Summary

A 1960 report describes a circular and shiny object observed in Dayton, Ohio, that remained stationary in the sky. The witness described it as slightly larger than a pea at arm's length, with a metallic sheen and a gentle spinning motion. The observation lasted over 15 minutes, which was notable for its duration and stability. Investigators concluded the object was likely the star Vega, which was in the exact position reported. Although the witness couldn't estimate distance or speed, astronomical data matched Vega's location, suggesting a natural explanation. The report also included additional questions about speed and distance, but the witness could not answer them.
