Summary

On July 18, 1962, a civilian in Centerville, Ohio, reported an object in the sky. The report was filed on the Project 10073 record card, the Air Force's official record for unidentified flying object reports.

The witness was outdoors in a residential area. The questionnaire describes the object as appearing as a light. Much of the detail on the card and questionnaire is faint in this document, including the time and the object's behavior.

The record card does not give a clear final Air Force conclusion in the readable portion of this document. The card includes a standard note about the report not constituting a threat to the security of the United States.
