Project 10073 Records: New Carlisle, Ohio Sightings (September 1966)

This document contains records from Project Blue Book regarding two separate unidentified aerial phenomena sightings reported in New Carlisle, Ohio, in September 1966. The first incident occurred on September 2, 1966, at 0140Z, involving two objects observed for five minutes by a civilian witness. The witness described the objects as a white ball with a blue tail and noted their course as varied. The second incident occurred on September 4, 1966, at 0355Z, involving one object observed for five seconds by a military witness, identified as a Major in the SAC command post. This witness described the object as appearing like a star. In both instances, the Air Force, represented by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, concluded that the information provided was insufficient for evaluation. The document includes correspondence from Major Quintanilla to the witnesses, requesting that they complete FTD Form 164 to provide more comprehensive data for the investigation.
