Project 10073 Record Card: Sighting at Oak Hill, West Virginia, 1 July 1960

This document collection details the investigation of a UFO sighting reported in Oak Hill, West Virginia, on 1 July 1960. The incident involved three round, amber-colored objects observed in a 'V' formation by several witnesses, including a local family. The sighting lasted approximately three to five minutes. Following the report, the Fayette Tribune, a local newspaper, published an article about the event, which prompted the publisher, Robert K. Holliday, to contact the Department of the Air Force for an explanation. The Air Force responded by acknowledging the inquiry and stating that the information had been forwarded to the Aerospace Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) for evaluation. Internal military communications, including teletype messages between the 783rd AC&W Squadron at Guthrie AFS and ATIC, confirm that an investigation was conducted under the provisions of Air Force Regulation (AFR) 200-2. The final determination by the investigating committee was that the objects were a flight of three aircraft at high altitude. The documents include the official Air Intelligence Information Report, correspondence between the newspaper publisher and Air Force officials, and the teletype records documenting the administrative handling of the case.
