Brecksville, OH
Saw a "big white triangle" floating above me head in Brecksville. It had green lights on one side and red lights on the other side. It wasn't flying. It made no noise. It was simply floating above me head at about 12am. It was HUGE.. like two football fields and it was just above the trees .. maybe fifty feet higher than the trees (Cuyahoga County, Ohio, 13 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio) 4-13-16 eleven o’clock at night.

Dayton/Fairborn, OH
I am driving home from Columbus on 70-E headed towards 75-N and over the tree line to my right see a light reflect off the clouds. At first it looks like heat lightning, but instead of seeing a stark white bolt of lightning what proceeds from the clouds in a sharp blue/green light. It is radial up towards the sky. It is so specifically green and blue it takes my breath away. This is towards Fairborn/Huber Heights possibly the Wright Patterson Airforce Base? I try to send a text message to my friend and she receives EVERY text including my call but does NOT receive the text that is explicit in detail of the time and description of the light. REPEAT: I sent a descriptive text of the time/shape/color of the light and she did not receive it both times but received every other text! I have never even heard of this site. I just googled "blue green light in Dayton" to see if anyone had seen anything or reported on it in the news and this site came up. I am terrified to see a similar entry back in August of 2015 in the exact same area at the same time. Will I be visited tonight? Very scared. I'm even afraid to leave my contact info because i don't trust this site. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Elyria, OH
I was sitting near a woods. I looked northwest and saw 18 red and blue blinking lights hovering in front of us. There was about three of them and they vanished as I pulled out my camera app on my iPhone so I got no pictures. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Hoax?? PD

New Lexington, OH
I was taking out the garbage, when I saw it flying, really practically floating because it was going so slowly over my house and over the building across from my house, flying in the direction of Northwest. It was saucer-shaped, completely silent, blackish in color with 4 white lights blinking off and on pretty quickly, approximately 50 feet in diameter, flying lower than planes and helicopters generally fly. I know it flew over Main Street toward the Courthouse here in New Lexington, Ohio. The ship was dark in color, maybe black. I was not able to get a picture because I did not have my cellphone with me. The sighting only lasted about 2 minutes.

Cincinnati, OH
I quickly ran into the house to retrieve my binoculars, but by the time I returned - a minute or so later - nothing was there to be seen. I put away the binoculars and began my walk. A short distance down the street, I saw a single, bright point of light in the same area of the sky. This remained stationary until approximately 11:30 am, and I have not seen anything else as of the time of this report. I am mainly reporting this because I really hope to hear that someone else around the Cincinnati Tri-State witnessed the event. It is a s! unny day here, clear blue sky and I have never seen what appeared as a small constellation-like group of stars showing up in the daytime sky. Just before 11:30 a large airliner flew on a N-NW to S-SE path and would have appeared to have been between myself and the object I was seeing.

Franklin Furnace, OH
I walked outside to have a cigarette and a bright flash brought my attention to the sky. The flashes were sporadic around a certain area in the sky and faded slowly lasting about 10 minutes. There wasn't any sound and it seemed to be in the upper to outer atmosphere.

Columbus, OH
I just got off work and i started heading to the gym, i am about fifteen minutes away when i look up because i was checking to see if the street light was going to change when i see these 4 lights moving along the sky, so i look for other lights around them because maybe it was few helicopters or something, when i really started to look at these lights traveling together in this kind of square formation, i could tell they were not helicopters, i really wanted to get it on video so i pulled over and started filming i got maybe 3 second of the light of the bottom right end of the square, as they moved along the sky, each corner, right and left both seem to kind of move into one another and then it was just two lights moving and fading away,as they moved i look behind and 4 more are coming over the building to my right, they kind of just went in a straight line in the same direction as they previous 4 as they faded away 4 more from the same direction foll! owed suit. i called my friend to tell him what i was witness, when another person was walking through the parking lot, looking up, i asked if she was seeing this. To make sure i wasn't going crazy, she said yes and we stood and watched. One of the most amazing things i have ever seen.

Vermilion, OH
I just saw a photograph that I took in 2016. I did not notice the object in the sky until today, March 16, 2021. The photo was on my Facebook page from the memory section. There is a boat looking object in the sky. The memories come from Facebook and so the date is probably close to today.

Lordstown, OH
I took the dog out for a walk around 8:00 p.m. I stopped to check on my neighbor. He said that he was watching a UFO. I could see it as well. It was an extremely large light that appeared well above the skyline near the Mahoning County border. He said that he could see windows around the bottom of the craft. He pointed out a second craft that I could see as well. Both crafts looked to be the size of a football field. My neighbor and I agreed upon size. We discussed that we had both noticed these two craft hovering in our area for several weeks. My neighbor said that he had informed the police and a local business over who were also watching the craft. They left due to the frigid temperatures. That was a few days ago. This evening was warm, so we were able to watch it for a great length of time. The flight pastern would just float and hover. My neighbor said that it would nightly make a large circle around Carson Salt Springs Road. I tried to take several photos using my cell phone. However, my cell phone suddenly died as if the battery was dead. I tried to turn to it on, and I saw that the battery was in the red. I ran back to my place to plug the phone in and it came on as showing that the battery was nearly fully charged. I ran back and tried it again and it died. My neighbor said that the same thing happened to him. He went into his place to retrieve his camera. I called a family member to inform them of the sighting. I eventually went home. However, the two objects remained in the sky when I left. My neighbor left to get a police officer from a neighboring town.

Colerain Township, OH
I got up at 5:07 am to observe the five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter) that were to be visible in a 45 degree upward slanting line in the southern sky from June 20th to February 20th before daybreak. The cloud cover made it impossible to observe this phenomenon. HOWEVER, I observed a cylinder shaped object above the tree line about a mile south of my second story window that was stationery and glowing pulsating red lights on the lower right two-thirds and glowing pulsating white lights on the lower left third. The upper part of this craft was dark. I watched this object for two minutes, finally determining that this must be a cell tower that had not been there before. I went back to bed. At 6:11am, I got up to see if the cloud cover had dissipated but it was still present so the planetary alignment was still not visible. There were no pulsating red or white lights in the distance either. The cylindrical shaped object was gone. No cell tower was visible either. I'll have another look at daybreak. At 8:33am I looked out, the sun was breaking through and there was NO cell tower in that object's position or anywhere in the southern sky. You tell me what it was......

Newtown, OH
I was driving west on SR 32 tonight in Cincinnati, Ohio (east of the city) around 10:05 pm.. I saw from my front window a very bright whitish light streak that stopped for a second in front of the car. It then took off very rapidly and stopped again, then did the same thing a third time. It maintained the same altitude, in a straight line. I thought I should report. There had to be others that saw it and I'm hoping to talk with someone who did. This is my 4th encounter with UFO's since I was a young boy of 20. (I'm 62 now.) The others to follow were not as extreme as the first. I've had this overwhelming knowledge that they know who I am where I am and they let me know it once in awhile. I think about my first experience everyday. I've told few people my story because many people don't believe in them. BTW: I couldn't determine how far it was from my car so I really don't know it's actual size. Personal information about witness deleted. PD

Columbus, OH
I have no idea what I saw last night. there were 100's of white orbs very high in the sky. Above the clouds.. I am saying orbs because they weren't close enough to tell. They looked like stars but they were traveling from East to West at a high rate of speed. No real "pattern" except about every 5 or 10 minutes there would be a group of 3 at a slight angle to each other. I am saying it lasted 2 hours only because I am going by when I first spotted them to when I couldn't see them anymore. Because it got real cloudy after that. But they were not stars and they did not appear to be planes. Besides, I have never seen that many "planes" in the same area at the same time before. And there was absolutely No Sound. I just want to know what there were and if anyone else seen them.

Akron, OH
At approx. 21:30 eastern time, I was watching TV. The TV room in my house faces to the west. All of a sudden, I started seeing very bright multicolored lights, at first just one at a time, moving from west to northeast quickly. I mentioned to my wife if she had noticed this? Her comment was it may just be a reflection off our gutter from passing cars down the street. As the time passed, I kept seeing more and more of these bright, fast moving, multicolored orbs following the same flight path and quickly ran outside for a closer look. Once I got outside, I noticed a steady stream of the orbs, sometimes in groupings of four or five at a time, moving across the sky. Now our weather here in Akron, while cold, was perfect. Crystal clear skies last when I observed this amazing event. Another thing I noticed while i was on the phone with the police was a passing commercial airliner, which was moving in a northwesterly direction over me. I could see and hear the marker lights as well as the engine. I also clearly heard the passing traffic, I live a block away from a main street here in Akron. As the orbs passed, they were completely silent! and I noticed they were relatively low in the sky. As they traveled through the sky at times they seemed not to far from the top of near by buildings. The last orbs trailed off around 22:15

North Canton, OH
Awoke to single, orange, elliptical, silent & illuminated object hovering near Applegrove & Main Street. Very slowly descended out of sight as then blocked by trees. Pictures taken. We have looked at the numerous photos, forwarded by the witness, but we cannot determine where the alleged object is in them. We have written the source of the report, but have not heard back. PD

Uniontown, OH
Between Mogadore Ave., NW/west to Uniontown Square/approx over minigolf business .2 circular varying to square blinking light patterns of green ,yellow,red,blue,clear, orange,translucent at time like jellyfish background,low intensensity pin point lights like when round firework fading when shot off.Watched well over an hour.Possibly emitting low hum.Finally slowly left when plane heading to Akron/Canton airport within approximately quarter mile went past eastside of object. Third object was east of Mogadore Ave.N.W,and approximately less than quarter mile of cell phone tower on east side of Mogadore Ave N.W.This was the first one my mom seen and claims she has been seeing.I was angry, it was 1:30 am, got up and there it was,also had binoculars.Objects seem for better lack of word,semi cloaking.Hopefully others saw this,not happy seen this stuff.My guess manmade flying objects,also when went outside weather cleared up right away when all objects hovered about ! and clouded up when left,I got better things to do than try to process this info.Plus no ones going to believe us.
