This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet detailing a civilian sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon in Kettering, Ohio, on June 29, 1962. The witness, a 32-year-old female, reported observing a single, bright white object that appeared to be the size of a star. The object was observed for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. According to the witness, the object remained stationary before rushing away, changing brightness, and exhibiting a flashing or flickering effect. The witness noted a possible buzzing sound and described the movement as very slow. The object appeared at 180 degrees from true North at an elevation of 45 degrees from the horizon and eventually disappeared behind a tree at 45 degrees from true North at an elevation of 30 degrees from the horizon. The witness was sitting in a lounge chair outdoors when she noticed the object. She reported that the sky was clear and dry at the time of the sighting. The witness stated that she did not believe the object was anything specific, noting 'None' when asked for her opinion on what caused it. The record card includes a comment indicating that at 11:42 PM, an 'Echo' was observed south of the city at 53 degrees elevation moving northeast.
