Project 10073 Record — Greenville, Ohio, October 24, 1967

This document consists of a Project 10073 record and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on October 24, 1967, near Vandalia, Ohio. A civilian witness reported observing bright, rhythmic flashes in the sky between 7:00 and 8:00 P.M. on a rainy, cloudy evening. The witness compared the flashes to those produced by helium weather balloons used at airport runways. The witness noted that the object moved steadily to the south and remained visible for approximately three minutes, even when viewed through binoculars. The witness also reported experiencing television interference during the event. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division (FTD), attempted to follow up on the report by sending an FTD Form 164 to the witness for completion. However, the form was not returned. Consequently, Colonel James C. Manatt, Director of Technology and Subsystems, concluded that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation. The Air Force also confirmed that no other reports of unidentified aerial phenomena were received from the Vandalia area on the date in question.
