Project 10073 Record — Miamisburg, Ohio, 29 August 1968

This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Miamisburg, Ohio, on August 29, 1968. The primary witness, a 13-year-old student, reported observing a moving light in the sky while looking at stars. The witness described the object as a circular, fuzzy, yellow-to-red light that exhibited jerky motion and traveled in a North-Northeast (NNE) direction. The observation lasted approximately four minutes. The witness noted that the object appeared to return four separate times, with identical characteristics each time. The witness also mentioned that the object moved behind a telephone pole for a few seconds. The Air Force, through the Aerial Phenomena Office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, contacted the witness to request a formal statement via AF Form 117, as the initial information provided was deemed insufficient for a scientific investigation. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force for this incident was 'Probable (AIRCRAFT)'. The file includes the original correspondence from Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., the questionnaire completed by the witness, and sketches illustrating the object's path and appearance.
