Project 10073 Record: UFO Observation, 15 Feb 67

On February 15, 1967, at 10:45 P.M., a civilian witness reported observing an unidentified aerial phenomenon near State Route 55 and Panhandle Road in Christiansburg, Ohio. The witness, who was accompanied by his wife, observed the object for approximately one hour and thirty minutes. The witness described the object as a rotating light, similar to an aircraft beacon, which appeared to be a B-52. The object was described as having a constantly changing color, including white, orange, and green, and was observed to flash or flicker with variable intensity. The witness estimated the object's size to be comparable to a match head held at arm's length. The weather conditions at the time were reported as thick or heavy clouds with fog, mist, or light rain. The witness noted that the object remained in sight for the duration of the observation and was positioned on a line between Christiansburg and New Carlisle. The U.S. Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, reviewed the report and concluded on February 17, 1967, that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. The witness was requested to complete an FTD Form 164 to provide further details.
