Project 10073 Record Card — Kettering, Ohio, 2 December 1960

This document is a Project 10073 record card and accompanying U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet detailing a sighting reported in Kettering, Ohio, on December 2, 1960. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a single object for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The object was described as gray and smoky, resembling fog. When first sighted, the object was oriented perpendicularly and moved in a westerly direction from a north-south orientation before turning into a horizontal, stubby cigar shape that eventually elongated. The witness reported that the object made no sound. The sighting occurred under clear sky conditions at night. The witness, who identified himself as an engineer on the B-58, was interviewed via telephone by an ATIC duty officer. The investigator noted that the witness appeared confused and unsure of himself during the conversation and was unable to provide any further details beyond his initial report. Consequently, the official conclusion for the case was that there was insufficient data for a proper evaluation. The record card confirms that no photographs were taken and there was no radar contact associated with the event. The witness was located inside a building in a residential section of the city at the time of the observation.
