Project 10073 Record — Dexter, Ohio, June 1966

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a series of unidentified aerial phenomena sightings reported by a civilian in Dexter, Ohio, in June 1966. The primary witness, along with three others, observed two gold-white glowing objects on multiple occasions, specifically on June 5 and June 12, 1966. The witness described the objects as having a solid body with windows that glowed white. During the observation, which lasted approximately ten minutes, the objects were noted to pick up speed and altitude before disappearing from sight. The witness reported that no sound was heard during the event. The witness provided a detailed questionnaire, including sketches of the objects and their flight paths. The investigation, conducted by Captain James D. Ballsmith of the U.S. Air Force, concluded that the sightings were likely caused by military aircraft operating in the area at the time. The report notes that the descriptions provided by the witnesses, including the appearance of landing lights, anti-collision lights, and wing and tail lights, were consistent with standard military aircraft. The investigator further remarked that the lack of reference points in the sky likely contributed to the witness's perception of the objects' apparent movements.
