This document contains records from Project 10073 regarding a UFO sighting reported on July 4, 1967, in Bellbrook, Ohio. Two witnesses, a 19-year-old female and an 18-year-old male, reported observing a bright, white, oval-shaped light while traveling in a car. The witnesses described the object as moving in a peculiar manner, appearing to stop, fade, reappear, and follow their vehicle. They noted that the object was silent and lacked any visible wings, protrusions, smoke, or vapor trails. The observers estimated the object's size to be approximately four to five times the size of a match head held at arm's length. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, responded to the report by stating that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. They requested that the witnesses complete and return an FTD Form 164. The records indicate that the form was sent to the witnesses but was not returned within thirty days, leading to the final conclusion of 'insufficient data for evaluation.' The file also contains a separate, unrelated record regarding a satellite (Echo II) sighting, which was identified as a satellite passing over Northern Virginia.
The object seen was not like any regular air object I have ever seen.
