Red ball in Dayton Ohio

Summary

A woman from Dayton, Ohio, called to report a strange phenomenon in the sky. On December 15, 1945, at 12:30, she observed a large red ball that repeatedly appeared and disappeared. She described it as saucer-shaped. She watched it for about half an hour, though the sky was cloudy. The witness estimated the object to be less than 45 degrees above the horizon. Despite the duration of the observation, no photos were taken and no physical evidence was found.
