Triangle over Bay Village, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As pulled out of my driveway and headed down the street, I noticed a glowing red light in the distance. I thought it was a drone. As we drove to the end of the Street the object had moved East and was hovering over a wooded area by the railroad tracks, about 15 yards away. We stopped and pulled over as there were now three lights that appeared on the triangle object. Red, green, and white. It would blink one light at a time changing color and then they would all turn red. Then only the center light would glow bright red. Out of nowhere we saw two more of these crafts. They made no sound at all and had little to no movement. We watched for about ten minutes. I am not sure how long these crafts were in the area, as we had to go, but it was something I cannot explain.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

I was dropping off cardboard at a recycling bin & I noticed a set of glowing reddish to white flashing lights. The sky was clear over Lake Erie & the lights caught my attention. I have lived in the area over 5 years and have used this location for over 2 years. I never saw these lights before. I then drove over to the park and watched these lights for about 3 minutes before the lights disappeared. I stayed there for about 2 minutes waiting for them to reappear, they did not. I went home, less than a 1/2 mile away. Approximately 30 minutes later I heard the unmistakable sound of a USCG Helicopter.

At 2:22 AM, I woke up to a sound as if someone was running a back hoe. The house was vibrating and I could also hear what sounded like a helicopter. I looked outside, didn't see anything but the noise lasted for 20-30 minutes at least. Later this afternoon, I contacted both of my neighbors whom also heard the sounds. One neighbor had her bedroom become brightly lite. The other neighbor heard the same sounds but assumed it was a crew working on the roads. I contacted the service department in our city and they said there was no work at 2:22 AM. I called ODOT, department of transportation and there was no work being done in our immediate area or near by that the sound could travel. A few years ago, I had a UFO fly over me in the back yard early in the morning and reported it to Mufon. It was triangular and had white lights. It was extremely low, just above the tree tops going towards the lake.

At approx. 10:30-11pm. while looking out of my 4th floor large bay window & skylight that overlooks Lake Erie, I suddenly saw reddish glowing circular objects approaching from the west in pairs of twos and fours. They appeared to fly around in unison, in a geometric formation of sorts. During the twenty minutes I watched as though an entire linear formation cruised by the lake front and seemed to be flying somewhere between as low as 1,000 feet above the lake, to as high as 3,000 feet as they departed moving Northward out over the lake. I opened my window to see if I could hear an engine or any sound and there was absolute silence in the sky during the time the objects were visible. FYI, I'm a college graduate, the daughter of a retired Neurosurgeon and a 58-year-old mother of of two grown children. My observations are simply an objective report of my experience.
