UFO sighted in Waynesville Ohio in 1960

Summary

In 1960, a witness in Waynesville, Ohio, reported a unidentified flying object moving from east to west. The sighting lasted between 1 and 2 minutes, and the object was described as a bright light that suddenly disappeared. The witness thought it could be a balloon, an aircraft, or an astronomical phenomenon. However, it was not possible to determine the nature of the object with certainty due to insufficient data. The official report concluded it was probably a balloon or an aircraft, but other possibilities were also considered.

The object was observed approximately 13 miles from Waynesville and was moving at a considerable altitude. The witness and his wife, who also saw the phenomenon, could not identify it with certainty. Investigators concluded there was not enough evidence to determine if it was an aerial object, a balloon, or an astronomical phenomenon. Despite the uncertainties, the report suggests the object was likely not a UFO, but a phenomenon explainable with conventional knowledge.
