PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD - Moraine, Ohio - 9 July 1962

On July 9, 1962, at approximately 21:55 local time, a civilian witness in Moraine, Ohio, observed two unidentified objects in the sky for a duration of 15 minutes. The witness described the objects as white, steady in intensity, and not twinkling, appearing similar to a star. The witness reported that the two objects were moving in opposite directions and initially believed they were on a collision course. The objects remained stationary in the sky after the initial observation period. The official Air Force evaluation concluded that the sighting was an 'Echo' (astronomical), specifically identifying the object as the star Vega, which was positioned in the northeast sky at the time of the observation. The document includes a U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet completed by the witness, which provides details on the observation conditions, noting clear skies and dry weather. The witness also provided sketches of the objects' positions and motion. The report is part of the Project 10073 record series.
