Initial data
Aircraft Mohawk Airlines DC-3 was flying at a speed of 3000' in good daylight visibility below a 4000', approximately 15 miles East of Utica (state of new York), in the direction East-Southeast (ESE), in Albany (new York), at a speed of 160 knots.
And the pilot and co-pilot saw an object "fell" on top of the back on their plane and were about 500 feet above their altitude, in the direction that made an angle of 20 degrees with the vertical when he crossed the windshield. They estimated the length of an object about 150'.
He was described as "light gray, almost round, with a Central line.... Under the line there were several (at least four) of the window, which radiated bright blue-green light. It does not rotate, and walked right up. The lights seemed to have slightly changed color from greenish to bluish or Vice versa (when the object has receded)".
A few minutes after his disappearance, the other two aircraft (one, the colonial DC-3, another number is not known) said that they saw it and wondered, did anybody else's.
Control tower Albany also reported that they saw some object.

Original news
A Mohawk Airlines DC-3 was cruising at 3000′ in good daylight visibility below a 4000′ overcast, about 15 miles E of Utica, N.Y., on a heading ESE to Albany, N.Y. at 160 knots. Both pilot and copilot saw an object come over the top of their aircraft from behind, an estimated 500′ above their altitude, on a heading that made a 20-degree angle with the vertical as it crossed the windshield. They estimated the length of the object at about 150′. It was described as: “light gray, almost round, with a center line …. Beneath the line there were several (at least four) windows which emitted a bright blue-green light. It was not rotating but went straight. [The lights] seemed to change colour slightly from greenish to bluish or vice versa [as the object receded]. A few minutes after it went out of sight, two other aircraft (one, a Colonial DC-3, the other I did not catch the number) reported that they saw it and wondered if anyone else had seen it. The Albany control tower also reported that they had seen an object go by on Victor-2 [airway]. As we approached Albany, we overheard that Boston radar had also tracked an object along Victor-2, passing Boston.
