Information received from Captain Boyd. District Intelligence Office,
320 Old Post Office, Columbus, Ohio
Unconventional aircraft sighted by Mrs. Wilda Zittek, 2579 Avalon Ave.• Columbus
at 0920 on 8 July. Weather was clear, sun shi ning brightly, no clouds near the
object.
She first saw the object with her naked eye, then spent two minutes
looking for binoculars.
Observed the object for about two minutes with them.
There were two flying objects; both appeared to have a blunt front and seemed
to taper to a point at the rear.
The shape was very much like a cigar. The
sun was shining on them and they appeared to be silver in color. With the
naked eye, they appeared to be about the size of airplane when writing in the
sky.
They were about 3½
11 in length and 111 in diameter. In other words, they
seemed to be a l i ttle more than three times the diameter in length. Speed
was not estimated.
Observed for approximately four minutes.
When first seen,
they were headed northeast. Seemed to pob up and down rather than pursuing
a set and steady course .
Altitude was judged to be approximately 3000 ft .
No sound audible from the object; no exhaust trail visible.
First seen in
. east going toward ~rt Columbus, then moved generally north from there.

At 2147 hours on 9 July 19.!$, the undersigned sighted an unidentified object
f l ying from east to west at appr oximately three or four thousand feet over the north
end of Osbor n, Ohio.
2 .
'.lhe object appeared as a pale yellowish white light that seemed to glow. It
was not a direct beam. 'lhe l ight was traveli ng at a rate of speed between five or
six hvn~red miles .
It appeared long enough to allow the observer to determine its
flight path {approximately one to t?ro seconds) and then went out• Ther e was a pause
of three seconds . the light then reappeared again for the same length of time , another
three- second pause and the patter n was repeated•
After the third appearance i t was
~
seen again.
'lhe final sighting was made with the object at an angle of approximately
9
to the horizon in f ront of the observer who WtiS l ooking nor th .
n>.e last sighting
was slightl y above the horizon to the west, just north of Pattern Fiel d.
'.Ihe inter­
mittent appear ance of the light was at a regulated i nterval ,
3•
'.Ihe sky was clear with about a quarter moon r ising in the East- southeast;
h01Jever, nothing could be ascert ained except the glow of the light, 'lhere was no sound
or trail...
4•
'.Ihe undersigned was a reconnaissance pilot in World War II and served for
eight months in the 160th Reconnaissance Sqd. (J.P.) f l yi ng FP...go type aircraft,
It is believed that his power s of observation ar e above average and that the estimates
of speed can be consider ed to be fairly aoouratet

1.
Proceeded to the home of Mr • Howard Enslow in Gahanna. Ohio, with an Agent of
the 109th CIC Detachment at 1000, 10 July 191.$ •
2.
Interviewed Mrs . Howard Enslow who stated that on the night of l July 19~
between 2100 and 2200 hours, she, Mr . Ensl ow, Mr . and Mr s . Chester Taylor and th~ir Sons,
Harol d and Jack, of 400 Grove st., Columbus, Ohio, sighted an unident ified object flying
through the air.
Mrs. Ensl ow described it as a "Beautiful goiden saucer glowing like a
halo with a silver rim around it. n Direction of flight was from North...st to South­
west and the object was visible for approximately therr second•• Subject was very vague a
Jilil..d appeared to attr ibute the phenomena to holy visitati ons .
Was unable to contact
-W Enslow,.
3•
Proceeded to the home of Mr . Chester Taylor and intervi~wed his son Jack, age
23, 'Who had three years service and is now active in the National Guard. He st ated that
the object was a bright yellow-'White light that moved through the sky at a terrific rate
of sp,ied.
It was e. glow and not a directed light and was about two seconds in duration.
It ditntt fade out but ceased abruptly.
The line of flight appeared to be flat and the
object appeared from the Northeast going Southwest, at an al titude of about three or
four thousand.feet.
'lhere was no audible noise althcugh it was a quiet night and the
object appeared olose in at an angle to the horizon of about forty- five degrees .
Although the sky was clear and the moon was bright nothing but the light was seen.
4.
~!r . Tayl or' s story was the same as that of hi s sonts.
Mrs . Taylor was in the
oar and did not observe the phenomena.
ihe other witness was not readily available.
5•
Proceeded to the s ight of the observation and determined that, under the con­
diti ons of course and altitude as estimated by the subject, it was possible that their
Aie of vision was r estricted by a gr ove of trees thus limiting the obser ved line of
i'fight to the two three- second periods reporte d•
