UFO Sighted in Dayton, Ohio in 1966

Summary

In May 1966, a witness in Dayton, Ohio reported an unidentified flying object that appeared as a gray glare with red and green dots. The observer described three or four luminous points the size of an eraser. The object moved eastward and disappeared behind trees, accompanied by a whistling sound. The observation lasted about 15 seconds and was classified as a meteor. Although the official report suggested a natural explanation, the detailed description of the phenomenon and the associated sound raise questions about its true nature.

The testimony includes specific questions about the angular size, direction, and appearance of the object, indicating a meticulous approach by the authorities. Despite no physical evidence or photographs, the testimony was recorded as part of Project 10073, a U.S. Air Force effort to investigate UFO sightings. This case, like many others from that era, reflects a blend of scientific curiosity and concern over unexplained phenomena in the sky.
