Summary

In May 1949, a woman in Dayton, Ohio, observed an object reflecting sunlight. She described it as round and flat, like a disc, moving at high speed toward the northeast. The object had a shiny side with a golden or bronze color. Although no photos or physical evidence were taken, the witness stated it was larger and faster than any conventional aircraft.

The report notes that the object gradually climbed while continuously oscillating, as if "flipping over." Two witnesses saw it from their homes, and although they couldn't estimate its exact distance, they agreed on the description and movement direction. The incident was reported to the then Hq, A.M.C., and classified as an aircraft, but the possibility of an unidentified object was not ruled out.
