Columbus, OH
Several round red orange circles in an arch. Slowly separated and dimmed and brightened. Some at very high altitude. Lights disappeared as we got closer. As we followed the last light it faded out and wevcould see the oval silhouette as it moved away slowly and then took off at a high rate of speed. One of the other lights went straight up when we drove under and then took off very quickly in the other direction. Asked locals at a nearby store on the west side about the lights. They told us friends frontage east side had also seen lights earlier in the night.

Marysville, OH
I was driving westbound on US Rt. 33 towards Marysville. I was getting close to Scottslawn Rd. when I saw an aircraft of some sort that I initially thought might be circling around to land at Union County airport. But then it started heading towards me above Rt 33. It seemed to be rather low, so I paid close attention to it. As it drew nearer to me I came to realize it did not appear to be an airplane or helicopter. I got a good look at it as it passed above me out the driver side window. It was maybe 200 feet up in the air, and it was a hexagonal shape, and on the bottom of the craft, there was a large blue circular light in the middle, and smaller blue circular lights at each corner of the hexagon. Also, what struck me as being very strange is the craft made no sound. If it were a jet or any other craft I'm familiar with, at that altitude, it would have been pretty loud. It was really weird, and freaked me out. It was headed towards Dublin, OH down rt. 33. Definitely the weirdest thing I've ever seen in person with my own eyes. There is only 3 possibilities of what it was in my mind, a secret military/government aircraft, a drone (but it was too big to be a drone I think), or an alien spacecraft.

I was sitting on my porch in my backyard hanging out with friends when I looked up at the sky and I saw a round dick looking object floating in the sky. Some neighbors were setting off fire crackers a few yards down so I originally thought what I was seeing was a fire cracker, however that wasn't the case. This object was floating in one place in the sky and was making no noise whatsoever. It had alternating green, yellow, white, and red lights circling around the exterior of the object, this was how I observed the shape - round disk/saucer. It stayed there for maybe a total of 10 seconds and then it just disappeared with a small white flash, but no noise coinciding with its departure. My neighbors continued to set off fire crackers for the rest of the night but I never saw anything again like what I had seen for that brief 10 seconds.

Then a third sighting apx. 6/30 i was outside but sitting on my front rs porch and i saw two orange glowing lights again. They seemed to be headed in the direction of my house side by side moving in a straight direction. Then changed direction moving south instead of west towards me. They stayed side by side then just vanished. I called mufon and made a report here two years ago. A person from my area was supposed to come over to my hom because of the major sighting and investigate it due to 3 of us had such a bazzar encounter two years ago and it was hovering over my house for several minutes actually 15 to 20 minutes but he never bothered to come and interview me. So this time i am not bothering with mufon and reporting it here instead. That upset me. Especially since the home base for mufon is here in the Cincinnati area. I just know now when i go outside i always look up and yet get afraid of what i will see due to such a close encounter i had two years ago on the same date. That ufo was about 150 to 200 ft over my house and i think or feel like it knew we were paying attention to it. That was a green round disk plus orbs. Moved very slow and hovered right over us.

I think I saw a UFO because it wasn't like a plane or a helicopter! It was like a shooting star but it was blinking and made a complete circle and just disappeared! It didn't last very long but you could tell long enough that it was something that came from out of this world. Very strange and one of the weirdest things I've ever seen!

Bloomingdale, OH
I was sitting on my porch at approximately 23:00 hours and looked up in to the clear night sky at what I thought was a bright orange star flickering in the south sky. It became apparent after I stared at it for several seconds that it was hovering and moving gently to the left and the right. I then thought it was some type of plane or helicopter but I heard no sounds of engines from a helicopter or plane. It also seemed so high and far away because it was the size of the stars that were out in the sky. Within the first minute of observing it moving back and forth from east to west the orange light broke away into three orange lights then took the form of an inverted triangle, with the original orb being at the base of the inverted triangle while two other orbs formed the top corners. It appeared as a black triangular mass that was joined at the three corners by the orange lights. It briefly expanded and contracted and moved to the right fairly quickly and then just hovered remained stationary. I then opened the door and yelled for my husband to come quick and tell me what he sees. He ran to the kitchen window saw where I was describing and then the three orbs seemed to contract back into the original orb and it immediately shot straight up (quickly) and the event was over. It only lasted for approximately 4-5 minutes. I stood and observed the sky for about another five minutes and saw and heard nothing.

Myrtle Beach, OH
We were on our balcony in North Myrtle Beach when we saw the first red light. We saw this two night ago so we all gathered to watch. The lights appear and then 5 more appear one by one in a line. This would happen in different locations in the sky all across Myrtle Beach. The lights are then followed by small flashing lights in the same area.

Newmarket, OH
last night we saw two different orange circle in the sky. One came first, very bright orange. We thought it was a plain or helicopter, but there was no noise of jets. It it was flying in a straight line and disappeared with in two minutes. A second later another one shows up following the same flying pattern. We took pictures and it looks like a big orange circle with a dark circle center. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Solon, OH
My girlfriend's mom called us on her way home from work saying she saw 3 bright rectangular orange lights with red outlines. The lights were forming the shape of a triangle about 200 ft. in the air. She said the lights were about the size of small cars. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Columbus, OH
I saw a tiny white dot come across the sky from low on the horizon as it were a plane or a star. It was silent and slowed to a stop a few degrees southeast of the field I was in and appeared to drift rapidly from side to side, speed up, and slow down moving rapidly in different directions at a very high altitude. It continued moving from east to west in an erratic manner far above the clouds with no jet trails or sound. The object would appear to stop and then dart rapidly as it were moving very fast but over a very small arc less than a tenth of a degree. It gradually seemed to drift south of me from east to west but approached the area I was in more rapidly slowing almost to a stop. It was partly cloudy and there were no stars in the sky. The sun had set half an hour before. It was around 9:45 PM. At one point it was moving so slowly I thought it might be moving in the opposite direction it came but there was definitely a subtle and rapid darting from side to side. I noticed nothing else in the sky that seemed to reflect or emit light at the time. The dot may have had a slightly yellowish tint. What was unusual was that it seemed to approach the field I was in very rapidly as though it were a plane traveling in one direction and once it were about three or four degrees southeast of me it stopped and drifted very slowly darting around erratically but subtly. I got tired of watching it as it moved slowly south and west from me continuing the erratic darting and slowing as it were not moving quickly enough across the sky for me to watch it go to the horizon. I could not identify the object. It could have been a satellite or space station or something not extraterrestrial, but what was unusual was that it had slowed and stopped a few degrees from where I was and darted around.

Keep watching it then it started going into this orange then white as it got bigger it was almost in the trees in the NNW and it looked very round and it keep getting lower. When I called for people to look and tell me what it could be it got really small and then just looked like a red dot. This is not the first time I have seen this I seen it earlyer this year not sure what it is. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Vandalia, OH
Around 10:30 p.m. EST, I was out on my back porch swing, when I saw two very large, orange, round, and silent lights coming from the southwest over the toward the northeast. They looked like they belonged to one very large, triangular aircraft at first, flying too low and coming from the wrong direction. But there is a local airport, so I know very well what low-flying planes look and sound like. The lights then started to move west again, farther away from me, and I could see that they were moving separately. Their flight was quite low, and as I watched them move farther away to the west they started to fade and then disappeared altogether. Then, around 10:40 p.m. EST I saw another, singular orange light come from the southwest direction. It flew more slowly than the previous two, but seemed to follow their trajectory. Just as before, as I watched it fly farther west before it faded and then seemed to disappear.

Piqua, OH
On 06-14-2014, I was night fishing at Swift Run Lake on state route 66 in Piqua, Ohio. I arrived around 7:00 PM. At 8:53 PM I noticed a blue arrowhead shape craft and a yellowish gold teardrop shape craft stationary in the sky. The craft began to glow or emit light. The craft were doing the exact same manuevers at the exact same time. I watched the crafts until two other crafts joined them at 9:33 PM. The other two that joined the glowing spheres was a silver disc and the other was a black sphere with a red glow. I saw and heard what appeared to be three military jets chasing towards them in which they all shot off into different directions.

Kettering, OH
What appeared to be burning/glowing triangles flew above Kettering tonight for approximately 40 minutes. I spotted them at midnight. Heading up from the south they gained speed and altitude before heading west. At first I thought it was possibly Chinese lanterns, but they were flying in a pattern, some were larger and some were smaller. They also traveled at different rates of speed. No sound whatsoever. Have video. Strangest thing I have ever seen. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. She assures us that the report is both sincere, and accurate. She captured video. She found video on YouTube from other witnesses, under the title, "Strange Lights over Kettering, Ohio." PD

There were 4 objects looked like little balls of fire, orangish in color, not a perfect oval or circle there was no sound height seemed to be about what a small prop plane would fly, they were very visible to the eye moving at a constant speed, and stayed very symmetrical to each other they were heading in a west north direction watched them until they were to far away to see.

Canal Winchester, OH
Just after dusk, saw a glowing reddish-orange sphere about the size of a small car, suspended approximately 150 to 200 feet above next door neighbor’s house for about 2-3 minutes. The object made no noise. It moved higher into the sky while heading west and then turned northwest toward the local airport at about 50-60 miles per hour.

I saw 4 orange lights in the sky, I have never seen anything like them. Minutes later I saw another one. Two went out of sight, I recorded the other two, and the on that appeared after, and the seemingly disappeared. They moved at a planes speed, but I have never seen this color light, and they disappeared. One moved towards the other, and then away. I am in shock.. 28 married maled, maintenance man.

Springfield, OH
I saw what appeared to be planes or helicopters with red lights coming from the SSW moving to the NW following each other. Then a large aircraft (ship) approached from the east, with white lights on the bottom, headed west. Two more of the aircraft with red lights appeared and joined the others. All five of these then seemed to be following the path of the big ship. They all disappeared on the horizon. Did anyone else see this? Their red lights caught my attention.
