Project 10073 Record — Medway, Ohio, 10 June 1966

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on 10 June 1966 in Medway, Ohio. The primary witness, a woman who had recently resigned from ten years of service in the U.S. Air Force, reported observing a bright light while driving. She initially mistook the object for an aircraft in distress or a stationary light on a pole. Upon closer observation, she noted that the object, which appeared as a bright light similar to a landing plane's headlight, suddenly shot straight up. She further described a red light that moved up and down. When the object departed, it produced a very loud roar, which she compared to a jet. The witness estimated the object's speed to be comparable to the Thunderbirds performing a flyover. The official conclusion recorded by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, was that the sighting was a 'possible' aircraft, but required further follow-up to confirm, as the provided data was insufficient to definitively rule out an aircraft. The file includes the original Project 10073 record form, a completed U.S. Air Force Technical Information questionnaire, and a follow-up letter from Major Quintanilla requesting the questionnaire be completed for evaluation.
