I have a Sionyx night vision camera on tripod pointed straight up and seen this craft high enough to be illuminated from the Sun traveling from north to south. Possibly in the same altitude zone as satellites.

In different photos it shows an object I'm not sure if it's the same object And it's moving or if it's several objects...we do not have lighting out there to produce this kind of light or object

Noticed a rectangle over the lake. Took a picture to zoom in and see what it was. The picture became blurred with a light. Took another picture and it appeared to have a shadow under it and appeared to be elevated over the water. As we were looking at the pictures and trying to figure out what it was, we looked up and it was gone. Took another picture and it appears there is a disturbance in the water and a fresh break in the clouds.

I just came outside around 9:40 pm. (“Disclaimer: this is all from my point of view “) I sat in my car, rolled down my window (driver side), when I seen an object hovering in the sky. I got out and walked towards front porch. It looked to be (from my angle) an oval shape and/or cigar shape. It had pulsating lights, it seemed to be changing (multiple) colors. It was glowing pretty bright. If I took a guess on the size; I’d say about 30’ or so, maybe larger if I could figure out the distance from my location (point-of-view). It moved from one area of the sky to another(by the way the sky was pretty clear: visually). Each time it moved it hovered for a minute or two. Repeated about 3 times, before it was gone. Eventually, losing sight. You may do with this information as you please, but I assure you that what I seen was something that was abnormal flying around here in our sky’s. We have a I believe it’s a National Guard Air Base on the North-Eastern side of town (which my eldest brother was a member of until his death). We also have a hospital life flight as well, located on the west side of town (in the city limits). I assure you that it wasn’t any kind of air plane/ helicopter/Venus/etc, etc. I hope you find something of value in this report. If you have any follow up questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time!

Wooster, OH
I’m a college student, and my roommate and I like to stargaze in the country. Neither of us believe in aliens and were only looking for shooting stars. We both noticed one “star” that was moving, and assumed it was a plane or satellite. This object started to move in shapes, some of which seemed like letters to us - we saw a deliberate “M” shape, an “S” and etc. We watched it for an hour wondering if we were seeing things, and looking at other stars to make sure it was actually moving in relation to them (which it was). We then noticed two fainter starlike objects very close to the main one, seemingly higher in the sky, making a perfect isosceles triangle. All three would move in strange jerky ways, unlike a satellite or plane. None of them moved very far from the original spots, and after making shapes, would return to their original positions. We have no idea what could be doing this and decided to report. All objects looked high enough to be outside the atmosphere, and several planes flew under them. They were white and generally just looked like stars, but twinkled more frequently.

When I spotted the craft it was almost directly overhead. It was traveling north to south at the same speed as a satellite travels across the sky. It was in the shape of an isosceles triangle but with the nose rounded. The craft was white but not a mirror like reflection of satellites. As it moved south it passed into the earths shadow and disappeared. There was no sound nor would you expect any at that altitude.

Akron, OH
Ok....so I was getting out of an uber ride at the end of my driveway. I said thanks for the ride and started up my driveway going west, dead west... I then looked up at the giant maple in our backyard cause it's diseased and going to fall soon, at that point I noticed a weird shaped object, I thought mabey a cloud but it was very long and thin...it was long in an up and down way...like longitudinal....with a very defined shape....not like a cloud which have mostly soft edges..Its a beautiful night tonight , only a few clouds here and there. And because I live in Akron I then assumed that this bizarre shaped cloud was the goodyear blimp because at this time it had moved, it was moving. And then there was several lights in a row along the long part of the object. They didn't appear all of a sudden...they sorta faded into view. At this point I was sure it was the blimp....so I waited to hear the sound of the engines. There was no sound. The object was moving in a east by south east direction. I have no idea of altitude but. It appeared to be about as high as the (few) clouds there was in the sky. So at this point I'm like wtf...I pull out my phone (samsung galaxy note 20 ultra) which has a great low light camera to get a better look. I was able to get it in the screen and observe the object for about 6 seconds. OF COURSE I DIDNT GET A PIC OR VIDEO, but I did see that it definitely was cigar shaped and the lights that I had only seen about 8-10 of now appeared to be more like a lcd ticker display. I mean that it appeared to be a grid of lights...I think they were somewhat strobing....they were all white (about 5000k temp) . So at this point I was totally like 'whoa' there was still no sound then while I was watching it appeared to go behind a cloud...but there was no cloud. The object moved from about a 2 o'clock position to about a 12 o'clock position if I was facing south....lastly while I was observing whateber....I noticed a jet or plane that was much much higher....all I really seen was a blinking red light on that craft going the same direction pretty fast....I didn't hear any sound from that one either. I am a pretty good illustrator/ artist and I've sketched out what I seen, ill try to make an animation If I can. But thats about it....I do belive in angels and demons, that is, beings that exist in a different dimention or whatever. Just thought I'd throw that in. So yeah....CRAZY!!! Thanks

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.

Parma, OH
At first appearance I thought it might be an airplane pulling a lit banner (appeared to be that heigth) but no noise. Travelled from northwest to southeast and disappeared one light at a time in center of sky like it was entering a cloud but sky perfectly clear. Approaching helicopter from northeast may have triggered disappearance. Object was composed of 10-12 lights closely and evenly spaced. Did not appear to be skylink.

Madeira, OH
I was coming in the house I turned to shut the door when I seen an enormous bright white light. Just a long tube was the shape similar to a neon tube. It moved slowly across the sky and made no noise I watched it until it just shut off. It didn’t zoom away the light seemed to have just went out. It was very large I can’t believe no one else saw it. I know what I saw you don’t have to believe me. They are here and it was kind of a scary realization when you actually see the truth for what it is. They are here no one can tell me they don’t exist I now know they do and our government are terrible liars. They exist. They are letting us know it for a reason.

I was bringing my wife back from the hospital and parked in the hotel parking lot getting out of the car when we looked up and saw something that looked to be 2 football fields in length, and had 2 saucer shaped crafts in front of it moving over the buildings southwest from the Lake Erie. I know what a blimp looks like, it was no blimp, and not a plane. It was low enough to see what looked like portals on the side their had to have been over 200 portals. It moved over the hotel and buildings, we took photos of it, and what we got did not reflect what we were seeing with our eyes! We have never seen anything like it! Their was no sounds!

Avon, OH
4/14/2022, about 10:42 pm, Avon, Ohio, backyard: I looked out briefly to check sky conditions, intending to make some astronomical observations if it was clear enough, as I’m a highly experienced amateur astronomer. After identifying several familiar stars in the clear part of the sky (Castor, Pollux, Procyon, Regulus), I happened to look directly overhead, and noticed to my surprise a very bright, pure white “star” that shouldn’t be there. It was at least as bright as Venus but directly overhead. I watched it to determine whether there was any motion, in case it was a satellite or airplane landing light, but there was no motion. After a few seconds (perhaps between 5 and 10 seconds), the light turned yellow and faded out. As it was fading, a second similar light suddenly appeared about 4° to the southwest of the first one, remained on for a shorter time – also a few seconds – and then yellowed and faded out the same way. For a few more seconds, a tiny faint pinpoint of light was visible in each of the two locations, then they too faded out and nothing more was to be seen. I listened intently for a couple of minutes but there was absolutely no sound (and this was on a calm, quiet night) so the lights were not from helicopters or airplanes. In any case, the only way airplane landing lights could be seen from directly underneath would be if an airplane was in a vertical dive; and no navigation lights or other lights ever appeared. I got binoculars and probed the area but nothing further could be seen other than normal background stars; there were no clouds in that part of the sky at the time. I considered the possibility that the objects might have been meteors coming directly at me, but the description did not seem to fit: the lights were the wrong color for meteors (pure white before fading to yellow), there was no trail or apparent motion (as would be expected if meteors were coming almost toward me), they were much brighter than any normal meteor, and they remained visible (especially the first one) several times longer than a meteor takes to appear and then fade out.

Lebanon, OH
We were driving from Lebanon Kroger down Columbus Avenue headed toward our home at LA Luz Apartments. As we were passing the car wash, my daughter asked, "what is that?" It took a few seconds to zero in on what she was seeing. I relied to her that it looked like a gray flag but it was up way too high in the sky to be a flag. It was up near the clouds and hovered there before disappearing behind a cloud. It was seen in the sky near the water tower by Lebanon Commons Apartments (very near our home.)

I'm a contractor based in the tri-state who was doing some work in the area. I stayed in the truck while my coworker went inside to grab a few plumbing supplies. I was listening to music looking up into the sky, when almost directly in front of me, at plane altitude, a white, disk shaped object slowed down into view from my left, stopped for a second or two, and then accelerated at an unbelievable speed to my right. I looked around and even got out of the truck but it was already gone. I'm not really into UFOs but one of my friends suggested I submit a report on what I saw

My wife and I saw something really weird last night while driving home in this rural area around 9:00 pm. After turning from westbound Clark Shaw rd to southbound on Sectionline rd, north of Home rd., there appeared to be an airplane south in the distance, although "flighting" much lower than normal, in my opinion. As we continued driving south, we realized during our approach this machine was remaining in place hovering about a thousand feet above. We discovered it was not moving as we slowed down while driving under it. We slowed down to a crawl to view this machine that had a very bright white light (aviation) underneath the center mass surrounded by red and green lights, but it had no noise. Its' size appeared to be about a size greater than a small private plane or helicopter, but why no noise? As we continued south, it abruptly disappeared from view - no remaining lights. We continued to drive slowly as an oncoming car slowed down too. I was perplexed whether it was a drone, why no noise? This area is also known to have many utility high power lines dissecting the countryside - wouldn't this be a navigation issue for this machine too? Plus it was much bigger than drones I have seen in my professional career - previously observed drones displayed at an international security conference, for convention attendees to view. Also observed a militarized drone assembly production at an international manufacturing facility, while there on business - these produced machines consumed a physical size footprint of a 20' X 20' room, in my opinion.

Was standing at the first hole at the golf course and the sun was setting in the lighting was spectacular facing east. So I took two pictures, one regular and one zoomed 3x. When I was looking at the pictures there is something there in the second pictures and not the first. Pictures were taken just seconds apart. So I did not see anything with my own eye just in the picture.

I was looking up at my 2nd story windows in my living room and saw a few lights like white red and green. I check my security cameras and they show to be really far away but still moving and blinking inconsistently. I did I flight check and saw no aircrafts near the location. I see the blinking object in the cameras in the back of the house and then in the front. I first saw it at the back of my house then i could see it for a bit then I saw them at the front of my house. That has been going on for around 20 minutes. The footage of my security cameras is on my phone but has problems sending.

Kettering, OH
3 bright lights on the appeared on the horizon out of nowhere and at first I thought it was a large aircraft. Then I noticed a triangular shape and lights which were like lights but weren't. They almost glowed instead of projected but still lit up the sky. It was like 3 massive Chinese lanterns but if they were wite. The light in the middle was the dimmer of the 3 and the outside 2 were the brightest. It just slowly hovered it hardly climbed before it started moving. They way it moved was so smooth it didn't look like it was turning or anything. It was moving slow and it was a rotating. Two neighbours who were walking their dogs also saw it. The dogs stopped and took gaze to the craft then the neighbours stopped and just stared blankly at it. The craft kept on moving slowly. At this point my whole family had seen it and some of them just labeled because of its size. As it flew over my house there was no noise at all and for its size it was mental. I could see it in more detail and had this circular looking thing in the middle of the craft that was grooved in almost like a door. It had a red light on the bottom of it which was dim and one on top which was brighter but didn't stand out over the 3 main lights. It went off into the distance and the lights still stood out over the stars. Whilst reporting this it came back at 22:45. It came out of nowhere it just appeared but this time the lights were a lot dimmer and the red lights were flashing. It remained at a slow constant speed then the lights slowly dimmed out (with the red lights still flashing) and it started to do tiny zig zag movements. And disappeared
