This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a UFO sighting that occurred in Dayton, Ohio, on February 20, 1960. The report documents a single civilian witness who observed a very bright, pinkish-white object, described as being approximately the size of a basketball at arm's length. The object was observed for a duration of 10 seconds, moving in a north-to-south direction before disappearing behind a cloud. The weather conditions at the time were reported as cool and dry with scattered clouds. The official evaluation of the sighting concluded that there was insufficient information to reach a definitive conclusion. The report notes that the sighting was based on a single witness and suggests that the duration and color of the object were indicative of a meteor sighting. The document includes a standard U.S. Air Force technical information sheet, which remains largely blank, and a UFO analysis sheet that reiterates the lack of sufficient information for a formal conclusion.
