U.S. Air Force Technical Information Questionnaire — Springfield, Ohio, 27 March 1965

This document is a U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaire regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported in Springfield, Ohio, on 27 March 1965. The witness, a woman, reported observing a single object with fuzzy edges that appeared as a light in the night sky. The object was described as initially yellow-orange, changing to red-white, and moving from the west toward the north. The witness noted that the object appeared to be stationary at times and then moved at varying speeds, including a slow flight phase. The observation lasted between 5 and 10 minutes under clear, starry conditions with a bright moon. The witness reported the event from inside her home and stated there was no sound. The report includes a telephone follow-up by an investigator who noted the witness's certainty regarding the observation. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the object was an aircraft, and the perceived stopping motion was attributed to an optical illusion occurring while the aircraft was approaching during a maneuver. The document confirms that no photographs or physical evidence were obtained.
