Project 10073 Record — Washington Township, Ohio, August 1965

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a civilian sighting of an unidentified aerial object in Washington Township, Ohio, on August 25, 1965. The witness described the object as a small, white, star-like entity observed for approximately one minute and thirty seconds before it disappeared by fading. The weather conditions at the time were reported as dry with a clear sky. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the object was a satellite, noting that while ECHO and PEGASUS schedules were checked with negative results, the visual characteristics were consistent with a satellite observation. The report includes a standard U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaire, though much of the personal information regarding the witness has been redacted. A secondary, possibly related or separate record on page 14 of the document mentions a sighting on August 28, 1965, in the same location, which was identified as the ECHO II satellite.
