Sighting report: Cigar shapped object over the Hudson River, Albany N.Y. 30 years or so ago
This report is being filed decades after the purported event occured and it is additionally being filed by me as a third hand account.
As near as I can presently figure, some time in the early to mid 1970's, my Aunt was having a phone conversation with my father whom was at his home several miles away, when suddenly she stopped talking, gasped and then stated something to the effect of, Oh, my God I just saw a cigar shaped thing out my window. After her initial shock and upon regaining her composure she attempted to further describe what she saw and what course of action the object she viewed had done.
To the best of my recollection and again the following is admittedly classified third-hand information, she advised my father that what she saw was rather long 2 - 300 feet in length. She also stated that it travelled from the South to the North and from her perspective, likely directly over the Hudson River which is approximately one half a mile East of her home, in North Albany about 3/4 of a mile from Albany's boundry line with Menands, New York to the North.
Unfortunately every family member from that generation has passed and therefore I am unable to secure any more info. I believe, dozens or more other people also saw the object, however as of this writing, I haven't attempted to confirm this information.
If one reading this report recalls this event, please file a report.
