This document is a Project 10073 record card and accompanying U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet detailing a sighting that occurred on November 4, 1960, in Christiansburg, Ohio. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a round, yellow-green object that appeared to be the size of the moon. The object was described as having a vapor-like appearance and remained stationary for approximately ten minutes before moving in a circular path. The witness noted that the object disappeared for a minute during the observation. The report indicates that the object made no sound. The witness also noted that their dog barked at the object. The weather conditions at the time were reported as having scattered clouds and being dry. The witness was outdoors in the countryside when the sighting occurred. The investigating officer, identified as an ATIC Duty Officer, concluded that the report contained very little pertinent data and that there was insufficient information to reach a definitive conclusion regarding the nature of the object. The witness provided a sketch of the object's path and noted that they were unable to estimate the speed or distance of the object, though they remarked it was no more than 30 miles away. The witness also suggested the possibility of 'swamp gas' in the questionnaire, though this is a subjective remark by the witness rather than an official finding. The document includes the standard U.S. Air Force questionnaire format used for collecting information on unidentified aerial phenomena, including questions regarding the witness's location, the object's appearance, and environmental conditions.
