UFO Observation Report — Cincinnati, Ohio, 15 September 1967

This document contains the records of a UFO sighting reported on 15 September 1967 in Reading, Ohio. The witness, a woman, reported observing a bright red object that later appeared as two white objects. She described the motion as random, with no established pattern, noting that the objects moved toward and away from each other and circled one another. The observation lasted between 45 minutes and one hour. The witness was on the telephone with Wright-Patterson Air Force Base during the event, reporting the activity as it occurred. The witness noted that she had seen something similar in 1949. The Air Force conducted an investigation, which included contacting the Reading City Police Department, who reported no logs of such a sighting. The Air Force repeatedly requested that the witness complete a formal questionnaire (AF Form 117 or FTD Form 164) to provide sufficient data for a scientific evaluation. However, the witness failed to return the completed forms within the required timeframe. Consequently, the official conclusion of the Foreign Technology Division was that there was insufficient data for evaluation. The file includes correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt and Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., requesting the necessary documentation from the witness to proceed with an investigation.
