This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a UFO sighting reported by a pilot on July 17, 1964, near Vermillion, Ohio. The witness, who was on the beach at the time, observed a single, bright white, star-like object moving in a northeasterly direction for approximately four minutes. The witness, who identified themselves as a pilot, noted that the object appeared similar to a bright planet and made no sound. The weather conditions were reported as clear. The official conclusion provided by the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) suggests the object was a satellite observation, noting that if the time provided was local rather than Zulu time, the object would have been the Echo I satellite.
