Dayton Ohio Area, July 1962July 1962

Insufficient Data

Summary

On July 19, 1962, a civilian in the Dayton, Ohio, area 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 questionnaire and brief summary on the card are heavily faded in this document. The readable text suggests the object was visible to the witness and that the planet Mars or a star was considered as a possible explanation. The exact time, motion, and other details cannot be clearly read.

The card's conclusion text is not clearly legible, so no firm Air Force conclusion can be reported here.
