This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a UFO sighting reported on June 27, 1962, in Fairborn, Ohio. The witness, whose name is illegible, observed a star-like object for approximately three minutes. The object was described as fuzzy or blurred, roughly the size of a marble held at arm's length. The witness initially mistook the object for the satellite Echo. The observation was made while the witness was in a prone position. The object's course was generally to the south. The investigation, conducted by a Major whose name is partially illegible, concluded that no positive identification could be made. The report notes that there was aircraft activity in the area at the time, and suggests that the light from an aircraft was the probable cause of the sighting. Furthermore, the investigator noted that the witness's prone position likely contributed to an unusual perspective of the celestial vault. The final assessment states there is no evidence to suggest the object was not an aircraft, but the case remains inconclusive due to a lack of substantial data.
No positive conclusion can be reached in this case due to lack of substantial data and fact that exact positions of all a/c in area cannot be determined for specific times.

Unusual perspective experienced when viewing celestial vault fm prone position is probably a contributing factor. There is no evidence available which indicates objt was not a/c.
The object was likely an aircraft, though exact identification could not be confirmed due to insufficient data.
