Green UFO Sighted in Lynbrook, New York

Summary

In April 1968, a civilian in Lynbrook, New York, reported a brief aerial phenomenon that lasted two seconds. The observer described a bright green object moving rapidly toward the ground. Although the observer could not identify the object with certainty, military investigators concluded it was likely a green meteor, a common explanation for bright sky phenomena. The official military response was informative but non-conclusive, encouraging the civilian to complete a detailed questionnaire for further evaluation. This document reflects the typical approach of the time, where UFO reports were handled cautiously and conventional explanations were considered before exploring other possibilities.
