Summary

On August 6, 1956, a civilian near New Rochelle, New York, reported a single object. The sighting lasted about twenty-five minutes and the object moved in an erratic path.

The witness described one orange and white object about the size of a dime held at arm's length. The object appeared to bob and was watched with the naked eye. The OCR of the record card is partly unclear, but it gives the location as near New Rochelle.
