UFO sighted in Columbus, Ohio, in 1966

Summary

In May 1966, a witness in Columbus, Ohio, reported seeing an object in the sky that was brighter than the moon. The object appeared as a stationary light and was described as similar to the moon but much brighter. The observation lasted a few minutes, and the report was sent to Lockbourne AFB for analysis. However, investigators concluded that there was not enough information to evaluate the case. The witness was asked to complete a detailed questionnaire to provide more data, but no response was received within 30 days. The case remained unresolved.

The testimony included questions about the object's color, shape, movement, and whether it had any kind of tail or trail. The witness did not use optical instruments and observed the phenomenon outdoors. Despite being asked to describe the object with precision, the information provided was limited. The official Project 10073 report concluded that the data was insufficient for a conclusive evaluation.
