UFO Sighting Report — Youngstown, Ohio, March 1965

This document is an incoming Air Force staff message dated March 27, 1965, regarding a series of UFO sightings reported by a civilian woman in Youngstown, Ohio. The report, filed under AFR 200-2, details observations made on March 11 and March 13, 1965. The witness described seeing between two and six off-white, grapefruit-sized objects that appeared star-shaped until she put on her glasses, at which point they appeared round. She reported that the objects performed erratic maneuvers, including intermittent movement, pausing, tumbling, and spinning. The witness claimed to have been observing these lights for approximately 11 years, beginning with a bright light over a church next to her home. The investigation was conducted by personnel from the 910th TCG, including Major John E. Cristein, Captain Albert A. Kotun, and MSGT Raymond E. Graham. The investigators concluded that the witness was under significant emotional strain. They noted that her neighbors referred to her as 'Night Hawk' due to her habit of staying awake most nights. The investigators emphasized that no other witnesses could verify her claims and that most people in her circle expressed disbelief regarding her accounts. The report notes that the witness was alone during the sightings and expressed relief that no family members were present to witness them. The document includes detailed weather data for the dates in question and a summary of the witness's descriptions of the object's movements.
