Project 10073 Record Card — Dayton, Ohio, 10 June 1956

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a UFO sighting reported on June 10, 1956, in Dayton, Ohio. The witness, identified as an 11-year-old boy, described observing a single object that appeared as a 'ball of fire' moving in a southerly direction at 2155 EST. The report was taken via telephone by an individual identified as OD-Beerman. The witness noted that this was not his first sighting, claiming to have seen a similar object in March or April of the same year, which he had also reported at the time. The investigating agency, ATIC, consulted with the military flight service at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). The military flight service indicated that the object was likely a jet aircraft. Due to the limited information provided by the young witness, the official conclusion recorded on the card is 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.' The file includes a standard U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet, which remains largely blank regarding specific physical characteristics of the object, such as speed, altitude, or size, further supporting the conclusion that the report lacked sufficient detail for a more thorough investigation.
