Project 10073 Records — UFO Sightings, Dayton, Ohio, October 1968

This document contains records from Project 10073 regarding two separate UFO sighting reports in Dayton, Ohio, during October 1968. The first incident occurred on October 5, 1968, involving a civilian observer who reported seeing a UFO for approximately five minutes. The second incident occurred on October 19, 1968, involving another civilian observer who reported an object for approximately 30 minutes. In both cases, the observers provided descriptions of the objects, including sketches and details about their appearance, such as colors (yellow, red, blue) and behaviors like flickering or glowing. The Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, responded to these reports by sending AF Form 117 questionnaires to the observers to gather more detailed information for a scientific investigation. However, the records indicate that these forms were not returned by the observers as of November 1968 and January 1969, respectively. Consequently, the official conclusion for both cases was 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.' The documents include the formal correspondence from Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of the Aerial Phenomena Office, requesting the completion of the forms, as well as the blank and partially filled-out questionnaires provided by the observers.
