TL;DR

A civilian report of two unidentified lights in Bellbrook, Ohio, on September 23, 1965. The Air Force concluded the objects were likely aircraft or a satellite.

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a sighting of two unidentified aerial objects in Bellbrook, Ohio, on September 23, 1965. The witness, a civilian, reported observing two objects for approximately 15 minutes. The objects were described as flickering lights that moved from East to West and West to East. The witness noted that the lights were brighter than stars and exhibited erratic movement, appearing white and occasionally red. The sky was clear and dry at the time of the observation. The witness reported no sound associated with the objects. The official conclusion of the investigation was that the objects did not meet the definition of a UFO. The report suggests that the object moving to the East was likely a satellite, while the object moving to the West was likely an aircraft. Because both objects appeared identical, the investigators concluded that both were likely aircraft.

Moving lights of this nature do not fall within the definition of a UFO. No data presented to indicate that the lights could NOT have been A/C.

Official Assessment

Moving lights of this nature do not fall within the definition of a UFO. No data presented to indicate that the lights could NOT have been A/C. Possible that the Easterly object was a Satellite. Object to West likely A/C and since both appeared as identical they are regarded as A/C.

The objects were identified as likely aircraft (A/C) or a satellite, as they did not meet the criteria for a UFO.
