This document is a collection of records pertaining to a UAP sighting reported in Xenia, Ohio, on May 17, 1967. The primary witness, a 32-year-old female, reported observing four lights in the sky for approximately one hour and fifteen minutes, beginning at 23:30. She was accompanied by a 15-year-old witness, Karen Lee Ennis. The witness described the lights as having various colors, including yellow, green, blue, and red, and noted that they moved in complex patterns, including moving in front of each other, moving up and down, and disappearing and reappearing. The witness also noted a high-pitched sound and suggested that the lights appeared to be reflected on clouds, creating a three-dimensional effect. The witness initially hesitated to report the sighting, fearing it might be related to weather balloons or helicopters from the nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The report includes a formal request from the Foreign Technology Division (AFSC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for the witness to complete an FTD Form 164 for further scientific evaluation. The final conclusion recorded on the document suggests the phenomena were likely the planet Jupiter and possibly aircraft, with specific azimuth and elevation coordinates provided in handwritten notes.
The red and green lights which crossed the object (or light) were like the lights that go down the runways at the base.
