Project 10073 Records: Sighting Reports for 15 March 1969 and 18 March 1969, New Carlisle, Ohio

This document contains records from Project 10073 regarding two separate UFO sightings reported by the same civilian observer in New Carlisle, Ohio, in March 1969. The first incident occurred on 15 March 1969, lasting approximately 15 minutes. The observer initially described the object as very bright, red-orange, and self-luminous. However, a follow-up memo for the record dated 2 April 1969 notes that the observer contacted the UFO Office to identify the stimulus of this sighting as a barn light. Notably, the observer reported experiencing physical symptoms after this event, specifically a rash of 'red bumps' on her face and torso, and a sensation that her hair 'felt funny' during the sighting. The second incident occurred on 18 March 1969, lasting 5 to 7 minutes. The observer reported a white, flickering light with blue and red tints. The official conclusion for this second sighting was 'Probable (Aircraft),' with the note that no evidence was presented to indicate the object was not an aircraft. The observer's questionnaire for the 18 March sighting indicates she had previously reported other phenomena, including a 'brilliant white object' five years prior and an 'orange boomerang' four years prior. The documents include standard U.S. Air Force sighting questionnaires, a memo for the record, and handwritten notes detailing the observer's experiences and physical complaints.
