Manhasset (Roslyn), New YorkJuly 1955

Insufficient Data

Summary

On July 6, 1955, at Manhasset (Roslyn), New York, a civilian reported one object. The sighting was seen from the ground and lasted about ten to twelve seconds.

The object was a single bright light that crossed the sky from west to east. It was estimated to be at 15,000 feet. There were local thunderstorms and cloud cover at 20,000 feet.

The Air Force card lists the conclusion as lack of data for evaluation. The comments say the brief sighting and little chance of useful follow-up ruled out further investigation.
