🇺🇸 USAF — Project Blue Book
Two notable UFO sightings occurred in Dayton, Ohio, during 1961. In June, a witness described a bright object with dark edges that remained stationary in the sky. Investigators concluded it was likely Venus, as its position and brightness matched the description. Other reports mentioned lights changing color and shape, raising more questions than answers. In some cases, astronomical phenomena were ruled out, while others considered meteors or artificial lights. Descriptions ranged from objects disappearing and reappearing to lights moving at unusual speeds, adding mystery to the events.
