UFO Observation, 6 July 1968

This document consists of a Project Blue Book record regarding a reported UFO sighting in Clayton, Ohio, on 6 July 1968. The official record indicates that the Aerial Phenomena Office attempted to gather information by sending an AF Form 117 to the observer. However, as of 3 September 1968, the form had not been returned. Consequently, the official conclusion for the case was 'Insufficient data for evaluation.' The file includes a memorandum from Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., dated 1 July 1968, requesting the witness to complete the provided form. Additionally, the file contains a handwritten note from a Duty Officer (signed 'Capt, SDO & Just') suggesting that the SDO (Staff Duty Officer) should be aware of the administrative burden associated with processing UFO reports, noting that filling out 10-page reports for every call 'gets old fast.' A separate, undated note mentions that a reported UFO was actually a concern regarding an aircraft equipped with lights on the under-wing that flash and rotate, operated by Barnes Aerial Advertising of Ft. Madison, Iowa, out of Dayton, Montgomery County Airport.
