Summary

In October 1966, two witnesses in Mensey, New York, observed a football-shaped object moving north. Suddenly, it turned northeast, accelerated, and climbed rapidly. During the turn, two red lights appeared to merge into one. Upon colliding with a white object, there was a flash, and the object shook before vanishing into a cloud. The witnesses, UFO enthusiasts, insisted it wasn’t an aircraft, though the official report suggested it could be a common aerial observation.

The report includes weather details, such as a strong thermal inversion at 4500 feet, which might have distorted the visual perception. After speaking with the witnesses, the investigator concluded there was no physical evidence and that nearby air routes made a conventional explanation more likely. Despite this, the witnesses offered no further details and remained steadfast in their experience, highlighting the complexity of UFO reports and the difficulty in classifying them.
