Project 10073 Record — UFO Observation, 4 June 1967

On June 4, 1967, at 0215Z, a witness reported observing an unidentified aerial phenomenon in Fairborn, Ohio. The witness, a 16-year-old female, observed the object for one hour and fifteen minutes from the vicinity of a Catholic school. She described the object as consisting of three round lights that appeared to be joined together. The lights were white in color, hovered, and moved in an East to Northwest direction. The witness noted that the lights stayed a fixed distance apart and that their brightness varied individually, comparing them to movie illumination lights. The sky was clear and dry at the time of the sighting. The witness reported that the object eventually disappeared behind clouds. The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, reviewed the report and concluded that the data provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. Colonel James C. Manatt, Director of Technology and Subsystems, sent a follow-up letter to the witness requesting that she complete an FTD Form 164 to provide more detailed information.
