AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A 1966 Air Force sighting report from Yellow Springs, Ohio, describing a green light observed by an Air Force member. The official conclusion categorized the event as a possible aircraft.

This document is a Project 10073 sighting report concerning an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on May 22, 1966, at John Bryan State Park in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The witness, an individual serving in the Air Force with 20-20 vision, reported observing a single object for approximately three to six minutes. The object was described as a bright green light with smaller white lights, which the witness compared to a green traffic light viewed from a distance of about one mile. The object was observed moving in the opposite direction of the witness's vehicle before slowing to a near stop and disappearing behind a line of trees. The witness explicitly stated in their narrative that they did not believe the object was a 'flying saucer' and suggested it might have been a privately owned plane landing. The report was filed with the Air Force Logistics Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official conclusion recorded on the form is 'Possible (AIRCRAFT).'

I may add that I do not feel this was any sort of flying saucer or anything. But I did report an U.F.O. because I thought it the right thing to do.
