Project Blue Book Sighting Report — Worthington, Ohio, March 1968

This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report from March 3, 1968, involving an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Worthington, Ohio. The primary witness reported seeing two white lights in the sky at 2200 and 2300 hours. The duration of the observation was noted as 15 minutes. The witness, who was accompanied by another person, described the objects as moving slowly in a controlled condition. The witness also noted that the objects appeared to be white and that there was no sound associated with them. The witness indicated that the objects moved behind trees and that they might have landed. Following the initial report, the Department of the Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, sent a letter to the witness on March 13, 1968, signed by Colonel James C. Manatt. The Air Force informed the witness that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific investigation and requested the completion of an AF Form 117. The internal conclusion recorded on the sighting record indicates that the observer failed to return the requested form. Consequently, the Air Force categorized the event as 'Probable (AIRCRAFT),' noting the observer's proximity to the Columbus Municipal airport and suggesting the lights were likely aircraft landing lights.
