I saw a red glowing light, which I thought was a missile of some kind. It was flying rapidly from the direction of Germantown, Ohio in a Southeast direction toward Cincinnati, Ohio. It stopped at a certain point and stayed there. I ran in to notify a facebook friend to try and get a witness, but it was gone when I ran back out. I’m living in the most Western part of Franklin, Ohio, in Franklin Township. That’s all I know except that it was all red and not travelling in a perfectly straight line, but first straight, then it turned Westward and came to a stop. It was there and stopped for about 30 seconds before I thought to get a witness.

3 of us were on the porch at 10:00 pm looking at the skys as we do every night. No drinking or drugs involved. I was taking pictures with my night vision camera phone of the sky.I saw nothing.Then I turned around again and saw this bright star looking thing that was white bright glowing object about, a street over.We live in the country. Then it moves to the left. My family said, it's a plane. I said, it's not moving, it's not a plane. So they kept laughing at me until it disappeared. It re-appeared farther away and dipped down behind houses then suddenly it rose up and lit up lights that circled around it, that's when I snapped a picture again but my camera hesitates on night vision and it got it, but it didn't get the whole craft. I got 2 different pictures of lights that were red and a picture of the clouds where you can see something huge and red in the clouds. Then it left. This is happening almost evening Every night here. I just didn't believe myself until last night. The color red that appears on my pictures is quite different quality of light. It's not a color I've ever seen before. The brightness is like a star brigbt. If that makes any sense.I have pictures but of course they aren't the best.

Last night I stepped out into my backyard about 8:30 pm and out a distance from me through a tree clearing I saw a round object with red and white vivid bright lights hovering with no noise what so ever. It seemed to be spinning but not so fast that I could not make out the light colors. I was in shock and walked closer to my door in fear but continued to watch. And then it just disappeared. It was definitely not an airplane. My dog was outside with me and began barking as well.
