Project 10073 Record — Dayton, Ohio, November 1967

This document is a collection of records and correspondence related to multiple UFO sightings reported in the Dayton, Ohio area during November 1967. The records include various 'Sighting of Unidentified Phenomena' questionnaires completed by different witnesses, as well as official correspondence from the Department of the Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The correspondence indicates that the Air Force, through the Aerial Phenomena Branch (Project Blue Book), actively sought further information from witnesses, including the submission of AF Form 117 and any potential photographic evidence. Several reports describe sightings of bright, luminous objects, with some witnesses comparing them to stars or falling stars, while others noted specific behaviors such as zig-zagging or dropping 'firey pieces.' One report from the Oakwood Police Department mentions a sighting by two boys, describing a circular object with clear plastic and red lights. The Air Force frequently concluded that the initial information provided was insufficient for a scientific investigation, prompting requests for more detailed reports. Meteorological data, specifically wind velocity and direction for Dayton, was requested by the Air Force to assist in evaluating these sightings, with some cases being tentatively identified as hot air balloons or aircraft. The documentation reflects the administrative process of the Air Force in handling civilian reports of unidentified aerial phenomena during this period.
