Middletown, NY - Sphere

Posssible UFO seen near Middletown, NY on the November night of the great northeastern black-out of 1965.

I am inspired to submit my report after reading two recent reports on NUFORC, one from a man reporting a sighting that he witnessed 37 years ago, and another from a family in Pennsylvania reporting a "fire-ball" shaped object which parallels very similarly to what I observed many years ago in November of 1965.

I had to look up the date of the great northeastern black-out on Wikipedia. I couldn't remember the exact date on which it occurred. On the evening of November 9th just before sundown I was traveling between Middletown, NY to Pine Bush, NY to attend the open house in the school where I taught. On the way I observed to the east an extremely bright blueish-green ball going in an arcing trajectory passing from one cumulus cloud to another. It left no smoking trail and it was to me the most spectacular and unusual "meteorite" I had ever seen. It was lost from view for a moment while I was driving and as I regained an unobstructed view I was anxious to see where it had made impact. But there was no indication of an impact... which I expected to be quite spectacular! When I arrived at school the power was out and we were all sent home. While I was there, however, I overheard conversations about people seeing a UFO hovering over the railroad station in Middletown. While driving home, I kept my eyes to the sky.
