Project 10073 Record: Sighting Report - Springfield, Ohio, 28 February 1969

This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a UFO sighting reported in Springfield, Ohio, on February 28, 1969. The observer, a student at Keifer Jr. High School, reported seeing a disc-shaped object with a dome and an antenna. The observer estimated the object's speed at 30 to 60 MPH and noted that it was approximately 30 feet away. The observer also reported feeling a vibration and hearing a hum. The official conclusion of the report is that it is an 'unreliable report,' noting that the account is confusing and contains conflicting points. It is also noted that the observer had reported seeing several UFOs previously. The file includes a letter from Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., of the Aerial Phenomena Office, requesting further information from the observer, as the initial report was insufficient for a scientific investigation. The observer's response includes a postscript complaining about the cost of the phone call made to report the sighting, noting that it exceeded their allowance. The document also includes various weather maps for the period of February 1969, which appear to be part of the broader archive context rather than specific to this incident.
