Project 10073 Record Card — Englewood Hills, Ohio, 11 Sep 61

This document is a Project 10073 record card and accompanying U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet detailing a sighting reported on September 11, 1961, in Englewood Hills, Ohio. A civilian witness reported observing two stationary lights in the northwest sky for a duration of two hours. The witness noted that one of the objects disappeared during the observation and mentioned that similar objects had been viewed throughout the previous week, described only as lights with changing brightness. The witness was outdoors in a residential area at the time of the sighting, which occurred under clear sky conditions. The witness indicated that they were not moving and were looking toward the northwest. The official evaluation conducted by ATIC concluded that the sighting was 'obviously' of astronomical bodies. The report states that the presence of the objects in the same location on successive days, combined with the long duration of the observation, led to the identification of the objects as the planet Venus and the first-magnitude star Capella, which were in the locations described by the witness.
