UFO in the shape of a top over Newburgh, New York

Summary

An object described as a bright top appeared in the sky over Newburgh, New York, in March 1967. Witnesses observed it for 15 to 25 minutes, noting its unique shape and bright red color on the bottom. The object made a sharp turn westward and then disappeared instantly. Despite a detailed description, there were no photographs or physical evidence, complicating identification. The Air Force concluded it could have been an aircraft landing, though witnesses did not recognize it as such.

The report mentions that the observers, a family from Newburgh, saw an object with white and red lights behaving unusually. Although the responsible officer considered the possibility of an aircraft, no air traffic was reported in the area at that time. The lack of precise data on the time and duration of the sighting complicated the evaluation. The document includes drawings of the object and a detailed narrative, but no physical evidence or additional testimonies confirmed the nature of the phenomenon.
