Summary

On July 16, 1953, a witness in Brooklyn, New York, reported an object in the night sky. The source was a civilian.

The witness was lying down on a rooftop and happened to notice the object pass through their line of sight. It looked dull red, like heated iron, and was described as fairly long. It left no vapor trail and made no sound. The witness watched it for a few seconds as it moved in a straight path. It was lost from view in a hazy red glow from city lights and street lights.

In Project 10073, the Air Force's official record system for unidentified flying object reports, this case was marked as astronomical.
