The report, as filed
On September 15, 2018, at approximately 5:45 PM Eastern Standard Time from Painesville Township, Ohio, in Lake County, I was witness to a group of 6 UFO’s. The sky was clear blue and I first saw the UFO’s in the Southeast sky traveling Northwest at an estimated speed similar to airliners. There was a cluster of 4 UFO’s with 2 more UFO’s trailing. They were not in a symmetrical pattern, but they did stay in formation. At first glance I thought it was a group of balloons that somebody released, because even though the UFO’s were traveling in a straight path, they had the appearance of floating through the sky like balloons or bubbles. I say they were bubble-like because when I was looking at them, they were traveling in a straight-line trajectory, but they seemed to each individually be floating like bubbles with a small wobble. The UFO’s were round and white and did appear to have a reflective surface but there were no visible lights or changing of colors. I know! they were not balloons because they did not separate from each other and they moved too fast. I recorded the UFO’s with my G9 Samsung phone and was able to capture about 30 seconds of quality footage. The UFO’s are not blatantly obvious when watching the video, but if you take the time to pause the video and zoom, you can see them all no problem. There were no noises coming from the objects, and no trailing aircraft. I called two small local airports to see if they had any radar pings that matched my story, but the Mentor on the Lake airport said they didn’t have that type of equipment and the airport in Highland Heights said that it was handled through the large radars at the major area airports and that I’d have to contact them.

Well all I have to say is this isn’t an ordinary flying object encounter I believe this was an OBE with highly intelligent life form I’ve been experiencing my entire life it started when I was a child I had an OBE I use to observe myself sleeping being young I had no knowledge of what was going on at that time due to my parents education was less than high school so I couldn’t talk to them about what I was experiencing but with this platform I can now talk about my experiences, it only occurs at night when I’m sleeping and I know when this event is about to happen my brain receives some kind of signal that puts me in a different state of being just like with that organic oblong being I could see through the object as it approach me while sleep in my bed the strange thing is my wife is in the bed with and somehow it only isolated me for the contact as this oblong organic object approach me I didn’t fear it and I could touch it, it was soft and rubbery in touch and I could breathe in it as it consumed my entire body but could not see anything but I could communicated with it in English it gave me a name but could not remember ( I know this sound like it’s out of a movie ) but this is for real I don’t speak on it fear of being called crazy and I would like to say there is some sort of fascination for asshole probing its as if their putting something in me and even after the procedure I mean days later I can still feel something inside of my rectum just wanted to let you’ll there is more to this than UFO’s thanks for an outlet.

A straight line of lights which at first I thought might be some kind of meteor until I stared at it and my eyes acclimated to the darkness. I realized it was a formation of lights (.. . ... .. ... . .... like this). It was moving fairly fast but after a few minutes it faded and disappeared slowly as if going into the darkness. All of this was silently, no noise at all.

I was working my food delivery job and I just got finished dropping off my last delivery I was about to pull out but as I stopped I looked left to traffic, but something inside me almost wanted to look up and I looked exactly at what seemed to be a stationary object clearly visible with the suns rays reflecting off of it, it was approximately 15,000-20,000 high, I could tell because all of airliners would be higher than what I perceived this aircrafts height to be. Anyways one second elapses of me staring at the object and it was almost as if the object knew I saw it and it bolted off it bolted off opposite of Lake Erie it also left a trail because of how fast it traveled, the light from the aircraft was floating in the air I was at awe of how beautiful it looked then in an instant it was gone like it moved south west and had different things to do. This was my first official UFO sighting all my other sightings were coincidences and easily explainable phenmenon but it was a feeling as if I knew I saw something spectacular. The color of the craft was a reflective white looking object almost looked like a star but it wasent because it wasent a self sustaining light you could tell because when it flew away the light that it was reflecting dissipated as-well indicating it could’ve been using the lights from the city to charge up its vehicle real quick and then flew away when it had charge.
