Project 10073 Record Card — August 1960 Sighting, Dayton, Ohio

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated technical information sheets detailing a UFO sighting in Dayton, Ohio, in August 1960. The witness, who reported the event via telephone, described observing three star-sized, bright objects following an airplane. According to the witness, one of the objects departed from the flight path in an erratic manner and appeared to stop when a light beacon swung past the observer. The witness, who was standing on Second Street at the time, noted that the objects had the appearance of light reflections. The investigating officer noted that while the witness sounded convinced and concerned rather than confused, the information provided was ultimately deemed unreliable. Other individuals, specifically someone named Mantia, were also present during the sighting. Despite the documentation, the official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that there was insufficient data for a valid evaluation. The report includes the original record card, the technical information sheet completed by the witness, and handwritten notes from the investigator summarizing the telephone conversation and the lack of a definitive conclusion.
