Oval over Obetz, OH

The report, as filed

I also contacted you on a previous occasion on August 11th of 2018. At around 9:30pm my wife was watching our dogs out back in the yard when she observed a strange metallic half sphere shaped object approaching from the west. She quickly asked me what the **** is that. I looked and said I did not know. I then picked up my phone and took pictures of the craft. I tried to take a video, but as soon as I tried to change the settings it let off a spectacular flash of red light and sped off back to the west at what was an impossible speed. It was out of sight within a manner of at least a second. Thirdly, my first sighting in Obetz occurred around 3:00am in 2016. My son 18 at the time and I were setting out back with my telescope trying waiting for Saturn to come into view. While we were setting in the lawn chairs a large boomerang shaped object came slowly crossing in front of us. It was silent with a mother of pearl glowing color. It had a sphere rotating in and out of the structure at the rear of the object in the middle of the v portion of the boomerang. It had no windows and was upright each point of the tips one pointing toward the sky the other toward the ground. We both were dumbfounded and could not believe what we saw as it passed before our eyes. I estimated it about 400 yards away at about a 45-degree angle from where we sat and from top to bottom around 75ft front to back about 20ft. He asked me what it was I said I had no clue and I hoped it was one of ours. Immediately we both ran back in the house into the kitchen. I told him to draw what he saw and ! I would go into the living room and draw what I saw with no collaboration to our story. When he was done we both compared what we saw and it was exactly the same drawing.
