Project 10073 Record — Sighting Report, Macedonia, Ohio, 10 July 1966

This document contains the Project Blue Book record for a UFO sighting reported in Macedonia, Ohio, on July 10, 1966. The primary witness was a 13-year-old male who observed a single, round, whitish-blue, self-luminous object for approximately three minutes. The witness described the object as having a circle in the middle and estimated its size at 40 feet and its altitude at roughly 300 feet. The object reportedly followed a straight path before moving upward at a 30-degree angle at a speed of 40-60 miles per hour. The witness reported no sound and noted that the weather was dry with stratus clouds. The official Air Force evaluation, signed by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., concluded that the sighting was likely a satellite. The file includes the original Project 10073 record form, the completed FTD Form 164 questionnaire, and a follow-up letter from Major Quintanilla to the witness, dated July 13, 1966, requesting further information because the initial report was insufficient for a full evaluation.
