This sighting occurred in the summer or fall of 1967 or 1968 - the date is uncertain because the report was made in March of 1989.
Two women in their early twenties - we shall name them Linda and Jan - were drinking with friends at the Diamond Club over near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Dayton, Ohio. Linda spilled beer on herself and asked her girl friend Jan to drive her home so that she could change clothes. Jan was a bit miffed at Linda because she thought Linda had spilled the beer on purpose because she didn't like the clothes she was wearing, but she agreed to take her home anyway. They drove east on Stanley Avenue to Route 4, and then drove north. Jan missed the exit she was looking for and continued to drive to the next one whereupon she turned to the right going east. Discovering that she couldn't get back on Route 4 and return to the correct exit, she ended up on a small rural road.
It was dark. Not knowing where the road would take them, Jan hoped to find a gas station so that she could ask for directions back to the main highway. Jan described what happened next. "So we were just driving along and the road kind of bends to the right. And here's this bright light [to their left]. Just about blinds me, and I thought what a bad place to put a light. Then looking closer, it was a spaceship. And, I don't remember, [but] I think before we made the bend the radio kinda' got some static in it. And then we saw the spaceship. It mighta' been a hum, a slight hum. I'm not sure, but it was just sitting there. Huge. The first thing I thought of when I saw it was, it was a restaurant. I have no idea why I thought that...it had windows all the way around. There was a bright light, white light, going from panel to panel, like circling it. And we looked at each other and looked back and said, 'That's a spaceship. What is it doing there.?' We didn't stop. Don't know why. We didn't stop that I know of." The women proceeded ahead a short way and turned a corner to the right. They looked back and the strange "restaurant" was gone.
When she first saw the "restaurant" she noted that it was behind a fence with no openings. She thought to herself, "Now, they wouldn't put a restaurant behind a fence." The "restaurant" was larger than a house. The lights she reported seeing traveled counterclockwise around the saucer shaped object at a fairly fast pace. In the distance she could see a building which she assumed was part of the WPAFB complex. The field the "restaurant" was in was large and flat.
They didn't talk about the object any further; Jan was looking for a gas station or someone to ask directions of. Between a mile and a mile and a half down the road they found a small country gas station with two pumps out front on the right side of the road. A man was standing out front dressed in "country-like" clothing. The women didn't get out of their car. The man came over and they asked how to get back to the main highway. Jan does not remember what he said but she does remember him pointing. At that point her memory stops. "I don't know if we ever got to her house, if she changed clothes, and I don't know what happened. All I remember is getting back to the Diamond Club and them saying, 'Where have you been?'" The women's friends asked them why they were gone so long. Jan replied, "We weren't gone long. We went straight over there and I came back." When they mentioned seeing a space ship, everyone laughed. They never mentioned it again.
Two weeks later Jan began to wonder if she did see a space ship so she called Linda up on the telephone, but she didn't ask her about the event even though that was the reason she called. Jan noted, "And when I'd see her, I never seemed to think to ask her." She found that to be strange. Two weeks later Jan tried to find where the sighting occurred. She told the investigator, "I found the area and the spaceship wasn't there and there was no nothin' on the ground, showing it had been there. But I don't know now if I dreamed that or if I did really go back. 'Cause I never found it since. I can't remember if I really did go back." (The investigator thought he knew where the gas station was and later found it with no difficulty. It had been modernized and had four modern pumps.)
Jan recalls taking several women home from the Diamond Club. She said that she had trouble sleeping that night. She further stated that she had not had much to drink, even though see was at the club much of the night.
