this?” tf walked over to where she was and observed what apneared to be
a2 red lieht shining throngh the overcast. At first, I thought it was a
passing light on an aircraft, approaching directl7 toward ne through
she overcast. It then started to rotate slowly in small circles, and
climb at a slow rate (see drawing), and then vanished similar to an o
served lizht bulb <t fifteen (15) feet when switched off.
Ine ted object waa cil 9 yoo te by a red halo in the overcast that
equaled annroximatel;y five (5) times the width of the object. There
was no s oe ye of an aircrart engine 1& the tire of the sighting or for
five int tes followins sie sighting, at which time I went into tke house
to phone “in a report. ‘ere was no other sound that I could identity
as being emitted from “he object. The total tine of obsez rvati on was 3
to 7 seconds.
Arter calling Litelligence, I had my wife sit down and write out
her impressions of what she had noticed, whicn are attached, and I ace
complisned the attache? drawing. I had the impression that the object
was not a complete srhere but had " slieght protuberance on the ton. I
asked my wife if she --nsidered the object a verfect svhere. She stated
"Ho, it looked simila: «oc a blown scap bubble just previous to breaking
away from the blow pive, slightly enlongated at the top."
The following morning I called Weather and found that at the time
of sighting the ceiling was 1400 feet and overcast was very thin and
could almost be seen throughs

Dayton, Ohio . 2), February 1953
I. Description of Incident
A civilian woman contacted ATIC concerning a yellowish-white object which
she had observed at 2130 EST for two successive days for periods ranging from
3 to 30 minutes. The object was described as oblong shaped and very low on
the horizon with the manner of disappearance in both sightings being caused by
its sinking below the horizon. The object was seen at a due west position each
time.
Ii. Discussion of Incident
The source, although of average intelligence, is not an experienced observer
and 14 is quite certain that she witnessed the setting of an astronomical body
such as Venus.
{if. Conclusion
Probably astronomical.
