Project 10073 Records — Kettering & Dayton, Ohio, September 1965

This document contains two separate Project 10073 sighting reports filed by the same witness in Kettering, Ohio, in September 1965. The first report, dated 17 September 1965, describes a white object observed at 19:43 moving from South to North. The witness noted the object was two to three times brighter than a first-magnitude star. The official conclusion for this event was that the object was the ECHO II satellite. The second report, dated 21 September 1965, describes an object observed at 20:30. The witness described this object as three colored balls pressed together, exhibiting erratic motion confined to a 200-degree azimuth, though it appeared stationary. The witness noted the object appeared solid and was observed for 30 minutes before disappearing beyond the horizon. The official conclusion for this second event was that the object was the planet Venus. The witness, a high school student with 20-20 vision, provided sketches and detailed questionnaires for both events, noting that the objects made no sound.
