Project 10873 Record — Miamisburg, Ohio, February 1969

This document details a Project Blue Book case, identified as Project 10873, concerning a civilian sighting in Miamisburg, Ohio, in February 1969. The primary record indicates that an unnamed civilian observer contacted a Duty Officer to report that they had captured a photograph of an unidentified aerial phenomenon. The observer expressed a desire to know the nature of the object. However, the investigation was hampered by the observer's failure to provide the necessary documentation. Specifically, the observer did not submit the required AF Form 117 or the photograph itself by the established deadline of 15 April 1969. Consequently, Lt. Col. Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of the Aerial Phenomena Branch, issued a formal request to the observer, noting that the information received was insufficient for a scientific analysis and requesting the completion of the AF Form 117, a photo-data sheet, and the submission of the original negatives. The final conclusion recorded for the project is that there was insufficient data for evaluation.
