Pulsating Star-Like Object Seen in New York

Summary

A civilian in New York reported observing two similar objects resembling pulsating stars. The objects changed colors from green to yellow to red as they moved slowly across the sky. The witness observed them for one hour and noted no erratic movements, which caught the attention of the investigator. Although the observer was somewhat vague about the direction and flight path, the slow and steady movement suggested astronomical bodies. The investigating officer noted that the description was somewhat imprecise but concluded the sighting was consistent with celestial phenomena.

The report details that the objects appeared in the northwest quadrant at 30 degrees above the horizon and disappeared in the northeast quadrant at 23 degrees. The observer, a 30-year-old attorney, used binoculars. Despite no physical evidence or photographs being found, the responsible officer considered the account reliable, though it did not exactly match known flight paths. It was suggested that the phenomenon could have been caused by a thermal inversion or atmospheric optical effect.
