AI-Generated Summary
A 1964 UFO sighting report from the Canton-Akron area involving an anonymous witness and a large group of observers at a bingo game. The FTD concluded the object was likely an aircraft or satellite.
On 17 May 1964, an unidentified aerial phenomenon was reported in the Canton-Akron area of Ohio. An anonymous witness contacted Lockbourne Air Force Base to report an object observed at an altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 feet. The object was described as moving in a straight line toward the east-southeast at a speed slower than a blimp. The witness reported that the object displayed lights resembling two car headlights with a series of lights behind them that looked like windows. The sighting lasted between 6 and 20 minutes, and the witness claimed that at least 100 to 150 people attending a bingo game observed the object. The witness specifically noted the absence of green navigation lights, which they expected to see on an aircraft. The report was subsequently forwarded to the Foreign Technology Division (FTD). The official evaluation concluded that the object was likely an aircraft or a satellite, noting that the lack of green lights did not definitively rule out an aircraft as the source of the sighting.
