This document contains records related to a UFO sighting reported in Fairborn, Ohio, on September 14, 1969. The primary record, filed under Project 10073, indicates that a 15-year-old male witness observed an unidentified phenomenon for approximately 20 minutes. The observation was ground-visual, but the witness provided no further details regarding the object's shape, speed, or behavior. The Air Force, specifically the Aerial Phenomena Office within the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, reviewed the initial report and determined that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific investigation. A letter dated September 25, 1969, signed by Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., was sent to the witness requesting that they complete an AF Form 117 to provide more comprehensive data. However, the envelope containing this request was returned to the Air Force by the postal service, marked as 'Unclaimed' and 'Unknown,' indicating that the witness could not be reached at the provided address. The case file concludes with the assessment of 'Insufficient Data' and a note to 'See Case Files.'
