Project 10073 Record — Fairborn, Ohio, February 1967

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported in Fairborn, Ohio, in February 1967. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a round, silver, glowing object in the night sky that appeared to be descending toward Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The witness described the object as moving slowly toward the northeast before disappearing behind trees. In her narrative, the witness noted that the object did not display the typical blinking red and green lights of an aircraft, but rather appeared as a single bright light. She further stated that she had seen similar phenomena before but had hesitated to report it due to a fear of notoriety. The Air Force Foreign Technology Division (FTD) initially deemed the information insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested that the witness complete a formal FTD Form 164. A subsequent record within the file provides a summary and analysis, concluding that the sighting was likely an aircraft, noting that a landing aircraft with bright landing lights could have accounted for the observation.
