Correspondence Regarding Sighting of Three Reddish-White Objects in Oxford, Ohio, November 5, 1965

This document collection consists of correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a Miami University student in Oxford, Ohio, on November 5, 1965. The witness, while walking on College Avenue, observed three reddish-white objects moving in a southwestern direction in a perfect formation at approximately 7:46 P.M. The witness noted that the objects moved at the pace of an airplane but made no sound, and appeared to be about 600 feet above the ground. The witness initially contacted the Dayton RAPCON radar facility to inquire if the objects had been tracked. In a response dated November 13, 1965, Arvid H. Eide, Chief of Dayton RAPCON, informed the witness that their records showed no unidentified activity in the area that evening, noting that Oxford was outside their standard 33-nautical-mile radar scan range and that the area was subject to significant civilian and military air traffic. Subsequently, Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book at Wright-Patterson AFB, confirmed in a letter dated November 24, 1965, that their records also contained no reports of unidentified returns in the Miami Valley area on the date in question.
