Multicolored object observed in Ohio in 1966

Summary

In August 1966, a civilian witness in Rossburg, Ohio, observed an unidentified aerial object for 30 minutes. The object, appearing round and oval, displayed alternating red, green-blue, and white colors. It remained stationary and suddenly vanished from view. The observer used binoculars and noted that the object flickered, changed brightness, and reappeared. It was located far away, aligned with the star Capella. No physical evidence or sound was detected.

The report, part of the U.S. Air Force's Project 10073, collected data on unidentified aerial phenomena. The observer detailed the object's characteristics and behavior, though no movement behind clouds or other elements was recorded. The report's conclusion suggested an astronomical explanation, possibly related to a celestial phenomenon. The testimony includes schematic drawings of the object's shape and trajectory, although it was not conclusively identified.
