Project 10073 Record Card — Yellow Springs, Ohio, 7 June 1958

On June 7, 1958, at approximately 9:55 PM local time, a physics student at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon. The witness described the object as a white disc with tinges of yellow or red that flickered and moved in a circular path. The witness noted that the object appeared to oscillate and accelerate during the one-and-a-half-minute observation. The sky was clear, and the witness reported no sound associated with the object. The witness initially considered the possibility of a satellite but ruled it out due to the circular motion, and also considered an aircraft, though they noted the lack of blinking lights and the unusual flight path made this conclusion seem doubtful to them at the time. The witness reported the sighting to the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) shortly after the event. Official military follow-up included inquiries to the 58th Air Division and Cox Municipal Airport. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record card states that the description and maneuvers were typical of an aircraft, noting that the Springfield airport is located just north of the observer's position.
