U.S. Air Force Technical Information Questionnaire — Belmont, Ohio, 3 November 1965

This document is a U.S. Air Force Technical Information Questionnaire completed on November 3, 1965, regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Belmont, Ohio. The primary witness, a 45-year-old male, reported observing an object in the southwest sky for approximately 30 minutes. The witness described the object as being significantly brighter than the moon or stars, comparing its appearance to the 'Star of Bethlehem' due to its rays. The sighting was observed by the caller, his wife, and a friend. The reporting officer, an FTD Duty Officer, conducted a follow-up and noted that the object appeared in the southwest sky behind and above Belmont High School, positioned on a direct line between the witness's home and Cincinnati. The officer documented that the speech of the primary witness and his wife was 'thick and slurred,' while the third party's speech appeared unaffected. The officer explicitly noted in a postscript that he did not ask the witnesses if they had been drinking. The document includes standard questionnaire fields regarding the time, location, and conditions of the sighting, though many specific details regarding the object's physical characteristics were left blank or noted as 'didn't ask' by the investigator.
