Cincinnati, OH
There was 1 object. The object was bright red/orange. It was very far away but moving very fast. The object appeared to be falling. I do not think it could’ve been a balloon or a flaming object of some sort that the average person could’ve put in the sky to make it appear to be a UFO. The object was falling far too quickly but took too long to fall for that to be the case. My positioning was about a half mile southwest of the middle of the city. I was personally facing just east of south. About 5 o’clock (if 6 o’clock is south and I’m at the center of the clock). I stared at the object for a few minutes from my deck after someone pointed it out. I then pulled out my phone and took a video. The object appeared to me to be on fire as it seemed to flicker. It was potentially falling at a fast rate very far out. I have seen meteor showers, Venus, and once I believe a falling satellite. I do not think what I saw was any of these three things. I searched online to see if anyone else saw this and I made a post about it to my local subreddit. No one had any input or news on what it could’ve been.

Marietta, OH
I noticed a rather brilliant point of light about thirty degrees above the horizon in the northern sky, brighter than Venus, or any star I normally see. Upon a second look, I see a solid red light moving in a horizontal line from west to east. As I tried to determine what it was, the light began to flicker slightly, then flicker more as I realized it was passing behind a bank of Cirrocumulus clouds until it disappeared, obstructed by the clouds. It became apparent the size of the red light was rather large at the altitude above the cloud bank, further eliminating the airplane, or drone possibility. It was seemingly more likely to be an asteroid above the atmosphere, reflecting the morning sunrise not yet illuminating the sky.

Out of the west clear sky a circular object high in the sky with a strong solid bright white light traveling extremely slow was heading eastward. Got my binoculars and saw only a powerful orb of solid white light. As an airplane on the northside approached and with me still viewing the object with binoculars this orb went completely dark and dissapeared.

Kettering, OH
Friend and I were coming home from a park where we were taking moon pics. Sky was not dark but mostly twilight. Moon was bright but no Stars visible yet. We kept looking at the moon as we walked and after a minute we saw what looked like a meteor next to the moon. It streaked down for a few seconds just like a meteor but then stopped. The object was still visible as a point of light getting dimmer and brighter as it appeared to hover although I couldn’t say how high it was. I just figured it was very high. Object then slowly meandered about for about ten seconds on a generally north course. Object then came stationary for a second then completely winked out.

Amelia (suburb of Cincinnati), OH
UFO – Cincinnati ,Ohio Bright red very large orb heading from the west to the east travelling at a high rate of speed came to a dead stop. The orb then turned color from a bright red to a very bright white. It then released a small green orb out of the bottom. The green orb started a slow eastern trajectory then gained speed out of sight. The very bright white ‘mother’ orb still stationary turned back to bright red and traced its original path back west. A few minuets later the bright red orb came back and stopped again and again it turned bright white and another bright green small orb was released from the bottom. The green orb took the same path to the east as the first one and in the same manner. The ‘mother’ again turned back to bright red and took a western trajectory at a high rate of speed and continued out of sight. I stayed outside for about 15 minuets watching the sky but it did not return.

Kirtland, OH
A flat black oval shaped object floating west to east. The sky was perfectly clear and light blue just before sunset. It was floating at about level of low flying plane. Looked like it was not a mechanical object or mechanically powered it just floated like a balloon. The only other explanation could be it was some sort of balloon. But it floated directly west to east and there was little to no wind to move it. The shape was similar to the Gimbal sighting and it was approximately 10 feet wide and wobbled once very slightly. It took about a minute to pass directly overhead from west to east. Did not have lights or make any sound, possibly drone but didn’t have mechanical motion like a drone, just floated.

Huron, OH
Looked out the window overlooking Huron River and saw a single orange glowing object flying from SW to NW basically following the river I observed it as it disappeared behind the trees. I walked out on the deck overlooking the river and could not see it anymore. Then I caught movement from upriver and saw another glowing object it seem to be on the same track as the first. I called my wife and she joined me in looking at the craft. This too was glowing an orange color and looked to be a couple of thousand feet in altitude. It made no sound, no wake, and was moving no faster than a light plane. I cannot say how big the craft was I had no reference to compare. Maybe some like an MD88 although it was more of a globular shape. Seen many aircraft in life but nothing like these UFOs.

Elyria, OH
My wife and I were stargazing, looking north to the Big Dipper. At first we saw several white orbs we thought were Starlink (which we have seen before). But, to our surprise a beam of light, a rod, which was a pinkish rose color appeared. From this rod came 2 sets of 3 ships followed by a large triangle. The triangle blended in the sky, but it was darker in color. Each tip had a blue or white light on it. There was no sound. We knew we were looking at something so large because it blocked out the stars, especially the "handle" on the Big Dipper. The smaller crafts were in groups of 3-4 surrounding the large triangle. The color of lights or orbs were white, dark red, and amber. The crafts appeared to be escorting the triangle. At the back of the triangle, there were 2 different crafts. One was a rod with green light in the front and red light in the back. The other craft was a large orb. The colors were orange and amber. This orb rolled like a ball. The crafts came out of the southwest and turned towards the northeast. There was no vapor trail or sound. All of the crafts kept up at the same speed.

I was outside and I looked up and saw a shiny metal circular object flying in the sky. I did not know what it was. It did not look like a plane or helicopter.

weird time-anomaly. (missing/skipping time?) i walked into the house, after a short walk... my dad and his gf are up here visiting from florida, they were talking....i hung up my jacket (cool evening from a walk) time said "9:12" pm... then, just as i was in the process of hanging up the jacket, it jumped thru, within 3 seconds, 9:13, 14, 15, to 9:17.....i watched it jump ahead each minute, very rapidly. everything was still otherwise the same, even same 60 hz hum of electrical appliances working, so, it rules out electrical frequency-boosting... checked other clocks...they **all** jumped ahead **including** the wind-up one hanging on the wall, that is mechanical, gravity and a pendulum operate it. moreover, it was also heard, ticking normally, during this, as it was right behind me when i was hanging up the jacket onto the hook. was this just local to this house? or, was it also experienced (but not mentioned, that i know of) elsewhere? i mentioned it, and asked my dad what it could be. they did not notice it as it happened. but, he said the 'atomic clock' could have been reset. (would that affect a clock radio and clock on an electric stove? not sure. i seriously doubt it would have affected a wind-up clock.) very strange. and, i never, and haven't ever, done drugs, i don't even smoke or drink...surely was not mental. had i a camera operating at the time, it would have shown up on the footage. odd, indeed. local to this house? or, others experienced, but unreported/unnoticed? moreover, we do have supernatural activity present. tall gray ets (interdimensional) and a lot of spirit-type activity (attacks) present. these get seen, felt, and heard, they do something to my hands and feet, feels like a nine-volt battery on the tongue, in that spot where they touch. they also latch onto the body, and insert things into my head, into etheric aspect. (i am clairvoyant, psychic, clairaudient) i have actually filmed them poking at me, the camera did not see them, but looks like an invisible hand or finger poking into my flesh, it was my lower leg at the time. no muscle-spasms, it was in the soft tissue, not the muscle. some of the entities make clicking and chirping noises, and they have molested me and my father, but left his girlfriend alone. they (or spirits, unsure which are doing this) make me get headaches, and latch onto my privates and throat....the spirits speak english...some are good, some pretend, others are outright bad. in particular, a male and a female most prominent....and these often command the (probably) biological entities. these spririts were seen, also, but only by me...human looking. i can recognise about 6 of them. one woman is blonde, short hair shoulder-lenght, white, looks older, 40s-60s. other woman dark brown curly hair, white, looks 30-ish. one man, blonde, crew-cut, tall, slim, looks 30-ish...other man, black curly hair, white, looks about 40, beard. other male reddish hair, beard, looks 40s, and there is a bald man that looks like he is african-american, looks 30. the good spirits, of which i can recognise about three, the ones i saw, look young, like adolescent. girls, very beautiful. deep mahogany brown complexion, one looks tahitian, long wavy/curly black hair, perfect features. other has long wavy blonde hair, same perfect features, blueish, maybe greenish eyes, brown complexion, a bit lighter. other has long brown hair, straight, also perfect features as the other two. there are others, that were heard, but unseen, that are also good. i don't think they have anything to do with the ets, but try to help me. i've had other psychics verify some of this. the ets however, are mostly like grays...but have a brownish/dark gray complexion, tall, very big forehead/top of head, bald, ugly, mean. my dad has seen these a few times, they can go thru the walls, like a shadow, but distinct form, sometimes wearing a cloak. there are a few other types, some have the black eyes, others have yellow, vertical pupil eyes. some are amphiboid, toad-like, others are reptoid, big and muscular...all of them are pure evil...seen in highlandtown, as well...they seem to follow to other locations... even in florida, the clicking 'grays' according to my father. i have also seen ships from time to time...some, round, spherical, others, black triangular. these and the aforementioned entities (both the spirit type and the probable biologial type) were not seen during this event that manipulated time, but i have had a severe headache much of the day, from attacks that began the prior night...and they were heard. i was attacked as typing this, something touched my hand, (palm near wrist, left hand, very unpleasant) but was unseen. i have to be in a relaxed state of mind to see them, for the clairvoyance to kick in, but the clairaudience can always be active, but right now, nothing is heard. both of us are completely sane...neither of us do drugs, or have psychological issues. neither of us even smoke or drink.

Was in the backyard with my daughter while she was jumping on the trampoline. We have hummingbirds, cardinals, and woodpeckers that frequent our trees. Looking up occasionally to catch a bird perching in the tree I however, seen something else. A silver ball seemingly going at a good speed across the sky. I grab my phone and thought I was taking a video. In my stupidity, I ended up taking a Live Photo of it.

Was walking through Oberlin black river/plum creek corridor and the clouds had just dissipated looked up at stars and noticed a round golden/fire like ball moving slowly in a straight line followed by five more following the same distance apart and eventually disappearing, there were now contrails. 30 seconds after that I saw a comet entering and completely dissipating into atmosphere right above the highest canopy tree. I stumbled to grab my phone and video shortly realizing it was at home, this was surly a sight to see as I have never seen anything like it before.

Vermilion, OH
To whom it may concern, On Sunday, May 3rd, 2020 in Vermilion, OH, at approximately 10 PM, I witnessed an unidentified flying object for nearly nearly four to five hours. I first noticed it when I seen a bright glowing object in the sky with orange flares coming off either sides. As I would start walking closer towards it, it would come in closer dimming its light. I knocked on my neighbors door to get a witness, but my knock went unanswered. As I was in the vestibule to the neighbor and out of sight of the UFO, it went higher into the sky. When I returned to the sidewalk, the UFO would come back in on me. It followed my every movement. It was instantaneous movement. If I moved left, it immediately went left on queue with my movement. Same with all movements. When it went to the highest peak above the lake, it would blink orange looking like an inordinate star. Only when it faced directly north. When it was more on the northwestern side, it strobe between blue, yellow, and orange. I finally got my neighbor outside during this time and she also witnessed that when someone was around me that it would go into the distance. I had her stay close to the building in the vestibule, so I could prove to her that it would come back if I were alone. The amount of time that it took to come back so close from the distance it was at discounts a drone theory. When it came in, it would hove r at least 200-300 yards in the sky just above the development across the street. Earlier that day, my fiancée and I had done chalking on the sidewalk in huge letters that says, “STAY SAFE OHIO, WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER.” I finally finished around 8:30-9:00pm on the chalking. Within the hour is when I noticed what I’m explaining. I do have video. Other people in the neighborhood have also seen this within the last couple of weeks. A neighbor across the street a couple of weeks ago was so scared that she took her dog back inside immediately when they just started their walk because the dog got really freaked out. It was at the point that I went to get that neighbor to witness this as well that the UFO left. This was around 3:00am on Monday, May 4th, 2020. Like I said, I did get 2 videos. The shape is hard to describe. When it got close, it looked like a metallic, circular bottom with a cylinder top. When it was close, only one dim light that looked like a dim UV light would appear. In the distance is when the lights would strobe again. The main consistent color was orange.

Norwalk, OH
There were 3 in a triangle pattern. I usually don’t buy into this kind of stuff, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t completely baffled. It was too large for a plane. I have experience being around c17s and c130s… This thing made those look like a child's play toy. I couldn’t hear anything from it, which is bizzare for how low it appeared to be. I could hear planes from much further away. I've served in the military and for 8 years now I've been in law enforcement. I'd like to think I have my wits about me and I'm able to process things rationally, but I've never seen anything like this in my life. I was the only one awake in the house and by the time I noticed it, it began departing North towards Milan.

Noticed a cluster of orange lights from my bedroom window. I yelled for my teenage boys and wife. We ran outside and observed 6-10 orange lights due North just over our tree line. They seemed to float around and slowly North. Within about 20 secs they moved out of sight. A few minutes passed and then a sole orange orb appeared higher in the Eastern sky, it descended and moved towards the direction of the other previously viewed objects. It soon also moved down and North until it was out of sight.

I saw a giant hovering bright sphere in the sky. Had green light on the sides of it, and once in awhile a red flashing light. Also was beaming a light out of it. There was a round aura around it. I called family members and they were mystified, too! My niece thought she could see light spinning around it, but I didn’t see that.

A bright light was seen in the sky, brighter than stars around it. The light itself was lower in the sky than the stars, but higher than airplanes flying. It hovered in place, but would move around back and forth, up and down. My parents also saw it, they looked through binoculars at it, which they saw it take on a snake form and dart around in the sky; and then it would stop again and the snake form would go away back to just the light. The light would scan the sky, back and forth. There was also a hazy mist around the object, which wasn’t seen around the stars or planes flying. After about an hour, the light looked as if it turned around and flew away. It got dimmer and dimmer, until it wasn’t visible anymore.

Went outside to look at a plane flying over our area we had been tracking on a flight radar app, caught eye of 1st orb and considered the possibility of it being a simple satellite, then 16 more followed one after the other with about 3-5 seconds in between them coming into view. They did not appear on this radar app therefore it is not a typical flight. After flying through a small cloud they never re appeared again. No sound, no navigation lights.

This is the second time we have seen a light in the sky to the west of our house. Both times have been to the west but not in the same location. This orb was the brightest thing in the sky by far. I mean by a wide margin the brightest. At first you think it must be a helicopter with a search light (note. very small community with no police helicopters). Light is mostly stationary for the entire time (until you can't stand to look at it anymore) but it does seem to dance slightly. Object at times even seems to have a search light that moves around. Object is white light but seems to have a red and green corona at times. That's all I can say about it. In previous jobs I have worked dusk to dawn in remote locations where all there was to do was look at the stars and this object was nothing I've ever seen. No star has ever been that bright, no satellite or planet "twinkles" like that. I'm dumbfounded by it. (I have some cellphone video of object)

About 9:15 pm got up to the bathroom . Look out window saw a bright light. It was to close to be a helicopter. I know what a life flight helicopter sounds like. No police Helicopter and no spot light. No sound and was stationary in sky . One was Northeast the other was southeast higher in the sky. Got my phone and recited it. The light was a very white bright. It would flash off and on. The two look identical in shape and size. With my i- phone it looked round orb. But with the naked eye it appeared start like. I could see other Star like Orion’s Belt. And Plants twinkling. But they were not as bright as these . I watch for awhile. Then went back again and they were still there. Got up again around 23:00 and they were gone.
