AI-Generated Summary
Two UFO sightings were reported in Columbus, Ohio, on March 31, 1966. The military investigation was closed due to a lack of returned documentation from the witnesses.
This document consists of records and correspondence regarding two UFO sightings reported in Columbus, Ohio, on March 31, 1966. The first sighting involved a report from a doctor who claimed an object landed on the Ohio State University golf course between 2200 and 2230 hours. The second sighting, reported by an unnamed individual, described a green, inverted V-shaped object with red flashing lights that hovered over North Columbus before departing toward the north-northwest. Lt. Tony Whittington, the Public Information Officer at Lockbourne AFB, relayed these reports. Official military correspondence from Colonel Eric T. de Josckhere notes that under AFR 200-2, the nearest Air Force base is responsible for investigating such reports. However, the project record indicates that the necessary Form 164 was requested but never returned, leading to a final conclusion of 'Insufficient Data' for the case.
He said that the altitude was high enough so that he couldn't definitely make out the shape, but that the lights were clearly visible.
