Project 10073 Record — Multiple Sightings, Dayton, Ohio, July-October 1967

This document contains a series of reports and correspondence regarding multiple unidentified aerial phenomena observed by a civilian in Dayton, Ohio, between July and October 1967. The primary witness, a 13-year-old male, submitted several reports to the Air Force's Foreign Technology Division, specifically referencing Project Blue Book. The sightings typically involved objects described as bright lights or stars, often observed near the moon, moving from North to South. The witness provided detailed descriptions of the objects' behavior, noting that they would sometimes appear to stop, slow down, change color from gray to red, and occasionally blink. The observer used a telescope for some of these sightings, describing the objects as round or egg-shaped. The Air Force initially responded to the witness on July 20, 1967, stating that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requesting the completion of FTD Form 164. Subsequent reports were filed by the witness throughout the summer and autumn of 1967, documenting sightings on July 12, 16, 21, 22, 23, September 5, and October 4. The official conclusion recorded in the Project 10073 records for these sightings was 'Probable AIRCRAFT.' The documentation includes the original correspondence, multiple completed technical information questionnaires, and handwritten notes from the observer detailing the specific characteristics of each sighting.
