Stone Creek, OH
We frequently travel this road in the dark between Cleveland and Zanesville, Ohio, and have never seen anything of the sorts ever. It was low to the ground maybe right above the tree line and was very very large. Larger than a semi-truck. It also looked as though it might have had landing feet of some type. No this was not a drone.

I later looked on google maps and found that the ufos were either hovering over a junk yard, or behind the junkyard which contains a field and a small pond

My neighbor was with me this evening and witnessed the third light I saw within the 10 mins I was outside looking at the night sky. I've never seen so many things going on in a short period of time like this. Just wondering what's going on if anything....and what's up with the flashes of light in the path of these moving lights?

I was out watching the moon as it was bigger and brighter than it had been since 1948. I notice a white object moving at a high rate of speed making turns and speeds no man made aircraft could make. I first tool a picture then started the video. It was white and circular and seemed to have a glow. Video shows it all.

Vienna, OH
Going to store. Looked up at the sky and a bright light like a super bright light came out of the west. It stopped at approx 10 to 11 o'clock high from our point of view. It moved to the left, right, and back west. The light came back east and stopped. At that point just looked like a bright star. If anyone saw it at that point they would have thought nothing of it. It was just a white light. No flashing lights or craft body seen. It was silent. We live 5 minutes from an airbase and have military craft practicing around us all the time.

Then all 6 just stopped over the city near the Marathon Airport for about one minute and again never breaking their formation. After a minute or so they began moving slowly in a southerly direction still in formation and disappeared. At first I thought they were helicopters but I have never seen any aircraft move in such a smooth manner with the ability to stop and move in perfect formation.

Columbus, OH
Was out photographing the moon, Venus, Mars, and Saturn. While focused on Venus, I saw 2 red lights or objects go past one above and 1 below Venus and about a degree apart. They were blinking in synchrony. Saw no body go over Venus, just the 2 lights, west to east. Took pictures with an iphone. Then ran to a camcorder & turned it on. I could still see the blinking red lights off and on. There seemed to be more of them- at least 3 maybe 4. They would make different patterns. There seemed to be white lights too. Filmed dancing lights, flashes, move around, sometimes synchronous, blink, changed configuration, soundless, nothing like airplane lights, etc. (Still Photos and Video). They were soundless. Know what drones, balloons, ad aircraft etc. looks like. Have photography on Youtube and facebook (but not as good as the originals, but can give URLs).

Junction City, OH
I was facing south looking down and a light shined above me enough to get my attention. As soon as I looked up almost 90 degrees I saw ano intensely bright white bluish orb travel from straight up to accross the horizon headed southwest. It was completely silent and I have never seen anything travel this fast ever. It was comparative to 2/3 the size of a full moon.

Kettering, OH
I went outside at 10:30 pm with my observing chair and 7x50s. It was cloudy in every direction. I swept around the sky three times. I saw two white lights south of my position through my 7x50s. These white lights were just sitting there. Suddenly, these lights began vibrating towards each other. They would move far apart and then come together. All very quickly. Back and forth. Back and forth. Very fast. I said to myself what the hell is this? This can't be. These lights were moving very fast. I put down my 7x50s. I looked up and down the street. All was normal. I looked directly at these vibrating lights. This cannot be. These lights were vibrating very fast. Then bang all stopped. These lights sat still next to each other. Then bang all of a sudden the left light started chasing the right light. This chase moved in closed elliptical orbits. These lights were moving so fast the light pattern that was created looked like a ball of string. This cannot be I said to myself. Finally both lights came to a stop. They sat right next to each other. Now the sky started to clear. This pair of lights started moving together towards my position slowly. They came to a stop just short of my position. The sky was now clear. I said this cannot be. The right side of the sky was filled with pairs of white light. There were about 14 pairs of lights. I said this cannot be. I looked up and down my street to see if I was seeing things. All appeared normal. Then on my left side and way! to the south I saw movement and then looked with my 7x50s. I saw what looked like a big structure moving towards me. It looked like a B-2 bomber but outlined with bright stars. There was a bright star at every apex except the nose. Instead there were two bright stars on either side of the nose. This structure moved with its left wing all the way down and its right wing all the way up. I saw right through this structure and thought I could see the background sky. This structure stopped abreast of the pair of lights on my right. This thing was big. It seemed like it was three times the size of a B-2 bomber. At this point I said to myself what the hell is going on? I then saw a light moving frm my right to my left. It was far off. I used my 7x50s. It was a small triangular craft. The craft was about 10 feet on its side and was self illuminated. Each apex was gently rounded. The craft appeared light brown to slightly yellow. There was a white lens or glass circle in the center of the craft. You could see this white window but it seemed to be lit from the outside. This craft made no noise and there were no marker lights. I do not know what lit up this craft. I watched this craft for several minutes. It disappeared off to my left. I returned to look at the light show. The sky was now completely normal. I have no idea what I saw especially the vibrating lights and one light chasing the other light. Many times over I said to myself I am not going to report this sighting. Then I saw the picture of the lights posted on the NUFORC site dated March 12, 2017, from Tacoma, Washington. My lights looked just like those lights except for pairing and vibrations and chasing. Incident lasted about 30 minutes.

Jeromesville, OH
One larger red flashing light hovering above a field, moving slowly west as several smaller white flashing orbs darted above and below the area over the field. Initially saw ring of lights around larger reddish light, got 4K camera, told driver to stop, but stopping was precarious. Was filming at this point. Got out of vehicle and filmed lights over field, and larger light moving slowly and passing by a utility tower further to the SW of the field, where the white flashes continued darting around. All were moving in an altitude from near the ground to 100-150 meters at maximum. Average height was just above the tallest tree heights. This video caught the white lights with a barn pole light as point of reference. It also caught the larger one as it moved from the right to left side of a lit up tower, that serves as a reference point. Stopped filming for safety as trucks were blasting past us.

Waverly/Chillicothe, OH
Four lights in a straight, evenly spaced line were flying high in the sky in a northerly path. They stopped, and the outside lights shot out at a 90 degree angle and disappeared, both actions simultaneously. A moment later, the remaining middle lights did likewise. A minute later, a helicopter or helicopters were flying around in the direction two of the lights headed, to the northeast.

I have Stargazer app and nothing was in the area. THEN this moved up and down, and East to West! Then seemed to be stationary out over lake in the North East sky about 45 degrees up and faded in and out.. No clouds… Disappears for a while, and it is back right now. I have three witnesses and left messages with channel five and 19 in Cleveland.

North Canton, OH
Long Description of Sighting Report thought I should share this with you, tonight on 10/15/16 I witnessed along with my wife, friend and and my son, I witnessed would be my 3rd UFO experience out here in Northeast Ohio at our home. We live kinda in the country so this as stated above isn't my first time experiencing such an event. To give you an idea, we leave close to the Akron Canton Airport, so I see plenty of aircraft take off and land here. I was facing SW when I noticed a bright light in the sky, to bright to be a star that early and oddly placed to be an aircraft landing or taking off. Before I started filming this UFO it was HOVERING for a good 20 minutes in the sky, no sounds nothing just hovering. I started filming and then noticed it slowly descending behind the tree line. I stopped filming after it sunk below the trees as the camera wouldn't pick it up but it stayed behind the tree line where I could see it through the trees for a good 15 minutes. It wasn't a plane or helicopter no flashing lights, no sound. I feel gifted to be able to see one let alone three out here within 4 years. Call me crazy I don't care but I know what I seen. Definitely wasn't the space station. I first seen at 7pm higher in the sky, began filming at 719pm lost sight behind the trees 3 min later, completely lost sight at about 730 ish. Space station wasn't visible in the NW till 830 ish. I have video upon request. I can say it wasn't a plane, meteor, or the space station. Only leaves two other explanations, UFO or a drone, ive never seen a drone give off such a bright light. This is my 3rd ufo experience out here in 4 years, each different. I have video of the event.

Centerburg, OH
While driving from Mount vernon ohio heading west on State Route 229 onto Dunham rd. into Mt. Liberty Ohio and all the way north on route 3/36 south to updike rd. west home my Girlfriend and seen 2 separate objects which seemed to be about 1/2 to 1 mile apart from one another, traveling the same speed heading east to west and very, very slow. I honestly cannot say how big they were nor how high they were flying as we never got that close. Both of the objects were triangular shaped and had 3 very large, kind of dim red lights on each tips of the triangle. as of about 11:20 PM they looked as tho they were right over route 3/36 just about 2 mile north of Centerburg. At the speed they were traveling I would have to guess they would be around the sparta area now 25 minutes later -- That is just a guess tho.

Polk, OH
Oct 8, 2016. I was locked out of my house and car waiting for police to arrive. I was standing in my yard in a very rural area, mostly Amish neighbors, no street lights, rarely see cars come down the road. It was very dark and I was looking to the west waiting to see headlights of the police car I was expecting, when I saw a very bright, large ball of yellow light outlined with a thin green light in the sky. It fell straight down rather slow, much slower than meteors I have seen before. It fell for a couple seconds then paused briefly. It then took a sharp right turn. traveling north in a straight line, then shot rapidly down and to the left in a slightly curved trajectory and then shot straight away moving west, directly away from me. The entire event took 4-6 seconds with the initial falling and pause lasting more than 80% of the duration of the sighting. The last half of the sighting was very fast.

Marietta, OH
On October 8th at 8:56 PM, my husband and I were coming off I-77 at Marietta, Ohio, when we noticed lanterns going up in the air. I took a picture of them and as we were going by the Best Western Motel on Pike Street we noticed that they were coming from behind the motel. We could see the fire flickering as they rose in the air. There were several already in the air and a few were just going over the street. As we continued on Pike Street I took more pictures and watched until I could no longer see them as we continued driving. Report submitted, following a news report in Marrieta, OH, about the incident. PD
