Project 10073 Record Card — SE Ohio Sighting

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying extract from an Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) Duty Officer report, both dated June 25, 1950. The report details a sighting involving two airplanes that observed 'balls of fire' in the vicinity of Clinton County Homer Radio in southeastern Ohio. The sighting occurred at approximately 2300 hours. According to the report, one aircraft was at an altitude of 1,000 feet, while the other was located approximately 6 miles west of Washington Courthouse at an altitude of 2,300 feet. Both aircraft reported the objects were traveling at a speed of approximately 600 miles per hour. The information was relayed to the ATIC UFO office via a telephone call from an individual named Shoemaker at RADCON. The official conclusion recorded on the project card states that there was insufficient data to reach a definitive explanation. The comments section notes that while the two sightings were described almost identically, there was no follow-up information provided regarding the flight direction, altitude changes, or other specific flight characteristics of the objects, leaving the incident unresolved.
