Saturday evening my Wife, Daughter and I were outside checking out the neighbors Halloween decorations. The sun had completely set and there was a small amount of fog settling in. There were clouds just above the horizon. We saw a set of two lights in the West sky near the area of Kettering climbing at a slow rate from South to North. These lights were an equal distance apart and continued that way throughout the sighting. About 5 seconds later there were two more sets. This continued for approximately 3 minutes with a total of 10 lights all making the same movement. The lights were steady red (not flashing) and no sound could be heard.

Jackson, OH
On the evenings of 10-6 and 10-7-2017, we watched a light in sky, moving in counterclockwise motion, pattern never changed, always moving in circular motion, very fast, moving east. Almost looked like a spotlight moving in circular motion, but didn't appear to be coming from above or below. Neighbors witnessed same thing. Lasted from 7pm till around 9:30 pm both evenings. We live on a farm and this was right over one of our pastures which has no homes, buildings or light near it. We attempted to video it, but it would not show up on video.

Reddish orange blinking light traveling low in the south, east to west, stopped then started traveling back towards the east, stopped again for a few seconds then started traveling towards the west, stopped again, appeared to rise or perhaps head in my direction, stopped again then headed east, stopped due south from me then dropped down to the horizon and out of sight

Got back on my truck drove about 120 miles to Mansfield, OH. I switched the load, head back. I got on the same place on the opposite side on I70 WB. Saw truck and trailer caught on fire. I thought it was random but two days in a row. Same place, same mile marker. Two tractor and trailers caught on fire on separate days.

I was on the back porch having a cigarette and looking up at the clear night sky, when a silhouette of a triangle flew overhead. It was fairly low running north to south and silent. Its color seemed to match the background of the night sky, and there was an un-lit ring on the bottom of each corner

Bay Village, OH
As pulled out of my driveway and headed down the street, I noticed a glowing red light in the distance. I thought it was a drone. As we drove to the end of the Street the object had moved East and was hovering over a wooded area by the railroad tracks, about 15 yards away. We stopped and pulled over as there were now three lights that appeared on the triangle object. Red, green, and white. It would blink one light at a time changing color and then they would all turn red. Then only the center light would glow bright red. Out of nowhere we saw two more of these crafts. They made no sound at all and had little to no movement. We watched for about ten minutes. I am not sure how long these crafts were in the area, as we had to go, but it was something I cannot explain.

I am not exactly sure what I saw, but it was a grid of red lights (20-30) filling approximately 1/4 of the sky outside my window in what appeared to be a pattern. There was also a very strange symmetrical cloud formation that was slightly illuminated by the lights, and it appears the clouds had been precisely cut into a pattern of diamonds. As I watched, the lights faded away along with the noise. I have tried to come up with an explanation of what I saw, such as reflections, etc, but I cannot.

I looked out my window at 2:00am witnessing a bright light in the sky between an opening through the leaves of a large tree in my backyard. The light was larger than any star in the sky. It was larger than any visible planet. As I watched it, I noticed it was moving. With the help of the leaves, I could tell the pace of the movement more easily, because it disappeared behind the leaves. It moved faster than stars in the sky, but much slower than airplanes, satellites, etc. So, I grabbed my good camera and tripod and ran to my back porch. I found openings between leaves and branches by standing, kneeling and in between then adjusted my tripod, zoomed in 30x, and began snapping pictures. It seemed to first be moving upwards in the sky. So I would have to adjust my tripod higher up. Then it started on a slow path downward on what I believe was about a 150-160 degree angle. Eventually it seemed to stop and go straight downward, at a 90 degree angle, for the remainder of the sighting. I ended up having my tripod go from all the way down, to all the way up, then all the way down again. I almost felt like the object wanted to observe something on the ground, maybe the nearby airport, or maybe the NASA Glenn Research Center, within 5-7 miles south of the objects. It moved slowly enough for most to not think twice when seeing it, maybe thinking it is just a large bright star. Although it was definitely larger and closer than even the largest star that can ever be observed in the sky, from the ground that is. I have been studying UFOs and E.T.s for a year now, since my first sighting. So I definitely noticed that I was seeing something different here. I see things all of the time but this is by far one of the coolest sightings I have had. I focused on this object that usually remained red and blue in the pictures pulsating fast in a pattern of red, white, blue. What I found very strange, were these smaller copper/silver colored objects that appeared only in the photos near the main object. I did not see these objects myself at all, but they were obviously there. Then I noticed another object very similar to the main one I was already snapping photos of. This one however, seemed to be blinking fast between the main colors of orange/red, white and yellow rather than red, white and blue. The last photo attached is of the orange object. I observed these objects between 2-3am. I do not know of a man made or known space object that moves the speed and direction that it did and looks like the pictures I have attached. The whole time I felt that I was witnessing something really special.

I have already submitted a report for earlier this month pertaining to an earlier sighting - and I have just had another. Tonight (09 - 19 - 2017) at approximately 8:45 PM EST, I was out in my back yard having a cigarette, when I saw what seemed to me - to be a very slow flaring light or high altitude explosion - orange in color - that began as a pin point of light that suddenly appeared - and then over a period of 1 to 1.5 seconds grew dramatically in brilliance, faded quickly down to a pin point once again - and then moved farther towards the north as it continued to fade until it was no longer visible. the entire incident occurred at a high altitude (stratosphere?) well above the weather deck - maybe between 3000 to 8000 feet? The position of the initial incident was North East, I would say towards northern Warren County Ohio. The incident duration was about 2.5 seconds. I am not dismissing conventional explanations but it did NOT seem to be a meteor or space junk - as the object moved in a directed manner after flaring and fading - curving its course. Also - both the flare up and the object's motion seemed too slow for a meteorite. I am submitting sequenced graphics and an animated GIF file to NUFORC.

Monroe, OH
Between the hours of approximately 10:30 pm EST and 10:45 pm EST, I observed a tight procession/single file flight of what could have been anywhere from eight to twelve red lights flying in an unremarkable yet "eerie" manner from the NNE to a SW direction. I am not discounting the possibility that these could be aircraft perhaps heading towards either Florida or Texas for hurricane relief operations - but these "aircraft" had only a red light(s) as far as I could discern, and there were a lot of them following each other in a "one by one" procession. They flew over neighboring Middletown, Ohio, which is next door to Monroe - at a relatively low altitude. They did not originate from the proper direction of Wright Patterson AFB - but from farther North. There were no unusual flight behaviors that would differentiate them from typical aircraft - but I could not hear any noise that I could directly associate with them. The scene struck me as being very creepy. Neighborhood dogs were barking - but I was unsure if this was because of the objects - or because I was standing on my porch and they heard me making remarks such as, "Oh my God!" - and "You must be ((word deleted)) kidding me!".

Macedonia, OH
At 9:37 pm my husband and I were sitting in our backyard having a bonfire, when the first of five round, bright "things" flew overhead. It was low, bright orange, silent, and moving in a straight line at a high speed. Then as soon as it reached a certain distance, a second one followed. Same speed, color, and sound moving in the same direction. This continued 3 more times. All the same. We tried to video it, but it is hard to see. When we are able to slow the video down and zoom in, you can see the sphere changing colors.

I spotted 3 bright orange circular objects floating together hovering over a field. The object didn't have any sound, and were moving slowly in formation, in a gliding side to side motion.

I honestly have never seen anything like it before and was shocked, as it was a busy evening and there were many people out and about. We watched and observed for as long as we could, whilst driving, and when our view was blocked by trees for a few minutes, we could not longer see the UFO.

I know it seems difficult to believe, but I know what I saw and I have 20/15 vision perfectly health adult male, no substance use not even alcohol. What I saw was a completely silent translucent triangular craft with bright white orb of light in center, flying from north to south. It was broad daylight and it was flying quite low, i'd estimate about only several thousands feet above ground. It was truly amazing, I wish i knew what this was and what civilization this originates from or what type of military experimental craft this is! (( Date was flawed. We do not know the year of the alleged event. Witness elects to remain anonmyous; provides no contact information.

UFO Report August 19, 2017 7pm While listening to Coast to Coast podcast on August 19th for the August 17th broadcast, my attention was arrested when you mentioned the Turkey sighting on August 12. First, because my husband and I had traveled to Turkey in early 2016 for a tour of the early Christian churches. The second reason the report grabbed my attention was because I think I saw a very similar flickering light around the same timeframe - only I live north east of Cincinnati, Ohio. My husband was out of town the nights of August 9th and 10th. We usually stargaze together so I rarely go out without him but because the night was clear (not sure which of the two nights) I stepped out onto the deck for a few moments to look up. It was likely around 11pm as well… I knew I should have documented it because it was so odd, but not drastic enough to think it was report worthy. I was only going to take a quick look because being outside alone is a bit creepy but a bright flash similar to what the Turkish man described caught my eye. This single flash was strobe-like in intensity and hit my peripheral vision. My father, a naval photographer, taught me to look above a light in the night sky to see it better. When I did that I located a slow blinking light in the North-West sky similar to the Turkish man. As I watched the slow blinking object, I discerned it was not moving much… maybe a tiny bit to the left. It definitely was not moving as fast as other objects my husband and I have seen. Over the years multitudes of red blinking lights have been observed and sometimes are close enough to see a white or green light …we have assumed they are planes or drones… they are all silent. But this light, also silent, was different because of the strobe effect that happened one more time when I was about to turn away and go inside. Studying it again, I realized it was definitely not moving and so I began counting seconds between blinks. Sometimes it was three seconds, other times it was five and once I counted seven seconds. This was definitely an interesting phenomenon. I wondered if it was a planet, star or meteor that was so far away the atmosphere may have obscured its light intermittently. It was notable enough for me to tell my husband when he returned home. I wished he had witnessed it too because I was second-guessing the strobe effect that happened twice. But when I heard the report from Turkey, I knew it wasn’t my imagination. I suspect we saw the same thing… but probably on different nights. Thanks for your reports on Coast to Coast. It’s interesting to hear what other people are seeing. My husband and I are age 55, college graduates and entrepreneurs. We don’t believe in aliens from other planets. We believe there are government black op programs and entities from other dimensions. We have no desire to make contact with these entities, but recognize we have authority over them through faith in Jesus Christ. So no fear, worry or concerns… just reporting a curiosity in the night sky. Bless you!
