Witness describes bright object larger than the sun in Ohio

Summary

A civilian witness in Fairborn, Ohio, reported seeing a bright object larger than the sun that appeared to burn like a flame. The sighting occurred on August 7, 1966, and lasted about 10 minutes. The witness observed the object through clouds, and although initial considerations included atmospheric or natural phenomena, the object could not be identified with certainty. The Blue Book Project report concluded that the observation could not be evaluated with the available data, and the witness was asked to complete a detailed questionnaire to gather more information. The official letter from the military thanked the witness and highlighted the importance of such reports for further investigation.
