Project 10073 Record Card — Homerville, Ohio, 16 July 1956

On July 16, 1956, at approximately 2400 EST, a 23-year-old female witness observed two unidentified objects while in the open countryside one mile south of Homerville, Ohio. The witness, who was outdoors at the time, reported hearing a humming sound, which she compared to a 'huge vacuum cleaner with faint throbbing.' She described the objects as having two distinct sets of lights: a top set that was red and blinking in succession, and a bottom set that was white and remained constant. The witness estimated the objects were at an altitude of approximately 100 to 200 feet and moving in a southeasterly direction at a speed she characterized as 'faster than an automobile.' The sighting lasted for approximately three minutes, during which the objects maintained a constant altitude before disappearing over a line of trees. The weather was described as very dark with a high overcast and no moon. The witness was accompanied by her mother and father, though she noted her father did not see the objects. The report was subsequently received by the U.S. Air Force via a newspaper reporter. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record card suggests the objects were 'possibly aircraft jets.'
