Incident #140, a -- Yahanna, Ohio -- 1 July 1948

The object sighted here was probably a bright, slow-moving meteor. It is described as a "bright yellow-white light," moving at a "terrific" rate of speed, and was in sight for two or three seconds.

This investigator is again struck by the reference to the ubiquitous moon. "Bright moonlight" was reported; at the stated hour of observation, the moon had not yet risen.
