Summary

In October 1947, a woman in Xenia, Ohio, observed a silver round object moving quickly at an altitude between 1000 and 1500 meters. The object was 12 inches in diameter and maintained a straight course. Although the possibility of a meteor was considered, the lack of details such as the duration of the observation or the presence of a trail made this explanation unlikely. The official report concluded that there was not enough information to determine its origin.

The case was recorded in Project GRUDGE, where thousands of sightings were evaluated. This incident was categorized as "low probability" for an astronomical explanation. Despite the clear description of the object, many key details were missing, making any definitive interpretation difficult. The file, though incomplete, shows how researchers of the time tried to understand unexplained aerial phenomena.
