Project 10073 Record — Lothridge, Ohio, 9 March 1967

This document contains a series of records regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Lothridge, Ohio, on March 9, 1967. The witness, a female civilian, submitted a detailed questionnaire and a narrative account of her experience. According to the witness, she and her husband were driving on a country road when they observed a bright, yellowish-red object that appeared to be a star. They subsequently encountered a second object, which they described as a large, cube-shaped craft with a round dome on top, hovering approximately 35 to 40 feet above the ground. The witness reported that the object had four large portholes and emitted red and green lights. She noted that the object appeared to be spinning and was charcoal grey in color. The witness expressed significant distress during the encounter, describing herself as hysterical, and claimed the object followed their vehicle as they drove away at high speed. The Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, processed the report. Correspondence from Lt. Colonel George P. Freeman, Jr. to the witness confirms the receipt of her report and provides instructions for completing the official sighting form. The case was ultimately classified as 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation' by the Air Force, citing the late reporting date and the destruction of relevant FAA air activity records. The file notes that the case was forwarded to the University of Colorado on July 21, 1967, for further consideration as part of the broader UFO research efforts of the era.
