Suffield, OH
A bright triangular shaped object, larger than an airplane, descending rapidly towards Suffield. It appeared like a white bright burst with green plasma light radiating off of it. When I got a closer look it was a triangular shape with a linear arm off of every point and it was outlined in green.

Toledo, OH
An orb circling above the trees. Light yellow, circular, and relatively small. I mistook it for a circling airplane at first. Couldn’t make out any details of the craft itself. Hazy/foggy looking.

Mt. Gildead, OH
Driving up 71 N from Columbus to Mansfield: Bright white light with beams of light from the sides and small green flashing lights to the side; hovering above the tree line off to the right side of the highway. The cars on 71 around me seemed to slow down to look but unsure if other drivers saw what I saw. After passed hovering object speed picked back up on highway. It was not the moon or cell phone tower. I could see both in my line of sight along with the object.

Blueash, OH
I saw ball of light with small tail that does the yellow orange colored ball of light as it fell towards the ground it continually zigged and zagged at unnatural speeds left and right as it was falling, and right as it reached top of tree line it vanished almost like a flare or firework burning out but the way it zigged and zagged told me it was not a flare or firework!

Harrison, OH
I simply thought it was a car at first. It started with a low humming sound. I live in apartments in Harrison, Oh. So didn't think much of it at first. It got louder apparently as the object approached. When I realized it was not a car. I immediately ran to the balcony. Lucky enough to just barely catch a glimpse of it. It was moving very fast. And was maybe only 3 to 600 ft. above me. There was NO WAY THIS WAS A HELICOPTER, AIRPLANE OR ANYTHING THAT WE SEE ALL THE TIME. I do not know what it was. All I know is it was something different. The humming vibration sound it had, did not last as long once it passed overhead. There were lights on it. It passed over so fast I only had a second if that too see it. I just wish I had gone out immediately when I first heard it!! I really just want to know if anyone else in Harrison, Oh. had heard or seen this Friday night 11/1/19 At 10:34 pm. It was heading from West to East. I have wanted to always see something fro! m somewhere else my entire life!! And I fear that may have been it, and For the most part I missed it. I know without a doubt there are other intelligent beings out there. I don't know why they don't just make contact. Or maybe they have and it's all just been covered up over and over.

Columbus, OH
While carpooling to work on the morning of Nov 1, 2019 on I-270 South, I noticed some bright and seemingly close lights to my right side (from passenger seat). I glanced at the lights and assumed it was an airliner as it was directly north of Columbus Int'l Airport, but took a second look because it seemed strange. I immediately noticed that the lights/object had not moved, only hovering in place and there were very bright white lights at 3 corners of the object with dimmer yellow/orange lights in the "center." The lights were flashing in a random order across the object. The object never changed position and was hovering quite low in the sky (I was able to directly observe it from the car without straining or moving). I was able to make out clearly the shape of the object against the clouds, which was a very large, black/dark grey triangle. It appeared to be roughly the size of an airliner, or possibly larger.

Cleveland, OH
Oct 28 2019 cleveland/lakewood ohio i saw a sky distant looking North towards lake Erie , white not of a glowing light (no actual shape),observed in perfect blue non cloud sky, no emission,sky sunny day not gloomy. 12 pm noon just happened to look into sky, saw something white, perhaps glowing, it at first was stationary in sky, distance unknown stationary began to move N.E. direction in sky at somewhat fast speed then lost altitude, It at first appeared to my left then this movement brought it before me but at a distance. i watched aprox 12 minutes, it moved to place it dropped/settled among tree branches of the distant tree , sort of like hiding from view it bobbed up/down among a branch exposing itself then hiding from my view a couple of times, THEN as a very fast observance perhaps that of a a full second two similar light of same intensity and similar sized objects moved quickly away from the main object as if two parallel dolphin in a arcing diving paths and disappeared from sight into the far from view tree branches then the object moved to the very end of the branch, being slightly observable and stayed for minutes where stationary by staring i could discern it a bit among the branch there was a plane moving through sky during the viewing ( the lake Erie being about a mile away) ,as it came harder to see i just gave up viewing it moved on eastward through the parking lot. i was in a grocery store parking lot end with virtually no traffic just parked cars of the viewing, i moved about 60 yard moving to the stores entrance door i looked up and saw it again stationary lurking at another tree at the very edge of the distant branch, then gazing a while i could not discern it by sight any more. That was the observance ( i made a report to mufon today) This is my lifetime 4th sky sighting 1 70's, 1 80's 1 90's

Thornville, OH
We sleep with our window open so I was laying in bed and saw a large star so I was starting at it for a while but then it started moving oddly. It started going in small circles that turned into larger circles. After a few seconds it started going back and forth proceeding flashing lights. Then it vanished.

Poland, OH
Two nights in a row-On the night Oct 23 2019 my husband and I saw a star like object move around in the sky in a small area of the sky. I also watched it the night of Oct 22. It's movements were like a slow moth, some movements a straight line but mostly erratic. It stayed in the same little area of sky. In observing this for some time, I realized there was a dimmer smaller star by it and I have concluded that this bigger brighter star was connected to the smaller star, making it look like it would be a long pencil like shape, I am calling the Bigger star the head and the smaller dimmer star the end. They move together and the head will move in different directions as the end stays in place. The head also looks like it extends it's neck to move around like an insect would feeding on something or building something due staying in the same sky area spot it had been in. They look like stars. I saw another single star move across the sky and disappear by the fi! rst entity. This was looking above my backyard to the South in NE Ohio. There were no blinking lights. Aircraft in the area flew past as if things were normal. In my opinion this ufo looked like it was alive by the movement of the head star. Two stars connected, one bigger and brighter and one smaller and dimmer in a pencil shape, no seen connectors but as it moved I could see the two stars move together as if they were one, a body, with a extending head(bigger brighter star) moving around like a slow moth or insect gathering food. I am going to watch again tonight and I will make further reports if necessary. Round white star like.Retirees

Columbus, OH
Sky was dark and several star clusters were clearly apparent with no clouds. I was looking westwards at a set of 5 stars when suddenly one started moving eastwards at a consistent speed. It looked like it was at a similar distance as all of the other stars in the early morning sky. No flashing lights at all, just a solid light that looked identical to a star. It moved slowly west to east, straight over my head. Note: There were two other planes in the sky towards the right of my vision that were very clearly airplanes, as they had the flashing red lights.

West Chester, OH
My wife and I were traveling south on I-75 near the Tylersville Road exit in West Chester, Ohio at 8:58 pm on Monday, October 21, 2019. Up ahead in the distance, and to the east of I-75, we saw a bright, round light. It was not flashing, and it was not moving. It was too big and too bright to be a star or planet, and since it wasn’t moving, we figured it wasn’t an airplane either. The nighttime sky had heavy clouds, but it was not raining. The light lasted about 90 seconds, and then it disappeared.

Looking north, two small, bright lights appeared and at first remained still. Then started to move parallel to each other. Then two more small, bright lights appeared, forming a line and all moving parallel to each other. Then just faded away and disappeared.

Westlake, OH
I was driving down I90 Westbound around the Rocky River/Westlake border. It was dark out and the highway lights were on. I saw a green streak of light moving very quickly west at a height of (best guess) a few thousand feet. The light moved very fast and was shaped long and skinny. The light was very bright and it was a green/dark teal color. I saw it for a few seconds before it disappeared into the dark sky. It moved was faster than an airplane and the shape was something I've never seen before.

Cincinnati, OH
Driving East on route 50 I seen what first appears as a reflection of sunlight off a passenger airplane but as it tilted it looked like a giant silver cigar with nothing on its sides, no windows, wings or markings. After a few moments the object just vanished. It didn’t not appear to be traveling, it only tilted. The sky was fully visible with no clouds or obstructions close to the craft. I’m only documenting this in case anyone else in the area seen it. I have never seen something just disappear which has troubled me.

I was taking out the trash when I saw lights coming from the south. First two yellow orange balls came into view and I ran in to get my wife. Two more came into view and one changed into a triangle shape and then sped up and disappeared. Two more went to the north east and the last one spilt off and went north west and then vanished. I have video and still pictures. When they passed close to the house the lights in the house dimmed. No sound whatsoever was heard.

Outside, I thought a house security light went off in my peripheral, and as I turned to look, I found that the light came from overhead. In the sky, there was an incredibly bright, white, spherical light, and as I got a good look at it, I reasoned out that it was not a helicopter (Believe me, I wanted to think it was simply a helicopter with its lights on.) Just as I spoke up to get my father to look, the light minimized until it was a pinprick in the sky, and moved away so quickly that I could not follow it.

Dayton, OH
I went out on our back patio at approx 10:00 pm on 10/9/19 to smoke. As I was sitting there, I noticed a bright light in the NE sky. I started watching it because of how bright it was and because the lights weren't horizontal in the sky but vertical. Over the course of the next 45 minutes, I watched this object which never deviated more than a couple of degrees from its position. It seemed to be a cylindrical object with lights that made it look like it was glittering. The lights would change from red to green to blue and, whenever I would see an obvious airplane in the sky near it, the lights would change to a bright white. Once the aircraft was beyond a certain range, it would go back to the r/g/b rotation. After approx 30 minutes, the shape of the craft changed to a tiny pinpoint of light which made me think that it had suddenly taken off but, to my surprise, after about 20 seconds it reappeared the same as it had been before. This happened several times over the next 10 minutes. I finally had to go inside so don't know how long this object was in the sky. Did not take any photos as all I had was my cell phone and I knew with it being night and the distance to the object, it would pretty much be useless to try to capture what I was seeing.

White, star-like light that we assumed at first to be maybe an aircraft going really fast, but then it made a sudden sharp upward turn and then completely disappeared without a trace. No sound. I have never witnessed anything like that in my entire life.
