We spotted a brightly lit object in the sky, and initially thought it was a bright star; however it started jumping around and changed locations. It was hovering, rather than flying and making a humming noise similar to a generator. It was a cloudy night, so it would disappear then come back. We saw it again around 8:02 pm (when the video was taken) and it was in a different location still hovering and moving around. I do have a video but it is too large to upload.

The night of the above date my father and I were spending the night at Moundsville St Penn in West Virginia. I have been there before overnight, my life is very active with outside the norm . Upon inspection of the cell block I noticed on the second tier movement ( there is no electricity so it’s headlamps only ) I noticed AN EBE - standing still against a cell door. It was making a weird clicking noise . My father mentioned his head was vibrating ( had us a combat veteran and basically deaf ) . My head was vibrating also . It was making clicking noises with its fingers . I have lots of details and photos but I’ve been ridiculed. Mufon only took me half seriously. I witnessed a solid object that night communicating and running
