Project 10073 Record Card — West Florence, Ohio, 17 Oct 61

This document contains a Project 10073 record card detailing a UFO sighting reported on October 17, 1961, in West Florence, Ohio. The witness reported observing a flashing, greenish-blue and white object that appeared brighter and larger than a star for approximately one and a half hours. The witness described the object as having a red tail and moving slowly, comparing its shape to a spinning top. The investigation, conducted by Captain D. Kunkle, concluded that the description matched the position and characteristics of the star Arcturus. The file also includes a U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet completed by the witness, which provides additional details about the observation, including the lack of sound and the witness's use of binoculars. Furthermore, the document includes a copy of Special Order A-299 from the Fifteenth Air Force (SAC), dated September 11, 1961, regarding the reassignment of SSGT David N. Moody to the Foreign Tech Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The inclusion of this personnel order appears to be administrative in nature and unrelated to the sighting report itself, though it is bound within the same file.
