Narrative

On 10 April 1956 at 0320Z, A/1C George H. Lowman, shift supervisor in the Griffiss AFB control tower, observed a round white-orange object brighter than any star. The object descended at about 530 degrees azimuth over twenty-three minutes, observed both ground-visual and with binoculars. The planet Venus was scheduled to set near the time the object disappeared; one local C-45 was notified and a local F-94 was scrambled. The 4602D AISS concluded the sighting was generated by the planet Venus and was a repeat of earlier reports from the central New York area.
