Project 10073 Record — Norwalk, Ohio, 1 December 1965

This document contains a collection of reports and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Norwalk, Ohio, on 1 December 1965. The primary witness, a civilian, reported observing a bright white light in the southwest sky for approximately 20 minutes. The witness described the object as appearing like a car headlight, which changed colors to blue and red, moved down to tree level, and then sped off at a high rate of speed. The witness attempted to view the object through a telescope but found it too far away to focus. The witness also reported that the National Guard in the area had taken a Geiger counter measurement that was positive, a claim that was noted by Major Quintanilla in a memo for the record. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division, evaluated the sighting and concluded that the light was in the approximate position of the planet Venus and that the planet was the cause of the sighting. The file includes the official Project 10073 record, a U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaire completed by the witness, and correspondence from the Air Force to the witness explaining the evaluation.
