I woke up at 1:33 am and went out on my front porch to have a smoke. I looked out in front of me up in the sky. In the distance was a red orange glow it came toward me not fast but like it was floating toward me about 200 ft in the sky or more! It continued to come toward me. The glow took shape of a C. It stopped dead in the sky took a right 90 turn then continued a little bit and stopped again.the went right a little more then went back left the stopped and went back the way it come. I would of woke my partner but I thought it might disappear. It was truly breath taking! I only told couple people because I didn't want them to think I'm carzy!

It floated relatively stably, moved slowly but not laterally like a fixed wing aircraft, and entirely too quiet to be rotary. My phone has a really great camera that does image stabilization, so the video shows the movement of the light as well as the maple branch off to the left of the screen without relaying my shaking. I have also included a secondary video of the sky, taken later, to show the difference in the brightest object available (Mars), as well as other stars, to show how difficult it is for the video camera to normally pick up faint light.

My son and I were on porch at dusk and saw what looked like perhaps planes making trails in sky but realized they weren't moving to our naked eye except through the photos I took, being white light circles and only two of three made trails and close up in photos they looked like ufo type aircrafts, not planes.

Granville, OH
Was driving into work this morning. A bright light just appeared in the sky above me. It was about 100 feet in the air. It just appeared, seemed to hover for a second, then dove towards the earth , diving at a 45 degree angle. At first it appeared just as white light, as it was descending, I could see green light as well. It descended behind the tree line.

Was outside at the time of observance. Local hospital is nearby, local life flight helicopter was coming in low to ground at the hospital. Life flight circled back for a second pass for some reason, and when the helicopter passed slowly over us to double back to the landing pad, the lights suddenly appeared. At first, there was just one light and then the others sprang off of it one at a time until there was a total of five individual lights hovering. They were white, like stars. The lights then proceeded to hover independently in multiple directions as they spread out. They were so high in the atmosphere that they resembled the stars and they moved erratically and very fast. They would come together and move away from each other in lightning fast speeds with a pattern of hovering and moving in smaller circles. Another witness and I observed these UFO’s for a duration of five minutes. The helicopter finally landed at the hospital and the lights disappeared when it did. They disappeared just as fast as the appeared, as if out of thin air. The disappearance also happened in unison. They zipped away at the fastest speeds that no aircraft can achieve and was gone. Video evidence was also filmed at this event, if needed.

Avon, OH
Costco parking lot: I was waiting in the car when I noticed a couple parked behind me looking at a small streak in the sky through binoculars and discussing what it might be. I got out my binoculars which we keep in the car for wildlife viewing during camping. This object looked like a small bright streak but up close it looked like a point of white light with two thin, curving tails bending toward each other. A few minutes later it was under the horizon (this was around dusk) and a second appeared higher up. It looked exactly the same through the binoculars. It dipped below the horizon after a few more minutes and a third appeared, higher up and seemingly out of nowhere. This time when I used the binoculars I could see blue and red swirls toward the front of this object and again, the same curving white tails. It disappeared within a few minutes, not going below the horizon like the first two but just disappeared where it had been a moment before. I took ph! otos and the objects look cigar shaped, but there was more to them as I described.

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.

Colombus, OH
I was driving just past Columbus, Ohio. Looked up and saw bright green trail like a meteor but 200 times brighter. It was a clear moonlit night. After the trail went out there still looked like something did not burn up and was a blurry rectangle and then it was out of my angle of view from windshield.

I was standing outside at 7:20am and noticed a bright gleaming object high up into the sky, it was extremely bright and it was moving at a very very low rate of speed. It wasn't a star nor was it an aircraft. It made no sound and it had a light aura around it. I was transfixed on the object. It had a silver tone to it. It was unlike anything I have ever seen before. It was hovering around and slowly vanished after it docked with a set of cloud's.

Kingsville, OH
it looked like red ash from a fire floating in the air but there were no fires near here. At first, I thought they were a lot of planes or a prison escape but it was so close and there was no sound at all. They seemed to have had a motherboard, one of the aircraft looked like a large star that was moving fast but not slow enough to be a star.

I was taking out the trash when overhead I saw bright red lights. There were more than ten visible. They were part of an oval spacecraft moving very slowly to the east. I watched overhead for a while as they moved away from my house. A few times some of the lights blinked white but then turned red again. It turned twelve degrees at the last second and sped up.

We were coming back outside to stoke the fire and have a seat. I looked above us to the night sky to see a solitary bluish light about 2 miles about my head... sry I don't know wind/air travel measurements. "What is that?"I told my boyfriend to look and to our amazement it hovered above us and start to head NE, slow enough for me to run into the house and get 2 sets of binoculars so we could get a better look. Once zoomed in with a 10×50 I could barely see the craft that carried this blue light. Also, the aircraft made no sound. Not one! Above the light was pure shadow. I couldn't even make out the shape. For the rest of the night planes of all sizes went by because I live next an airport about 2 mi away; each one that went by i stated "thats not what it looked like." he smiled,"Come on. U already know." We do have a video of last night's event! I also have a video of the very first "ones" I saw a few years ago. To this day I have seen nothing like it!

Pickerington, OH
For the past two evenings I have observed an object due east of Pickerington, Ohio in the sky. With binoculars I can tell its very lit up, saucer in shape. This evening I observed a blinking object which seems to be observing. The blinking object approached from left, flew underneath saucer then to right. I saw an object very similar to this UFO back in 1974 off of Gender Road, south of Reynoldsburg. It seems to have red, green and white lights. The underneath is very lit up with white lights. I have no ability to take photo. Too far for phone to capture. Just within last ten minutes, it has raised up higher but again now it’s stationary, just hovering. No noise can be heard but I’m probably miles away from object. Round saucer shape with raised small dome like structure on top. It’s possibly over Baltimore or Buckeye Lake area. One more thing that might be important. We see helicopters on maneuvers from Rickenbacker Air Base quite often in sim! ilar location but nearer to us and closer to ground. They of course do not remain stationary and they fly from south to north/northwest and disappear from view within five to ten minutes. So far this evening, this object has been observed for over two hours. It’s presently 10 P.M.

Turned sideways and that's when I saw the shape C.It continued slowly floating to the right stopped turned forward again and just sat there a sec. Then moved to the right again and stopped turned around and went back through same motion to the point it first stopped. Then gently flew back north out of sight. There was no sound during the whole time. It lasted just about 60 seconds. I ask myself why did they come show me this???

Traveling east on Rt 36 I saw 3 silver teardrop shaped objects in the sky. Pulled into a parking lot to watch them. There were several other people watching them. After nearly 30 minutes they had moved very little, but then suddenly completely disappeared.

This was a small red cylinder. It flew maybe the height of a drone, but then went up into the atmosphere, there was no sound, but later about a minute we heard a roaring sound. It seemed low, but it could have been higher, my camera caught it under a star. It went West to East. I did take a video.

About 12 or so star looking objects moved across sky bright then turning black then back to bright. Still daylight out. Flying pretty fast. No sound .lower than some clouds. Flew out of sight before I could get my phone to video. No formation. Simply a uniformed cluster

We were driving headed west on 125 when we noticed a light in the sky in the distance. From the car it looked a bright star that was moving to left, then seemed to turn in a circular pattern towards the right. It then moved left again before completely disappearing like someone turned a light off. This lasted about 45 seconds. Two witnesses both in the car.

Hilliard, OH
At 5:55AM or 0555 let dogs out. Was looking up at stars when suddenly I saw only a rectangle of green lights, with some black markings or lines intertwined, appear for no more than 3 seconds before it disappeared. It was heading S to N, did not see any shape below or above the lights. It was moving at a constant, fast speed. No clouds at location of sighting, clear sky. As soon as I saw it, it pretty much disappeared. Almost seemed like something was camouflaged, and then they turned the lights on for a few seconds, while the outer ship was still camouflaged, then turned lights off. Was below the height of airplanes taking off or landing, and silent. Living where I do, the city airport isn't far off and planes take off and land all day, but you always hear them, and see a trail. This thing was flying at a perfect Right to left motion, not going up or down for at least the few seconds I saw it. The crafts light was solid luminescent green, was not flickering ! or blinking like airplanes do. From my viewpoint, the rectangle of lights was about an inch long if I held my fingers up to measure. Not sure what the actual size of it would be up close, likely several yards at least. Not sure what I saw, but it certainly wasn't an plane, helicopter, drone, or anything I can think of. Stayed out for 10 more minutes going in and out of house getting ready for jog, but didn't see it again. Didn't know where to report it, so hope others saw what I did!

I was standing on my back patio smoking a cigarette..I was having a hard time sleeping this particular night I had recently moved to this place which is out in the country a bit and me being used to the city I was not used to being able to see the stars in the sky so when I sit on my back patio I’m always looking at the sky and stars this particular night I was watching what I thought was a very bright and vivid star when it kinda started to flash a bit and in a spit second it lit up rainbow colored and just took off at a speed that seemed faster than anything imaginable and I could see it the first few seconds of it taking off and then it was so fast it was just gone it had a rainbow glow and when it took off and started to speed all I could see was a rainbow flash..trail for a couple seconds and then poof it was gone...and at no time did it make ANY noise at all
