very reliable, did not report any additional details or accompanying phenomena. The case remains unresolved, but no further investigation was taken.
