Summary

On May 10, 1964, a witness in Warrensville Heights, Ohio, observed a rectangular object in the sky while stargazing. Using a 36x telescope, they saw a white object that gradually turned green. Initially thought to be a star, its rectangular shape under the telescope caused confusion. The object moved slowly northeast, remaining at a low elevation. The official report classified it as a probable balloon, but the witnesses couldn't determine its speed or exact size.

The observation lasted about five minutes, and the object disappeared at around 35 degrees elevation. Despite clear weather and ideal conditions, the witnesses had no specialized astronomical training. The report includes precise coordinates and times, but no photos or radar confirmations. The detailed description and lingering doubts reflect the typical ambiguity of many UFO cases.
