Amityville reported light point observation — December 15, 1961

On or during December 15, 1961, at or near Amityville, New York, United States, the source reports the following sequence: BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING 3 boys of Amityville, N.Y. observed Object which appeared to hover, move to new location and descend again. Possible that this was an aircraft that was not observed long enough to provide indication of length of time which was indicated in report would have been too long for a meteor. Sometimes there a boom followed by engine racket...etc. They reported that at about 10:45 PM the night of Thursday, December 14th, 1961, the three boys sighted an enormous lighted object in the sky over Amityville, which they judged to be about 2000 feet in the air. I couldn't explain it either, so we turned around and went to Point C, to observe it better. Here, Object dropped down towards us and hovered at X. Object turned now and we saw it perfectly shaped object (strange sound, similar to a high pitched turbo whine sound up and down), this light was so bright it would almost blind you and extinguish all other lights in the area. Within 2-3 seconds, the thing disappeared heading south. Sound stopped a short time later. When they reported to Ho on December 15th, 1961, they were equipped with a camera and a pair of binoculars, and were dressed in warm clothing.
