Initial data
Captain Raymond Ryan, first officer William Neff, flight attendant Phyllis Reynolds, and passengers flew in an airliner from Albany in the North. In some moment they saw a bright white light, similar to an airliner heading in to land in Albany.
The white light moved about 90° in the dead ahead position, at a distance of 8-10 miles, and moved at high speed, estimated at approximately 800-1000 miles per hour. After that, he changed the color to orange and seemed to block the way of the airliner and for a short time disappeared.
After some time he reappeared as an orange light again ahead of the aircraft.
Airliner contacted Griffiss AFB, where controllers asked pilot to turn off the light and turn it on to help identify aircraft. He said that the airliner was seen and the orange UFO to the South. The airliner was ordered to maintain course to follow the UFO, skipping its scheduled landing at Syracuse after nearly 30 mins of following the object.
Promised fighter jet interception was not seen. The object disappeared at high speed in the North-West (or North) direction.
