Carrollton, OH
I went outside on my patio in the basement to smoke a cigarette. I noticed a bright light in the sky way on the left of me. At that time, I assumed it was a plane or a star. As I was smoking my cigarette about minutes later, I noticed the light object was moving fast side to side and up and down. It was moving at a speed no plane or helicopter could handle. I then ran upstairs got my camera and my mother to come look the object. It was no plane or a star. It was definitely an unidentified flying object emitting bright light and moving at unnatural speeds. I captured about 5 minutes of film where the object was hovering at. The first 5 seconds is the best film of the video.

Marion, OH
2 big solid yellow lights and 1 blinking Red and yellow flying around a radio or cell phone tower on Route 23 at the rest stop near Owens road East bridge. 1 solid one flew over to the blinking one that was stationary. They both became stationary. Then a 3rd one appeared out of nowhere. It was solid until it reached the other 2, then flashed Red, yellow and white. No flash pattern. Then they all flew around at slow speed near a commercial airline following it, then left at high rate of speed. We thought one of them was going to crash into it. But didn't.

Stout, OH
At 8:25 p.m., I was standing at my living room window. I looked out towards the North West and seen a bright white light hovering the hill in front of our house, straight above a star. The light hovered for about 10 to 12 minutes and while hovering it brightened and dimmed several times. At first glance it seemed like it was a star, but it was about 10 times bigger than the stars surrounding. It kept moving slowly, but if you kept your eye on it you could see that it had moved. I grabbed my video camera at this point and started filming. Once I started filming the object was still in the approximate location of North West, it sat still for a while and then moved up and the back down slowly. After about 4 minutes of filming it disappeared over the hill. Behind the tree line on the crest of the hill you could see the bright white light still behind it, moving in the Northern direction. I took about 4 pictures of the object, I could see a green haze around the outer perimeter. About 10 minutes after the light had went behind the tree line, it came back up quickly, but was now bright yellow. I continued to film from my living room and then proceeded out on to the front porch. There was absolutely no noise of any kind. It started moving extremely fast, faster than a regular jet. Different flashes of red and white appeared all over the sky, they were about the size of stars. The object itself zigzagged back and forth towards the East and South East several times and extremely quick that it was very hard to see with your own eye, but it can be seen on the camera. It was very difficult to keep up with. It then proceeded in the East direction and over the hill behind our house and then disappeared.

Madison, OH
2/23/15, 8:30 pm. Madison/Perry/Painesville, OH. My son and I saw a very large triangular formation very low in the western sky. Three bright whitish lights seemed to change formation from a triangle to an L-shape and seemed to appear as one light at times. Difficult to estimate size, maybe as large as a football field; and maybe a mile away at first, then it would seem closer, then move farther away again. It was very erratic in shape, and distance. It was probably more than one object. We got in the car and followed it as it moved slowly northward toward Lake Erie. It made no sound, and we kept losing sight of it due to the tree line. We finally lost sight of it close to Painesville over Lake Erie near the Perry Nuclear Plant. The sky is clear tonight and the quarter moon was quite high above the formation. This thing was too large and low in the sky to be a plane or helicopter. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Gallipolis, OH
I saw two airplanes following and keeping up with a large white ball of light. A few seconds later the white light released two more smaller white lights. One of the smaller lights flew above and one flew below when they were "released." It looked like a triangle shaped formation with the original light slightly ahead. They all flew about the same speed. I heard the sound of the two planes. I watched until I couldn't see them anymore. I was at home standing with my door open when I saw this. What caught my eye in the first place were the two planes flying side by side, which does happen from time to time but usually during the day. And these planes did not sound like jets either, much more quiet. They all flew approx at an altitude of a Cessna. I was pointed West and the crafts were moving from South to North.

Dayton, OH
Witnessed two orange red spheres (solid emitting light) (both had no blinking lights) west on US-35. Were gliding in the air, emitting no sound. Both appeared out of the sky and traveled opposite of each other. Lasted for about 5 minutes. There was a commercial airplane coming from the Dayton International Airport that had to have witnessed one of the orange spheres. Both spheres faded into the dark.

Columbus (New Albany), OH
I saw a slow moving, pinkish (red/orange/pinkish) sphere track across the sky this evening. Totally silent. No usual lights from an aircraft (no blinking tail lights or wing lights).. just a pink, slowly moving pink sphere heading west to east, slightly low in the sky (35 degrees). The size and intensity of the light oscillated.. changing from larger sphere to a smaller sphere and then back again. It shifted from small to large about about 4-5 times. I watched it for about 60-90 seconds. It continued in the same direction and eventually faded to a glimmer and then gone. (Although it did *not* continue 'over the horizon' like a rocket..it continued in a straight line and faded out. My impression was that it was heading in a totally straight line, taking it "outward" through the atmosphere and not simply down-range.

North Canton, OH
At just after 4 PM on February 6th, 2015, I witnessed no less than 3, and possibly 4, bright craft high in the skies over North Canton in Northeast Ohio, very close to the Akron/Canton airport. These were very high in the sky and seemed to be close to freshly sprayed Chemtrails/Contrails. I believe that they were emitting some sort of light because every so often, they would turn dark for a few seconds and then turn very bright again. I am pretty certain that these were not conventional aircraft because they were gracefully and quickly turning, pausing and looping in and around each other. This doesn’t seem like what a typical aircraft would or should do, let alone near an busy airport.

Me and my friend were on our way back to her house and while on route 5 in Ravenna before west branch out of nowhere this blue white light flew up in the sky and disappeared. Almost shooting star like but way bigger. My friend has seen multiple shooting stars but nothing like this. I also haven't seen anything like this before either.

North Ridgeville, OH
I was driving from the gas station down Jaycox Road in North Ridgeville, Ohio, when I saw a circular shaped object in the sky. It went from West to East very fast then stopped and went back West. Once it returned back to its original spot when I first saw it, it started moving South, closer to my vehicle. It eventually got close enough for me to see the lights. It was a circular shaped object with a green light in the middle and 4 to 5 red circular lights that circled around the middle light. I tried to look for it when I got home but it was gone.

I have seen this triangle 3 times! It is Black. It makes a noise and its triangular with a red light in the middle with two blinking lights on each side. I called my mom and when it picked up i heard some type of foreign language that was very smooth but electronic. I am dead serious. I freaked out. Also the triangle came back then left.

Witnessed a triangular shape craft flying low. It went over our heads and we saw three lights in the middle of the craft and one on each wing end. It emitted no noise whatsoever. It ascended up high then turned and sped off in a completely different direction.

Sunbury, OH
I don’t think this was extraterrestrial but unlike any thing I’ve seen. I was driving into town from the southeast on SR 37 on my way through town. I noticed a very bright light, very low. As I was driving it first looked like it was still. I didn’t remember a cell tower in that area or any lights on the top of the courthouse so I took notice. It was low enough that I lost sight of it through the trees and buildings and flying slow enough, I thought it could be a helicopter. By the time I reached the top of the hill continuing into town, it was slowly flying directly along SR 37, which is the main street of town. I pulled over as soon as I could and stepped out of the car to get a better look. This thing had come right across the middle of the village on a straight course from as far as I cold see it and exited the same way. It flew directly over me. It was a hundred to maybe two hundred feet above the ground and very quiet. I expected it to be an airplane and be very loud but it was nearly, if not, silent. We sometimes see military helicopters from Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio, coming or going, usually in formation, but nothing like this. Again, I don’t think it was ET because it had the usual marking lights but the Delta shape, silence and, altitude was strange. We see Jets flying in low preparing to land at Port Columbus Intl Airport, never this low never this quiet and this was not heading that direction.

This leads me to believe it was just 1 craft as they were fairly close together.

I am adding to the report I made this morning. The viewing duration I could not see any "shape" persay. As they were exiting, they were much closer to me and went by me to my north. There is not a shape I feel is appropriate on your drop-down. To me, they appeared the shape of a hand-held CD player. Having more length and width mass than heighth. I can only liken color to some sort of metal as they seemed to blend in fairly well in the night sky, however, as they were so low as they passed the north side of my house, I did see them. & Antoher couple odd things- I only saw the red fixed lights on back (not all the way across) but nothing in front at that time. & I heard nothing! No engine, no whir or jet kind of noise at all. & To back up, Object 1 was the only one that seemed to have "aura" or cloudy sort of mass around it. Object 2 was sitting in a clear space. & When they exited, Object 1 had nothing around it either. They just left-slowly west & southwest. (although quicker than previous movements)

Iberia (outside of; rural), OH
Weather: bitter cold, already dark, very heavy cloud cover in parts and clear, starry others. While out saw what I initially thought was an aircraft just to the northeast of me. It was moving slowly- appearing to be one big country block off to the northeast of me. It was low, and that's what caught my attention, and moved very slowly. Thought it could not be a plane. Originally thought maybe a heli-copter & either an emergent situation or the sheriff's dept looking for something. ? It seemed to be staying right in that area (and did for at least two hours) sometimes higher above but often appearing not far above the wooded area. When it seemed lower, the dogs (many) one big country block over would bark like crazy. At one point it seemed to be closer or something and moving away from me- and I saw blue lights moving horizontally left to right and back again. But not like just lit. More like someone skilled at piano, playing one note quickly at a time one aft! er another. I was in and out, as it was so cold out. Intermittently, would get online searching for anyone that was also seeing something. I saw object one on and off for 2 hours. Near the end, I went back out and did not initially see it. When I turned toward straight east I saw a bright "star" seeming almost straight east, seeming higher up but pretty much positioned above the State route & moving slightly. So initially, thought it had moved quite a bit while I was in. Got my tablet and tried to take video and pic, but was just appearing as a star would. Was messing with my tablet when I spotted the original one over where I head watched. Then realizing, there were now two. Then the one I originally saw seemed to be shining a white light in the thick cloudlike atmosphere toward the other and then started moving to the west (quicker but still not fast)and the other moved over and started heading west (trailing slightly behind and more south) and they passed on my! north side- heading west. I no longer could see because of ho! w the ho use is, so ran in and looked out west side. Object 1 headed straight west toward Martel, Caledonia, etc. Object 2 seemed to head more southwest (more west than south but more at an angle) As they passed and after I no longer saw the white spot light type light or the blue lights I saw when it wasn't nearly as dark, but was as if I saw red lights (not moving or flashing) as they went. Did anyone else see anything???? I wondered drones or weather balloons, but whatever they were, they were more the size of small aircraft. They could not have been planes. & I doubt that two helicopters could hover so very long, or move that smoothly. I have NEVER believed in the "alien type" ufos- but I have no explanation. Seems like had to be drone type or large technology that I am just not aware of. It is very rural here. There are residents but very small population. A lot of wildlife. Deer, turkeys. etc. ??? Tried pics, too dark. Took a video with my tablet of object 2- when! I didn't realize it was not the first one, but it only appears like bright light, as a star would.

Harrison, OH
While running an errand this evening at the local grocery store, I noticed 2 dark orange balls of light in the night sky. Since we have an airport in our community, I suspected it was a helicopter or other air craft at first, that changed direction maybe suddenly (?) I suspected the two balls of light were the lights on either end of a plane, or either wing... or nose and tail? That was not the case. The two balls moved in a fashion that made me suspect the plane (or helicopter) must be spinning or about to crash... then, as the balls twisted around in mid air, the seem to be interacting with each other somehow. (Truly having a panicky moment then, as I realized it was not a plane, and it was NOT a crashing plane. The two balls then skittered off, far enough apart that I knew they were not one plane, and then sped up.. Seemingly propelled by something. The entire thing from start to finish only too a few minutes...but the time I stopped panicking enough to think I should get out my cell for a video, they were gone. I'm an educated rational, sane person.

I was laying in bed when I see out the corner of my window what looks like a blinking star, but then it starts to move, so I wake up my mom and even she can see it, it starts to move from side to side back and forth hiding behind clouds and we are still seeing it now it's just blinking and it's really bright not like any star I have ever seen, and we can see another one not to far away doing the same thing blinking it's like there in some sort of line and there just blinking moving back and forth side to side

Mt. Vernon, OH
Seen a bright white light with green and red lights around it. I thought it was an ambulance, got my binoculars, all the lights were separated and the bright light went away, and only saw red and green in the distance, moving fast down and out, one went to the left and one to the right. I then realized it was not a helicopter or ambulance. We assume a date in 2015, and have changed the date above. PD
