Miamisburg, OH
At first, I saw one white sphere object flying in the sky really fast, and then I got up to look even closer and out of nowhere there were suddenly three of them flying in the shape of a triangle. They kept multiplying and eventually there were ten of them and they disappeared. It didn't look like anything from this planet.

This site would not let me copy and paste the Word Document into this box, so here is my full sighting description: Report Time: 10:22PM Location: Vandalia, OH Sighting Time: 9:50PM Report: My boyfriend and I were driving East on State Route 40/National Rd., driving past the Dayton International Airport. I look to my right, and see TWO bright lights (one flying object). We think nothing of it at first. I follow it with my eyes and see it start to speed up. It begins to go so fast that I am now looking at it straight on as we proceed to go East on National. It begins to proceed to the left, but then it stops midair. The object then begins to start heading right. That is when we decide to follow it. The object then starts to go left again. We thought, maybe this was a helicopter, but then, logically thinking, a helicopter would not have been going that fast. As the object proceeds going left, it starts to go downward, then back up, then down again behind a building. And that was the last we saw it. Please do not take this as a joke, we truly believe we witnessed a UFO tonight.

Blanchester, OH
I was thinking they were stars possibly, but there wasn't any other stars in the sky. So I got my phone out to snap a picture. I had trouble getting focused while I was driving and while I was in the process of trying to get focused, the bottom light started to move rapidly away from triangle shape it was positioned in. Then after it moved pretty far across the sky, I vanished in the air.

Bouncing ball of orange light turned into two balls of orange dancing light. They would chase or play with each other, (one was smaller than the other) move vertically and horizontally, change sizes and shapes, then disappear without leaving the sky.

Mentor, OH
December 27, 2014 8:30PM Mentor, Ohio. Saw two red lights, followed by three lights, all flying in formation. From the south to north each light was a few hundred yards apart, all flying steadily at same speed. Called Mentor Police to report. The police said possibly these were aircraft marking lights, but all of these lights were much larger in size. Also, they made absolutely no sound.

While on break at work I noticed a light in the sky. At first glance I thought it might be a spotlight, but quickly noticed it was above the dense clouds, I then noticed that as it made a constant circle it was also rotating. I had two Co workers and a customer check it out with me, none of us could come up with what it could be.

Centerville, OH
Driving north on St. Rt. 725 and seen 2 very bright flashes of light, which seemed to be originating in the dirction of beavercreek. The best example I can give is to an electrical transformer blowing up (the way it lights the sky), but on a much bigger scale and was two around one to two second flashes.

Mentor Headlands, OH
My husband called me to the front door. I went and looked at what he wanted me to see. There was a triangular pulsating light in the sky that would move left to right. When it stood still, it dropped a flashing orb from it, it seemed from beneath. The triangular object slowly went from left to right, stood still and then vanished. It was far away but we could make out the shape along with the orb.

Was sitting in my car warming it up before leaving for work. I reached over into the passenger side for my purse when I noticed through the tree five Orange lights. One was alone and the others were in sets of two next to each other. My first thought was plane headlights but they were orange/red and traveling to close to each other. I got out of the car when I noticed them begin to move around each other almost dancing. One slowly went upwards and faded. I ran to the house to get my brother. He came outside in time to see the last two move upwards and fade away. I don't know how long they were tthere before I noticed them but the whole incident was less than five minutes.

Avon Lake, OH
I was driving home from a friend's house by the lake when I saw what I thought at the time was a low flying plane with green and red lights flying away from me. About 8 minutes later, as I turned away from the lake heading towards my house, I saw the same lights over a housing development. I then witnessed the lights stopping over a house and saw that they were in a triangular formation. One light was green on light was red and one light was clear. The triangular shape was about the same size of the house and low enough that I could make out the edges of the shape. I put my car in park by the house across the street from the house that the triangle was over intending to take a picture or video when it started moving away. I then proceeded to follow it around until it stopped over enough development closer to the lake. The same pattern of following the shape and stopping under or near it continued for approximately 20 minutes. It hovered over the high school softball field, various neighborhoods, and road intersections. Whenever it would move the green and red lights went out while the clear light remained blinking. I was able to take a short video of the clear blinking light moving. I was on the phone with my brother from half of the event and then I stopped following the triangular shape to pick him up to show him what I was describing to him. We went in the direction that I last saw it heading, but was unable to find it again after 20 minutes of searching.

I was walking out to jump in my Car to Smoke a Cigarette around 2 am. I seen a weird Almost Fireball looking thing in the sky. It looked like it was on fire or had a glowing aura around it from what I could see from the corner of my eye. I looked up at it to try and see what it was and it was so bright it honestly felt like I was trying to look into the sun. It was something I have never seen before and I am outside every night. I grabbed a pair of sun glasses out of my car as the same time as my phone rang. When I put the glasses on and tried to look up at it again it was gone. IT vanished straight up in the sky and seemed like it moved instantly. I Answered my Phone and it was a friend of mine who lives two streets over. He Was calling me because he seen it to and was freaked out. I have never believed Till now. But there is nothing to explain that I have looked everywhere trying to. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Multicolored lights were seen flash into the just south of the Dayton International Airport. The cluster of beams center of origination moved north toward the airport. The lights suddenly went dark after 10 seconds. All the street lights, stop lights, and all lights to the nearby warehouse to the west and car dealerships to the east also went dark at that same time. The light flutter back on after a few seconds. After returning home, 3 jets were seen flying very low heading east along route 40 toward the last area the lights were spotted.

Miamisburg, OH
My neighbor posted on Facebook that she saw something strange in the sky and mentioned that it kept changing shape and colors. I went outside with my camera to investigate. My neighbor was outside ,and offered me her binoculars, so that I could see what she was seeing. When I first looked at the object, it appeared to be a triangular shape with three bright points defining it. My husband joined the neighbor and I with his phone to take pictures as well. None of us had a camera capable of zooming to the magnification of the binoculars. We did however, get some strange looking photographs. The object appeared to change shapes and colors. All of us agreed that the colors green, red, and blue had appeared. The object slowly moved across the sky. When we tried to zoom in on the object with our cameras, the objected appeared to move around erratically. Possible "twinkling" star?? PD

Driving west on SR 47 I saw a single, silent flying object traveling east @ 25-35kts, 500-800 ft AGL directly against a 10kt headwind with steady red lights along the right side and white lights along the left. Darkness & zero illumination prevented identification of a shape. I don't this was an aircraft because it was silent and red position lights are on the left wing of an conventional aircraft not the right. It was not a balloon or kite because it made 25 kts into the wind so it had to be powered. Witness provides no contact information. PD

I looked up and through the trees saw a bright green light which is why I stared at it in the first place then it appeared to be moving in the sky then I saw smaller red and white flashing lights but then it turned and again saw only the bright green light. I could not make out the aircraft's shape but I felt fear and just ran to my car and drove away quickly as this was not the first time I've seen something in the sky and it scares me. About 15 years ago in Dayton, Ohio, I saw an actual UFO outside my window, hovering pretty low in the sky and when I tried to make my boyfriend look up to see it too it flew across the sky and disappeared, so I now fear seeing this and don't want whatever is flying these things if alien to know I've seen them!

Fairfield, OH
Saw a ‘V’ shaped lights move from one side of the sky to the other in under 6 seconds. We live in plane and helicopter fly zone so are used to seeing them. My wife spotted the ‘V’ shape moving from a section of the sky behind me to the north east. As I turned I spotted what appear to be a ‘V’ of lights either very low or very large. Didn’t think anything of it until I noticed it was moving faster than any plane, helicopter, or flock of birds that I have ever seen. Totally silent, moving north east to south west across the city. When I first saw it in the mid sky, within 4 seconds, it had flown over the city and into the clouds on the horizon. Something that would have taken any known source a minute or more to accomplish, this it did in just over a few seconds. The craft was larger than the ‘V’ of lights but we couldn’t make out the actual shape in the dark. Only noting the few stars shining over the city lights disappearing behind it as it passed. The ‘V’ reminded me of a flock of geese but no way could geese move that fast over that distance. They wouldn’t block out the stars as they passed either. Can’t explain it or identify it, so can only say it was an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My buddy and I went outside last night to smoke a cig as soon as we Iooked up in the sky we saw a formation of lights moving south, southwest. Then for the next 20-30 minutes my buddy and I watched about 23 different waves of lights ranging from 7-15 lights per group. They were reddish orange in color. They kinda looked like balls of fire but they were dim The formations looked like how Canadian geese migrate for the winter or another example would be the shape of a long bow. They were also able to switch place like they were playing games with each other. This isn't the first time I've seen a ufo, but I hope it's the last for my sanity. I know what we saw, I know most won't believe this but I watch the stars every night because of what I saw on my farm when I was a little kid, I know the difference between government, commercial, and the unexplained.
