UFO Sighting in Dayton, Ohio in 1956

Summary

In May 1956, a high school student in Dayton, Ohio, reported an object resembling a blue street lamp, with a solid appearance, no sound, and a tear-drop shape with a short tail. The object, approximately the size of a dime and ten feet long, was observed for five seconds and moved southeast. Although initially considered a meteor, the report concluded there was insufficient data to determine its nature with certainty. This case is part of the records of Project 10073, a U.S. Air Force initiative to investigate unidentified flying objects.
