Project 10073 Record Card — Vandal[ia], Ohio, 15 September 1963

On September 15, 1963, a 64-year-old female witness in Vandalia, Ohio, reported observing two unidentified aerial objects at approximately 1800 hours local time. The witness, who was on her second-story porch facing west, described the objects as bright gold and solid, noting they had no wings, protrusions, vapor trails, or exhaust. She compared the shape of one object to a bent banana and the other to a large ear of corn. The objects were observed for approximately 10 minutes. According to the report, the objects were initially stationary, but later gathered speed and crossed paths. One object was observed to fade, while the other continued its path toward the north. The witness estimated the objects were at least 15 miles away. The observation was momentarily interrupted by a tree. The witness reported no sound associated with the objects. The report was completed by Captain de Leon of the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) during a telephone conversation with the witness. The official conclusion stated that while there was a possibility one object was an aircraft, there was insufficient data to confirm this, and the case was officially classified as 'UNIDENTIFIED'.
