This document contains the record of a UFO sighting reported on 4 September 1968 by a civilian witness in Blanchester, Ohio. The witness, who was driving a station wagon on Middleboro Road near the corporation limits of Blanchester, observed a bright light for approximately 15 minutes. The witness described the object as a 'real bright light' that 'seemed to focus to ground' and noted that the light 'hit him in the eyes.' The object eventually moved away 'real fast' and 'faded away.' The witness reported the incident to the Air Force, which subsequently sent an AF Form 117 questionnaire to the observer for completion. The official conclusion recorded by the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) was 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION,' noting that the requested form had not been returned by the witness as of 6 November 1968. The document includes the original Project 10073 record, a formal letter from Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr. of the Aerial Phenomena Office requesting the completion of the form, and the blank questionnaire provided to the witness.
