Bright object observed over Tenafly on the Hudson River across from Manhattan (1952)

Project Blue Book Case #1183. On May 5, 1952, a bright object was observed over Tenafly, New Jersey — a Bergen County borough on the Hudson River palisades directly across from Manhattan. Tenafly's elevated position on the Palisades cliffs provided panoramic views of the New York City skyline and the George Washington Bridge. Any object in the sky competed with the constant glow and traffic of the world's largest city. The case was classified "Unknown."
