This document contains a U.S. Air Force sighting report and related correspondence regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) event that occurred on the night of March 6, 1968, near Spring Valley, Ohio. The primary witness, whose name is redacted, reported observing between 10 and 20 objects while driving east on a road near Route 48. The witness described the objects as having a very bright white light in the center with smaller lights on the sides that appeared red, orange, or yellow. The witness stated that the objects hovered, moved to different locations, and at one point moved straight up to several thousand feet. The observation lasted for approximately two to three hours. The witness was accompanied by his wife and later mentioned a Greene County Deputy Sheriff as a potential witness. The Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, initially found the report insufficient for scientific investigation and requested that the witness complete an AF Form 117. The final conclusion recorded in the project file was that the sighting was likely astronomical, specifically 'Possible Astro (STARS/PLANETS),' suggesting the observer was looking at stars or planets. The witness expressed skepticism regarding the investigation process, noting in a handwritten comment that it was a 'waste of time to pursue a case like this.'
It seems very likely that the observer was actually looking at stars or planets.
