U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet — Logansville, Ohio, October 31, 1953

This document contains a U.S. Air Force technical information report regarding a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon on October 31, 1953, near Logansville, Ohio. The primary witness, a 45-year-old farmer, reported observing a round, saucer-like object at approximately 7:30 P.M. The witness described the object as having a bright, glowing appearance, comparable to 'a million electric light bulbs,' and estimated its speed at 400 mph. According to the report, the object traveled from east to west before abruptly veering south and disappearing. The observation lasted approximately 10 seconds. The witness, who was stepping out of his house to walk to his car when he noticed the object, was accompanied by his wife, who also witnessed the event. In his written description, the witness noted that the object had fuzzy or blurred edges and made no sound. He compared the visual effect to a 'Ferris Wheel going at great speed in the sky.' The Air Force investigation concluded that the object was a meteor and that the reported movement was an illusion. The report includes completed questionnaires, a summary data sheet, and a letter from the witness's wife dated November 1, 1953, detailing the event from her perspective, noting that her husband had called her out of the house to look at the object.
