White UFO observed in Ohio in 1965

Summary

In 1965, a witness in Dayton, Ohio, reported a white, round object in the sky. The object appeared about 60 degrees above the horizon while the observer was driving southwest at around 50 mph. The report notes that Venus was visible in the southwest, but the object did not appear to be a planet. The observer noted that the object was not a windshield reflection, as its position was lower than 60 degrees. The document, part of a U.S. Air Force questionnaire, seeks detailed information on unidentified aerial phenomena.

The analysis concludes that the object did not show sudden changes in speed or shape, and was not identified as a known celestial body. The description suggests the object was about the size of a bright star but with sharp outlines. Although no sounds or smoke were reported, the observer could not accurately estimate the distance or speed of the object. The report does not mention additional witnesses or photographs, but indicates the event occurred at night with a partly cloudy sky.
