PROJECT 10073 RECORD - Eastmont, Ohio - 28 March 1966
AI-Generated Summary
A civilian report of two objects in Eastmont, Ohio, on March 28, 1966, was officially identified by the U.S. Air Force as the ECHO II satellite and another orbiting satellite.
This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a civilian sighting of two unidentified aerial objects in Eastmont, Ohio, on March 28, 1966. The witness, who chose to remain anonymous, reported observing a white light moving in a northeasterly direction at approximately 2110 EST. The observation lasted for five minutes, with the witness estimating the object's speed to be comparable to that of a jet and its altitude at 25,000 feet. The witness noted that the object appeared as a white light and, when compared to a match head at arm's length, covered 80% of the match head. A second object was observed 28 minutes later. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the first object was the ECHO II satellite and the second object was likely one of the many other satellites orbiting the Earth at that time. The report includes a completed U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaire, which confirms the weather conditions were clear and dry, and that the witness observed the objects without the aid of binoculars or telescopes.
