A civilian report of a circular, yellowish-white object in Tipp City, Ohio, on August 29, 1965, was officially identified by the U.S. Air Force as the Echo II satellite.
On August 29, 1965, a civilian witness in Tipp City, Ohio, reported observing an unidentified aerial object. The witness described the object as circular in shape with a yellowish-white color, noting that it appeared slightly brighter than the brightest star. The observation lasted between three and five minutes, during which the object exhibited a wavering flight path and moved behind clouds while traveling in a northeasterly direction. The witness reported the object at an elevation of 46 degrees. The official conclusion reached by the investigating authorities was that the object was the Echo II satellite. This determination was supported by the fact that Echo II was scheduled to be over the Dayton area at 8:56 PM, heading northeast, which aligned with the witness's report. The documentation includes a standard U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaire completed by the witness, which confirms the weather was dry and that the object was observed at night.
