Wilson: August 10, 1965; Suffolk County, New York
At around 8:50 p.m. local time, a large circular object with
over 100 lights was observed at very low altitude in the
vicinity of Riverhead, N.Y. by an airman. The object
hovered for 5-10 minutes and then flew away towards Montauk. Around
9:15 p.m., at the Suffolk County AFB, a call came in of someone
reporting a UFO in the vicinity of Southhampton. A request was made to
divert a KC-97 aircraft (AG 506) to make a run on the UFO and try
and identify it. This was done with the help of GCA Vectors. The pilot
saw the object but was unable to identify it. (Dan Wilson) |
