Powell, OH
I was standing in my driveway just north of Powell Ohio around 7:30 pm Saturday, March 7, 2020 looking west at what I think was Venus, As I watched, a faint point of light appeared just below Venus and moved northeast. At first I assumed it was a high flying jet, but saw no evidence of contrails or navigation lights. As I watched the first one, a second appeared in the same place, and followed the first. This sequence continued until there were at least 7 objects, evenly spaced, moving in a line t o the northeast. After 7, my curiosity got the best of me and I came inside to Google the phenomenon, I would have assumed satellites if not for the fact that they seemed to be in formation and in such numbers. Each object took approximately 30 seconds to cross my plane of view. I will be watching the news for info.

At 7:30pm I was in my back yard and looked up at the stars as I often do. I noticed what I thought was the ISS. So I checked my ISS tracker app. The ISS was over Asia at that time. So I looked up again and saw two more. They were traveling from west to northeast across the night sky. There was a total of 3. They were white in my binoculars. They were moving at a constant speed and all three were equidistant from one another. They did not blink or pulse and had no green or red lights. Why would three satellites travel in formation? This is odd to me.

Columbus, OH
40-50 solid lights going from West to east at equal intervals for about 10 min from when I noticed them. Then they disappeared. They were not easy to spot, they seemed really far no sound.

Fremont, OH
Observed 10 white lights in a single file formation flying from south west to north east. Lights appeared to be very high and about 8 to 10 degrees apart They appeared south west from Fremont Ohio and were travelling north east towards Cleveland or Toronto..From my viewing site, they all appeared to fly right past Venus. Possibly fighter jets - commercial aircraft wouldn't be that close.

Huber Heights, OH
7 March 2020 Huber Heights, Ohio (Dayton, Ohio Suburb) At approximately 1930 hrs. this evening, I took my dog out to use the restroom. It was just past dusk. As I was standing and waiting for my dog to relieve herself, I had looked up to the sky to glance at the almost full moon. Still waiting for my dog and having turned the opposite direction, I looked up to see the bright star (planet Venus) and noticed what I thought was going to be a shooting star. The “shooting star” did not shoot, however was moving very fast. I then noticed the immediately behind it was another “shooting star”, and then another. They were moving very rapidly, were equally spaced apart. I got my wife from inside and had her come outside quickly. She likewise witnessed the objects, to which we now counted eleven or twelve before they vanished out of sight. Again, each spaced equally apart, moving very rapidly. These objects were too high to be normal aircraft. There were no flashing lights like would be observed on commercial aircraft. Being outside of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, you would surmise that it might be military aircraft on the move in or out of the base, but again, these objects were too high. There was no noise to be heard from the objects, just very faint light. The objects were moving from the southwest to the northeast

Port Charlotte, OH
My husband and I were passengers in a car returning home from late night flight. He points out strange light in sky to east of I-75 (inland FL). Observed glowing ball of light In night sky. This was clearly not as distant as a star because we saw the ball expanding then condensing multiple times. The shape-shifting gave the ball a certain ‘aura’ or halo effect.

Bryan, OH
Around 8:30 on Thursday evening (3/5/20), I was outside on my patio looking at the western sky. There were a number of stars shining bright. Then I saw one of them moving in a northeasterly direction. I assumed it to be an orbiting satellite. No sound, just a small light like a star. No flashing lights or colors. Then a saw another one following right behind it. I thought it a bit odd that two satellites would be on the same path and following so closely together. After I saw 5 or 6 of these lights, I thought maybe the military was on some kind of maneuver, but if they were planes they would have had to have been way up there. I live between Indianapolis & Detroit. And that was the direction of their movement, heading towards Detroit. Then I saw another one & another one & another one. I watched this line of lights for about 10 minutes. I counted 32 in all. All moving on the same path, heading northeast. They were not moving fast, just about the speed of an orbiting satellite. I don’t think was a normal event.

17 bright round objects moving from the brightest seen planet in the Northwest sky in an easterly direction. Perfectly spaced in a line formation. At a certain point each object disappeared when they reached that exact point one by one just vanished. Perfectly clear sky. I have a master's degree in psychology and versed in many areas. I've never seen anything like this before and have been looking for year's though. Unbelievable

Jackson, OH
At about 8:10 PM Eastern we saw a series of 15 to 25 moving lights in the sky in a line moving from south west to north east (roughly seemingly in the direction of Portsmouth, Ohio towards Chillicothe / Cleveland, Ohio. These were solid lights that were fading into view and then faded out of view at a certain point in the sky (no real clouds in the area) so it appeared as though they were flying from a lower to higher plane / angle as if going into the stratosphere or space. Due to the number of the objects, the shock of the experience and way they were fading out we were unable to count the exact number and there could have been many more. 6 people saw this event. The objects were initially mistaken as stars due to the seeming height and faintness of their lighting. It is possible that at this time the western setting sun could have been reflecting from their bodies and causing this lighting of the many objects. There were 3-5 other flying planes or jets with flashing lights that appeared to be monitoring the situation / flying around the area. There was a sonic boom approximately 30-60 minutes before we saw this. There has been a sonic boom every evening / night this week (sometimes later than this), which is peculiar for this area. The Wright Patterson Air Force Base resides approximately 70 miles northwest of this region, however these objects did not appear to be coming from or going to this location. These have been particularly powerful booms that nearly are able to knock things off the walls.

Massillon, OH
My wife and I watched what looked like flying stars coming out of the west sky heading north east. They would then fly straight up and disappear from sight. They were moving very fast. When we thought it was over, 5 of them formed a cluster and blended in with the rest of the stars. A completely clear night sky.

Brunswick, OH
It started with only 3 circles in a straight line following after one another and then they would start to dissapear starting with the one leading the line. They would then reappear almost like a looping formation only this time there was four circles and then when they dissapeared again and reappeared there was 5 and then there was 6. They did one final loop and then dissaperaed all together. There was no flashing lights they were just white circles moving very fast in a straight line upwards into the sky and then would dissapear and then reappear in the exact spot they first started in.

Cincinnati, OH
On March 5, 2020 while outside with my dog in the backyard, I observed numerous ufo’s going across the sky. They were regularly spaced at intervals. These things were traveling across the sky from the south west to north east. They looked like satellites as they were so high. A plane was moving from the northwest to south east at the same time. I was expecting them to stop but they kept appearing. I estimate that they numbered between 30-40. Perhaps a secret military event?

I saw a line of stars or round objects moving southeast. They were grouped as two stars or one but spaced unevenly. They were moving in a straight line. There were around 20 of them, I'm not sure of the correct amount. They lasted are about ten minutes. Some of them seem to have flashing light

Akron, OH
Something turned on our motion detected security camera. At first there is a loud voice that says something that sounds to my husband like, “brime me.” To me, however, it sounds like “prove it.” The recording continued for five minutes. There were no additional sounds that could be made out, however there were two orbs that were seen moving quickly across the camera. They were triangular in shape. At one point, two started to fall near my car, merged into one, and then just disappeared. Also during this time, areas of the video became shadowed and pixelated and appeared to take somewhat of a human form. It looked like what I can only describe as some type of dark matter. We have a chain link fence. We had a tarp hanging on one piece of the fence. The shadow moves behind the tarp and appears to press against it with its hands and face to try and make itself more visible to the camera.
