Project 10073 Record Card — Clayton, Ohio, 13 August 1961

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated technical information sheet regarding a sighting reported on August 13, 1961, in Clayton, Ohio. The primary witness, Forrest Collier, reported observing four or five bright, shiny, vapor-like objects that appeared to be the size of aircraft. According to the report, the objects were observed moving at tremendous speeds, approaching from the south-southwest, passing out of sight, and then returning from the northeast. The witness, who was in his yard with family members at the time, did not personally see the objects but received the report from his brother, Coleman, who was in Richmond, Indiana. The witness noted that the objects were high in the sky and appeared to be traveling at twice the speed of a jet aircraft. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was that there was no evidence to suggest the objects were anything other than high-flying aircraft reflecting sunlight. The report includes a duty officer's note confirming that the information was relayed to the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
