UFO identified as Venus in Ohio

Summary

In March 1966, a highway patrol officer in Ohio observed a mysterious object in the sky. The object remained stationary for 15 minutes and was initially considered an unidentified phenomenon. However, after a later evaluation, it was determined that the object was nothing more than the planet Venus. A key witness, after being informed by the air base, confirmed that what he saw was indeed Venus, resolving the case. Although photographs were taken, they were not submitted for analysis by the Air Force, as the object had already been identified. The incident, though brief, generated local interest and was documented in official records.
