UFO sighted in Rego Park, New York

Summary

In June 1968, a 13-year-old boy in Rego Park, New York, reported an unidentified flying object. He described a bright orange light resembling a saucer with portholes. Through binoculars, the object appeared about the size of a half-dollar. The observer, who had previous UFO experience, stated it wasn't an airplane or jet due to the lack of noise. The object moved in a straight line before suddenly disappearing, leaving a column of smoke. The Air Force requested more information for a scientific investigation, but the sighting lacked sufficient data for a definitive conclusion.
