UFO sighted in Ohio in 1966

Summary

A 1966 report describes a UFO sighting in Ravenna, Ohio, during the early morning of April 17. Sheriff Dale F. Spaur and other witnesses followed the object for about 80 miles, from Ohio to Pennsylvania. The object, described as oblong with an antenna, emitted a very bright silvery light that blinded the driver. It moved slowly and then accelerated suddenly. Despite calls to control towers and National Guard units, there was no radar detection or air response. Local police denied any connection to the sighting, and it was mentioned that a photo of the UFO had been taken but not released. The investigation concluded the phenomenon could have been Venus, though it was not confirmed.
