AI-Generated Summary
A 1968 UFO sighting in Cincinnati, Ohio, involving three witnesses, was closed as 'insufficient data' because the witnesses failed to return the required Air Force follow-up questionnaire.
This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a UFO sighting reported in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 20, 1968. The report indicates that three civilian witnesses observed a single object for approximately 15 minutes starting at 2130L. The witness described the object as initially appearing like a planet, which then became very bright and displayed flashing white, red, and green lights. The observer, who identified themselves as holding a commercial pilot license, noted the presence of two widely separated objects. The Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division, attempted to investigate the sighting by sending an AF Form 117 questionnaire to the witness. However, the witness failed to return the completed form within the required 30-day period. Consequently, Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of the Aerial Phenomena Office, concluded that there was insufficient data for a scientific investigation. The file includes the original project record, a formal letter from the Air Force requesting the necessary documentation, and the partially completed sighting questionnaire.
