TL;DR

A 1961 UFO sighting in Middletown, Ohio, involving a 'small rocket' was investigated by the Air Force. The case was closed as having insufficient data to reach a conclusion.

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on June 10, 1961, in Middletown, Ohio. The incident originated from a phone call received by a duty officer, identified as Lt. Hohl, who was stationed at Building 11, Area C. The witness described observing an object that appeared to be a small rocket. The report was subsequently processed by the Aerospace Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) under the authority of Major Michael J. Stroff, Jr. and addressed to Major Friend.
