Project 10073 Record — Wyoming, Ohio, 31 May 1968

This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a UFO sighting reported on May 31, 1968, in Wyoming, Ohio. The observer, a retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel with 27 years of experience as an Air Force pilot, reported seeing a bright red flashing light that appeared over the General Electric plant at Evandale. The object initially appeared as a single light, then as two bright red flashing lights directly overhead. The observer noted yellowish-red, torch-like lights appearing to fall from the object before it suddenly disappeared. The observation lasted for one hour and thirty minutes. The observer noted that numerous aircraft were operating normally in the vicinity of the Boone County Airport in Cincinnati at the time. The official conclusion reached by the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) was that the phenomenon was likely a 'garmet bag hot air balloon,' noting that the description matched such an object and that the wind at the time was blowing to the southeast. The file includes extensive meteorological data, including daily weather maps for the period surrounding the sighting, to support the analysis of wind patterns and atmospheric conditions.
