Fireball in Dayton Ohio

Summary

An 11-year-old boy reported seeing a fireball in Dayton, Ohio, on June 10, 1956. The object was moving south and was observed from the ground. Initially thought to be a balloon or aircraft, the lack of detailed information made identification difficult.

The report notes that the witness provided very little data, leading to the conclusion that the information was insufficient for an accurate evaluation. The Air Force reviewed the case and considered it could be a jet aircraft, but no confirmation was reached. The testimony, though brief, is part of the records showing how sightings were handled during that time.
