Project 10073 Record Card — Oakwood, Ohio, 23 Feb 61

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a civilian sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon in Oakwood, Ohio, on February 23, 1961. The witness reported observing a single, very bright, white object, approximately the size of a star, moving at a high rate of speed. The object appeared in the southwest and traveled toward the northeast before disappearing behind trees. The observation lasted for approximately two minutes. The witness, who was outdoors in a residential area at the time, noted that the sky was clear. The Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) conducted an investigation into the report, which included re-contacting the witness. However, the investigators determined that the information provided was insufficient to form a valid conclusion, noting only that the light could possibly have been an aircraft. The report includes a completed U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet, which provides additional context regarding the witness's perspective, noting that the object was not observed through any optical aids and that the witness was not moving in a vehicle at the time. The final assessment on the record card indicates that the case remained unresolved due to a lack of data.
