Project 10073 Record — UFO Observation, 22 October 1967

This document contains the records of a UFO sighting reported in Dayton, Ohio, on October 22, 1967. The witness, a civilian, reported observing approximately 50 objects that appeared to be 'fish-shaped' with tails. The objects were described as red, green, and multicolor, and were observed tumbling and scattering while traveling from south to north. The observation lasted for approximately 30 minutes. The witness noted that some of the objects moved as fast as a jet, while others floated like dust or balloons. The Air Force conducted an investigation, which included requesting wind velocity and direction data for the Dayton area at various altitudes. The official conclusion reached by the Foreign Technology Division was that the objects were 'possable (BALLOONS).' The investigators attempted to verify this by contacting the Dayton Chamber of Commerce to determine if the sightings could be linked to 'Cleaner Air Week' or the Ringling Brothers Circus, but no response was received. The file includes correspondence between the Foreign Technology Division and the witness, as well as completed technical information questionnaires and meteorological data.
