REPORT OF UNIDENTIFIABLE FLYING OBJECT

This report is submitted in the belief that I observed a satellite or "Sputnik" sighting which was in an orbit contrary or opposite to the two "Sputniks" now circling the earth.

On 5 December 1957, I was driving North on the New York Thruway and was one mile south of the Saugatauries exit. The object was observed to appear to the left, or east, of the bottom star in the Big Dipper. That is, the constellation was projected parallel to the horizon and the two stars on the right side of the dipper were pointing upward to the North Star. It was to the left …

The object appeared to move very fast, and no sound (of jet exhaust) was heard. The speed of movement from north to west was much faster than the speed of movement from a point west to 10 degrees or 15 degrees south of west. This indicated direction from NE to SW. The object appeared to be very distant and did not compare at all with other aircraft sightings in the area at the time.
