oct 20, 1947 - 10/20/1947 Dayton, OH sighting of two cigar-shaped craft near Wright Patterson AFB (Grok rendering) USAF report: "Impossible to draw definite conclusions. Extremely unlikely they were fireballs ... could say the cigarlike shape might have been an illusion caused by rapid motion ... This investigator does not prefer that interpretation, and it should be resorted to only if all other possible explanations fail"
