AI-Generated Summary
A civilian reported a bright orange light in Dayton, Ohio, on 19 June 1957. Military investigators were unable to obtain further details or witness information, resulting in a conclusion of insufficient data.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a corresponding disposition form detailing a UFO sighting reported on 19 June 1957 in Dayton, Ohio. At 0130 EST, a civilian reported observing a bright orange light located to the south-southeast of the area. According to the report, the light itself disappeared, but a residual glow remained at the location. The report was processed by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and reviewed by AFOIN-4E4. Captain Douglas J. Davis, an SDO, documented the initial report, noting that the Duty Officer (D/O) was unable to verify the sighting. Subsequent attempts to gather more information from the Miami Valley Civil Defense were unsuccessful, as the agency could not provide the name, address, or contact information for the original witness. Consequently, the official conclusion reached by the investigating authorities was that there was insufficient data to evaluate the incident. The disposition form, signed by Major J. Connair, Jr., confirms that no further information was available to substantiate the report, leading to the final classification of the case as having insufficient data.
