Project 10073 Records: Sighting Reports for Camden, Ohio (May 1966)

This document contains records from Project 10073 regarding two unidentified aerial phenomena sightings reported by a civilian in Camden, Ohio, in May 1966. The first sighting occurred on 10 May 1966, and the second on 25 May 1966. In both instances, the witness described a bright, reddish-to-pale-yellow light that appeared to move back and forth, accelerate vertically, and dim before disappearing. The witness, who had served in the U.S. Armed Forces in Germany, explicitly stated that the light was not caused by any known aircraft. The reports include completed U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaires, correspondence from Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, requesting further information, and internal notes from Major M. Woodside, the FTD Duty Officer who received the reports via telephone. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force for both sightings was that they were 'Astro Probable,' specifically identifying the objects as the stars Arcturus (for the 10 May sighting) and Formalhaut (for the 25 May sighting), based on the reported azimuth and elevation data.
