OSI 24-365 (Possible MOONDUST) — 1960-12-02 — Preston Road, Terryville, Connecticut

On 2 December 1960 at approximately 1630 hours (dusk, almost dark), Mrs. Gwendolyn Watkins of Preston Road, Terryville CT was called outside by her son and observed a fire-orange object east, less than 200 feet up and about 200 yards away over a pond. Five minutes later the object had moved north and enlarged to about twice its width and seven times its length, changing from fire orange to yellow with irregular rectangular edges. A few minutes later she observed heavy black smoke smelling like burning tire. The Waterbury Sunday Republican of 4 December reported separately that Edward Krampitz and about 10 others at Alcorts Inc. saw an object believed to be a Russian space ship burning in the atmosphere. OSI noted this as a possible MOONDUST case. Lt. Col. Elmer M. Neville signed the report; no further action contemplated.
