Project 10073 Record — Sabina, Ohio, 17 December 1965

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a civilian sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon that occurred on December 17, 1965, near Sabina, Ohio. The witness reported observing a single object for approximately two to three minutes. The object was described as a flickering red light, which occasionally displayed three other lights, including a small green light. The witness noted that the object was traveling at a speed comparable to a small plane at a low altitude. The witness reported no sound associated with the object. The weather conditions were described as dry and clear, with no moonlight. The witness stated that the object eventually climbed in altitude and passed out of sight over Sabina. The witness estimated the angular size of the object to be about the size of a basketball at arm's length. The official conclusion recorded by the FTD Duty Officer was that there was no data presented to indicate the object could not have been an aircraft, with the notation 'Prob A/C' (Probable Aircraft) included on the form. The report includes a standard U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaire completed by the witness, who was driving in a car at the time of the sighting.
