AI-Generated Summary
A 13-year-old witness in Kettering, Ohio, reported a 5-hour sighting of three orange-red objects in November 1966. The Air Force classified the case as having insufficient data for evaluation due to the lack of a precise date.
This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a UFO sighting reported by a 13-year-old male in Kettering, Ohio, in November 1966. The witness observed three objects, including one large object described as having a 'bowler hat with a wide rim' shape, a tail, and several lights. The objects were described as bright orange-red and were observed for approximately five hours. The witness noted that at one point, a small white dot appeared to disappear into the larger object. The witness reported no sound and indicated the objects moved at an estimated speed of 3 to 5 miles per hour. The Air Force investigation concluded that the case provided insufficient data for a formal evaluation. The primary issue cited by the investigators was the lack of a specific date for the sighting, which prevented them from conducting a meaningful check of aerial activity in the area at the time of the event. The report includes a completed U.S. Air Force Technical Information questionnaire, sketches of the objects' motion and arrangement, and a narrative summary provided by the witness.
