UFO seen like a truck in Ohio in 1958

Summary

In April 1958, a witness in Kettering, Ohio, observed an object described as a truck with a white flame. The sighting lasted about 30 seconds, and the object moved from south to east and then northeast, disappearing near WPAFB. Although the witness did not take photos, he concluded it was probably an aircraft. The description of the object as "very slender" and without a trail suggests it could have been a non-conventional plane or a prototype.

The report includes drawings by the witness showing the object's path and shape, with no additional details. The testimony was provided by a 14-year-old student, adding interest to the case since children often give more direct and less biased descriptions. Despite the lack of technical data, the Air Force concluded it was probably an aircraft, closing the case without further investigation.
