Declassified UFO / UAP Document
Project 10073 Record — Cincinnati, Ohio, September 20, 1967
AI-Generated Summary
A civilian reported a UFO sighting in Cincinnati in 1967 and submitted photographs. The Air Force closed the case as 'insufficient data' after the witness failed to provide requested technical details and original negatives.
This document contains the records and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by Greg Reynolds in Cincinnati, Ohio, on September 20, 1967. Mr. Reynolds submitted a letter dated September 29, 1967, to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, claiming to have photographed an object that appeared to be the size of a station wagon or slightly larger. He stated the sighting occurred at approximately 4:00 p.m. on the day of the incident. The Air Force responded to Mr. Reynolds on October 10, 1967, via a letter signed by Colonel James C. Manatt, requesting that he complete FTD Form 164 and a Photo Data Sheet, and specifically asking for the original negatives of the photographs to assist in their analysis. Mr. Reynolds failed to provide the requested data or the negatives. Consequently, in a follow-up letter dated February 12, 1968, Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., of the Aerial Phenomena Office, informed Mr. Reynolds that the Air Force was returning his photographs without having analyzed them due to the lack of supporting data. The official conclusion recorded in the Project 10073 file for both the case and the photographs is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION.' Internal notes on the record indicate that the photographs provided by the observer were considered 'very similar to a Frisbee.' The file includes copies of the correspondence, the project record form, and the photographs themselves.
Photos ARE VERY SIMILAR TO A Frisbee.
