Project 10073 Record - Northridge, Ohio - 29 July 1968

This document contains a record from Project 10073 regarding a UFO sighting reported in Northridge, Ohio, on July 29, 1968. A civilian observer reported seeing a bright white-blue light traveling from the North to the South-Southeast for approximately one and a half minutes. The observer noted that no noise was heard during the event. The Air Force, specifically the Aerial Phenomena Office under the Foreign Technology Division, attempted to investigate the report. On August 5, 1968, Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr. sent a letter to the observer requesting the completion of an AF Form 117, as the initial information provided was deemed insufficient for a scientific investigation. The record indicates that as of September 5, 1968, the form had not been returned. Consequently, the official conclusion of the Aerial Phenomena Office was that there was insufficient data for evaluation, noting that the object could have been a satellite or an aircraft. The document also includes a separate, seemingly unrelated page regarding a C-130 Hercules aircraft test program involving a 'Battlefield Illumination Airborne Subsystem' (BIAS) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which appears to be an artifact of the archival process rather than the sighting itself.
