AI-Generated Summary
A 14-year-old witness reported a cigar-shaped object in Kent, Ohio, on August 27, 1956. Military intelligence evaluated the report and concluded the object was likely an aircraft.
On August 27, 1956, at 1750Z, a sighting of an unidentified aerial object occurred in Kent, Ohio. The witness, 14-year-old Terry Beal, observed a single silver, cigar-shaped object for a duration of two minutes. The object was described as being sharp on one end and blunt on the other, with no sound reported. The witness observed the object visually and through 7x50 binoculars, estimating its size as half an inch long visually and three inches long through the binoculars. The object was moving in a southwesterly direction at a speed of approximately 120 MPH at a very low altitude. The report was processed by the 662nd ACWRON at Brookfield AFSTA, Ohio, and documented on a Project 10073 record card. Intelligence Officer Geprge Wagasky Jr. noted that the characteristics of the object—specifically its shape, size, color, and speed—suggested the probability that the object was an aircraft. Weather conditions at the time were reported as scattered. The report was transmitted via teletype to various Air Force commands, including the Air Defense Command at Ent AFB, Colorado, and the Director of Intelligence at HQ USAF in Washington, D.C.
