Project 10073 Record — Dayton, Ohio, 29 November 1969

On 29 November 1969, at 1912 EST, a civilian observer in the Huber Heights area of Dayton, Ohio, reported sighting a single, yellowish-white, glowing, round object. The object was observed for approximately 30 seconds as it traveled from the north-northeast to the north-northwest. The witness, a 12-year-old, described the object as a solid, round circle that appeared flattened on the top and bottom. The witness estimated the speed at 100 mph and noted a low noise, though they were uncertain if the sound originated from the object. The sighting ended when the object disappeared behind houses. The official conclusion reached by the Foreign Technology Division of the Department of the Air Force was that the object was a 'Probable Aircraft.' The report notes that aircraft arriving and departing from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base frequently fly over the Huber Heights area, and investigators concluded there was no reason to assume the sighting was of anything other than an aircraft. The document also contains a series of daily weather maps for November 1969, which appear to be supplementary reference material included in the file.
