Narrative

On 25 August 1956 at 0157Z near Westerville, Ohio, a civilian observer along with his wife and grandson observed a rounded red light at very high altitude. The object appeared as large as a basketball initially, faded and diminished in size to that of a softball, with no tail, sound, or trail; observed for approximately 10 minutes. B-47s were departing Lockbourne AFB at 10-minute intervals. A second related Bellefontaine OH report from 27 August (5157Z 25 AUG) included a sister sighting; intel officer 1/Lt Edward Larson noted UFOB believed to be jet aircraft.
