AI-Generated Summary
A civilian in New Carlisle, Ohio, reported a 20-minute sighting of two objects on March 18, 1968. The Air Force closed the case as 'insufficient data' after the witness failed to return a follow-up questionnaire.
On March 18, 1968, at approximately 22:15, a civilian witness in New Carlisle, Ohio, observed two unidentified aerial objects. The witness reported that the objects were visible for 20 minutes under clear, dry weather conditions. According to the witness's description, the objects appeared to have a gold top and a red light on the bottom. The witness noted that the objects appeared to stand still at least three times during the observation. The sighting was initially reported to a duty officer, identified as Sgt. Richard E. Jobe. Following the 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 27, 1968, requesting that they complete an AF Form 117 to provide more detailed information for a scientific investigation. The project record indicates that the witness did not return the requested form within the 30-day window. Consequently, the official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that there was insufficient data to conduct a formal evaluation of the sighting.
