Bright object observed over Dorchester in the Boston urban core (1954)

Project Blue Book Case #3185. On August 27, 1954, a bright object was observed over Dorchester — a densely populated neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Dorchester's position within the city meant the sighting occurred beneath the approach corridors for Logan International Airport and near the South Boston Naval Annex. Any unknown in Boston's airspace had to stand out from the constant flow of commercial and military traffic. The case was classified "Unknown."
