Project 10073 Record — Ottawa, Ohio, March 1966

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 15-year-old civilian in Ottawa, Ohio, on March 29, 1966. The witness, along with her family, observed a large, oblong object at tree-top level for approximately 8 to 10 minutes. The witness described the object as being as large as a house, emitting a loud humming sound, and displaying various colors including powder blue, red, orange, and green. According to the report, the object initially moved slowly but increased its speed significantly when the witness's mother turned on a back porch light. The witness noted that the object exhibited a 'wobbling motion' and moved in a northward direction. The witness reported the incident to the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, who reportedly laughed at the account but sent a deputy to investigate. The witness expressed frustration with the skepticism she encountered, emphasizing that she was not seeking publicity and was telling the truth. The official Air Force evaluation concluded that the description was inconsistent with conventional aircraft, noting that while it was possible an aircraft was observed, the available information did not warrant a definitive conclusion, ultimately classifying the event as 'Unidentified'.
