This document contains two separate Project 10073 sighting reports from Dayton, Ohio, in October 1964. The first report, dated 19 October 1964, describes a stationary white light observed for 10 minutes. The investigation concluded that the object was the star Sirius, noting that the witness's husband had correctly identified it as a star during the observation. The second report, dated 25 October 1964, details an object observed at 10:50 PM that appeared to fall in a 'blazing flame' with a blue-red color at a 30-degree angle. The witness initially suspected space debris. Air Force investigators checked with Flight Operations and SPADATS, both of which reported no unusual activity or decay reports for that time. The final conclusion for the second incident was that it was a meteor.
