A 1968 UFO sighting in Fairborn, Ohio, was investigated by the Air Force's Foreign Technology Division. The event was officially categorized as a probable astronomical object due to insufficient data.
On March 4, 1968, two witnesses in Fairborn, Ohio, observed a light in the sky for approximately 45 minutes. The observers reported that the light appeared to change colors, specifically cycling between red, yellow, white, and green. The incident was reported to the U.S. Air Force, which processed the event under Project 10073. The Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base reviewed the initial report and determined that the information provided was insufficient for a formal scientific investigation.

The official conclusion recorded in the Project 10073 file for this incident is that the object was a 'Probable Astro (STARS/PLANETS)'. The documentation includes the original project record, the official correspondence from the Air Force to the witnesses, and the blank questionnaire form provided for further data collection.
