Project Blue Book Sighting Report — Eaton, Ohio, 10 January 1968

This document contains the records of a UFO sighting reported in Eaton, Ohio, on the night of January 10, 1968. The observer, whose name is redacted, reported watching a bright, star-like object for approximately 20 minutes. The object was described as resembling a magnifying glass on its side. The report includes correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, who informed the witness that the initial report was insufficient for a scientific investigation and requested the completion of an AF Form 117. The witness subsequently completed the questionnaire, providing details on the observation, including the time (23:30) and the duration. Despite the submission of the form, the official conclusion reached by the Aerial Phenomena Branch (Project Blue Book) was that there was insufficient data for evaluation. The investigators noted that critical information, such as elevation, azimuth, and the specific manner in which the object disappeared, was missing. The final assessment suggested that the observer was likely viewing a star or a planet.
