Summary

In October 1958, a witness in Xenia, Ohio, reported seeing two bright points of light with a blue tint moving together from east to west. The observation lasted about a minute, and the objects disappeared over the horizon. The report includes details such as the exact time (19:30) and the precise location of the witness, who was driving from Yellow Springs to Xenia. The observer stopped the car to get a better look at the objects, which made no sound and behaved unusually.

The official conclusion suggests the objects could have been test aircraft equipped with anti-collision lights. These planes had taken off shortly before the sighting, which aligns with the witness's description. Although no photos were taken and there were no other witnesses, the report considers the most plausible explanation to be of aerial origin. The case was archived without further investigation, but it remains a classic example of how UFO reports were handled at the time.
