Summary

A witness in Farmersville, Ohio, reported in November 1967 seeing an object that appeared like a first quarter moon. However, the observer did not believe it was the moon because, according to their knowledge, it shouldn't have been visible at that time. The object remained stationary for three minutes and was located at 20 degrees elevation, 12 degrees south of west. The report includes a letter from Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who concluded that the object was clearly the moon, although the observer had misinterpreted it due to a lack of astronomical knowledge. The FTD (Foreign Technology Division) of the U.S. Air Force also supported this conclusion, noting that the moon was indeed visible and that the location and timing matched its setting in Farmersville.
