Narrative

On 21 May 1955 at 0300Z a Ground Observer Corps post in the vicinity of LaGuardia Airport, New York City reported a single round, bright white light. The object moved east then returned, faded after 4 minutes of observation through binoculars at dusk. The 646th AC&W Squadron at Highlands AFS New Jersey reported via 1/Lt David A. Brown, Senior Director. Believed to be landing lights from aircraft due to proximity to LaGuardia and Idlewild airports.
