Report on UFO
At 0010 18 Feb
A < was called by a
(no middle initial)
who works at Brother's at
Ave in downtown Dayton.
According to , he and
were taking a
work break when they first
spotted the object.
The object was ^first seen at about
1202 recording to their watcher, and
was seen for a total time of around

2

1 1/2 minutes. At first, they thought it might have been a satellite, but the object did not behave as a satellite would.

The object appeared to be a bright rotating beacon of white light that would vanish and reappear. When first observed, it was at an elevation of about 80° projected on a SW azimuth (toward Cincinnati). It was traveling at a high rate of speed

in a horizontal path toward Cincinnati until it reached an elevation angle of about 65°. It then stopped suddenly and climbed vertically and then disappeared. After losing sight, it reappeared 6 sec. later and descended on the same path to a lower altitude from which it was originally observed. It was then noted that various (about 7 or 8) colored lights (red, blue, green, white, etc.) were located on the object below

4

the rotating white beacon light.

These colored lights did not describe
any specific pattern, such as a
circle or square, but some were
concentrated more in the center of
the pattern.

After reaching the lower altitude,
the object (now with the colored lights)
then ~~described~~ traveled in a very
wide circle around the Dayton area
at a very light rate of speed. The
witnesses said it could have

5

been at 40,000 ft. or higher, and
went from South to West to North,
and then back to the South again.
The total time it took to complete
the circle was only 1 minute. It
returned to its original starting point,
and then headed directly toward
at a high rate of speed.
Fairborns. Within 7 sec., it had
faded out of sight.

~~sounded~~ very
certain that this object could not
have been any aircraft he had

6

ever seen. He said he frequently
had watched aircraft taking off from
the base and nothing had ever
gone that fast or looked the
way the object looked at night.
He wanted to know if we had
seen anything on radar, and I told
him I would check.

I contacted Mj. E. Scott at the
SAC command post, who connected
me with the radar operators. I
told them the time and approximate
