U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet — Covington, Ohio, 10 November 1952

This document is a U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet detailing a sighting report from 10 November 1952. An unidentified witness, residing at Sycamore Bend near Covington, Ohio, reported observing a brilliant, bluish light in the sky in a north-westerly direction from his home on Route 48. The witness described the object as having a 'bobbing motion' and noted that he had observed the same light at least six times over the preceding two months, consistently appearing in the same location. The witness also identified neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Etter, as having observed the same phenomenon. Upon receiving the report, the ATIC Duty Officer contacted Patterson Operations. Mr. Falkner, a dispatcher, provided an explanation, stating that a B-29 aircraft from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (W-PAFB) was operating in that area, testing photo equipment at various altitudes. The report concludes with this explanation, effectively identifying the source of the light as military flight activity. The document includes the standard questionnaire form used by the Air Force to collect data on aerial phenomena, though many fields remain blank or are only partially completed by the witness.
