Summary

# Summary of UFO Sighting Near Kettering, Ohio, June 1962

On a night in June 1962, a civilian observer in the Kettering, Ohio area reported seeing an unidentified object in the sky. The witness watched the object move across the sky at what they estimated to be very slow speed. The sighting lasted for a period of time, though the exact duration is difficult to determine from the heavily degraded OCR text on the case file's final pages.

The object eventually disappeared from view. According to the Air Force's evaluation form, the case was classified as unknown, meaning investigators could not identify what the witness had observed.

The case file consists of 10 pages held in the National Archives, including the standard Air Force questionnaire that was completed by the witness to document their observations.
