TL;DR

A civilian in Oakwood, Ohio, reported a brief, two-second sighting of a bright, triangular, bluish-white object on November 15, 1960. The official investigation concluded the object was likely a meteor.

This document contains a Project 10073 record card and a transcript of a telephone interview conducted by Captain Naylor on November 15, 1960, regarding a UFO sighting in Oakwood, Ohio. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a fast-moving, triangular object at approximately 18:15 hours. The witness was standing on Volusia Avenue when they first spotted the object, which they initially mistook for a shooting star. Upon closer observation, the witness described the object as having a definite triangular shape, being very pointed in the front, and exhibiting a bluish-white, sparkling light with a halo. The witness noted that the object was moving easterly at a low altitude, parallel to the horizon, and appeared to be heading toward the vicinity of Patterson Field. The observation lasted no more than two seconds, and the witness reported hearing no noise. The sky conditions were described as a 'sluddy overcast.' During the interview, Captain Naylor clarified the witness's position and the bearing of the object, which the witness estimated to be around 320 degrees. The official conclusion recorded on the card is that the object was likely a meteor, noting that it was very bright and moving very fast through the overcast.

It was pointed and triangular - it had like a glow over it - it looked like a glow on the outer edges of it and the inside of it kind of sparkled like maybe a star dropping.
