Insufficient Data

Summary

On July 16, 1956, around midnight, witnesses near Homerville, Ohio saw two objects with lights like aircraft lights. The objects made a humming sound. Each appeared about the size between a pea and a dime held at arm's length. They moved toward the southeast and kept a steady altitude. The objects then faded from view over some trees. The sighting lasted about three minutes. This was a civilian, ground visual report.

The report was filed on Project 10073, the Air Force's official record for unidentified flying object reports. The card marks the conclusion as possibly aircraft.
