UFO Sighting Report — 11 November 1967, North Olmsted, Ohio

This document details a radar sighting of an unidentified target on 11 November 1967, reported by the FAA at North Olmsted, Ohio. The target was first detected at approximately 2105 EST, moving at an azimuth of 070 degrees at a speed of 50 mph. The target was observed for one hour and 30 minutes before being lost approximately 10 miles northwest of Buffalo. The radar controller, Mr. Dort, noted that the target was a definite, primary return, comparable in size to a DC-6 aircraft. Despite the lack of a height finder, the controller estimated the object was at a significant altitude. The investigation, led by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., involved inquiries with various weather bureaus to determine if any balloon launches could account for the sighting. While weather data was provided, no specific agency could be confirmed as the source of a balloon in the area at that time. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the object was a 'Probable (BALLOON).' The file also contains correspondence regarding other sightings in November 1967, including reports from Thailand and Germany, and documentation of radar data analysis under Project 5992D.
