Project 10073 Record — Cheviot, Ohio, 29 April 1967

This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Cheviot, Ohio, on April 29, 1967. The witness, a 20-year-old male and Civil Air Patrol volunteer, reported observing a single object with an orange glow for approximately five seconds. According to the witness, the object moved from south to north, stopped, disappeared, reappeared, descended at a 45-degree angle, and returned to its original altitude before moving out of sight. The witness described the object as having a circular, sphere-like shape with a protrusion underneath, and estimated its speed to be faster than a jet aircraft. The report includes a completed U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaire, where the witness provided details about the sky conditions, the object's appearance, and his own background as a hobby photographer. The investigating officer noted significant contradictions in the witness's account, specifically regarding whether the object disappeared or not, and concluded that there were many inaccuracies in the report. The final official conclusion recorded on the document is 'Astro (METEOR).'
