Ohio UFO Sightings in 2006

Full Report Text:

the object was very big and like I said had thousands of lights on it. we were walking out of the high school after a band performance,it was about 11:00 pm or 10:00 pm it was very dark and cold outside which made it hard to see the UFO'S exact shape. the object had thousnds of lights on it they were,purple,blue,yellow,green and red.

I looked up into the sky and seen a huge flying object with thousands of tiny lights on it. itwas probably about two thousand feet up in th air and was probably about twelve miles away from us.i tried to get the other person's attention but they didn't hear me.

when I turned around the object was about fifteen miles away from us, then it just dissapeared. ((NUFORC Note: Possible hoax?? PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

Odd hazey sphere apeared over the Akron/Canton area during sunrise. My friends and I we're standing outside our high school waiting for a school bus. I saw a white smokey trail come out of the southern horizon quite a distance away from us.

I would have to guess on the order of several miles or more. At first I thought it was some type of rocket lifting off, the zig zagging of the trail indicated that. The trail abruptly cut off after a few minutes of rising.

Then a minute or so later a second trail appeared going up in the same way about a thumb width away from the first trail. The second one rose much higher. I measured it with my hand on its side, it went up a little more than the width of my hand then vanished.

A few seconds passed, and another trail appeared above the trail that had just cut off. I assumed it was the same object, but I could see a glowing bright light at the tip unlike in the previous trails. The sun was up above the horizon and to my left.

The bright light flew to the west for a few seconds and then stopped and stood still. A large haze started to come from the object, spreading out to make a sphere of haze that was by my guess a mile wide. This haze stood in the air for at least five minutes after the light had vanished.

The trails had not dispersed when I had gotten on the bus and stopped looking. I looked at a clock, it had been twenty minutes. There were about six of us there who all saw it.

Two adults and four teenagers including myself. Later when we got to a speech tournament, my coach had talked to a coach from Akron (a full 30 miles away from Canton) whose students had also described to her an identical event. ((NUFORC Note: Missile launch out of Wallops Island, VA.

fireball left a glowing contrail as it went out and re- ignited Driving east from Mt. Vernon on rt.36 southwest of Danville, at approximately 1:00 on the lower 1/3 of the sky , I observed a glowing fireball the size of a streetlight.

As it got brighter a 6" circle of the sky began to glow light blue as if in a haze. It expanded like a balloon then faded out. Shockwave? The light then went out and re -ignited, then went out again leaving a zig zag contrail similiar to the challenger contrail.

The contrail glowed in the morning dawn for 15 min. I thought, space junk, meteor, or a jet plane had exploded. It looked like a failed rocket launch on the horizon.

I have seen no info yet but others driving east must have seen it. It was huge. No sound or shockwave felt.

bright slow moving light in haze with vapor trail seen Bellaire Ohio in eastern sky 12/16/06 at 07:00 EST Observed in eastern sky a large bright slow moving object with great luminoscity and as bright as the moon. Appeared to be high in the atmosphere, since the object appeared to be shrouded in fog or haze. Object was able to be observed over hilltop, so was not low on horizon, but probably 30/35 degrees above horizon.

A large tail of what appeared to be rocket exhaust plume was seen high rising high into the sky and lower on the horizon to the south east of the object. ((NUFORC Note: Missile launch from Wallops Island, VA. PD)).

Low light stops, grows to a very large msty light. The large round lighted mist is gone and now, A starburst! My friend and I had split up and were settling in for the moring deer hunt. He was probably a half mile from me and saw the entire happenings.

As I had walked to my position where I was going to sit and wait for Whitetail deer (about 50 yards from a large wood line in a picked soybean field) I looked over at a beautiful red horizon where the sun was going to be rising soon, As I looked I saw what appeared to be jet contrails coming from almost directly from where the sun was about to rise. For a split second I didn't think a thing about it but just as quick I thought it was strangely low in the horizon to be contrails. Now the contrail seems to moving very fast and right at my frined and myself.

Suddeny the contrails stopped and now I could see one very bright light. This light, now no longer producing contrails seemed to be at a very high rate of speed and was still heading right at us. the next thing that happend really shocked me.

I continued to watch and suddenly the light stops. Not right over top of me but still out in front of me and was now lower than at any other point. My guess would be 500 to 700 feet.

Just as it stopped the single light seemed to begin growing. The light grew and it wasn't just light but a mist or fog seemd to growing within this ever expanding light. It still was not moving.

In much less than 1 second, the misty light or large circle of light disappeared and once again it was just this single light hovering. Then in another split second the single light turned into a larger starburst light! Now the object is moving slowly to my left (North) But it may not have been moving directly left as it didn't get smaller in size or seem farther away as you would expect an oject to do as it moved along to my left. I thought it may have actually been moving to my left and slightly forward.

I conituned to watch it and just then my phone, which is set on vibrate, begins to do so. I answered it and it was my buddy asking me if I was watching this too. I said of course.

As we were talking about the events we just saw the light seemed to be fading away. But not really fading as if it was moving away and becoming faint. This was not the case at all.

It was simply disappearing. It looked as if was slipping behind a curtain. It started to disappera on the Sunburst right side and continue to move towards that side until the whole thing was gone.

Someone may think it was cloud it slipped behing. Nope.There wasn't a cloud in the sky on this beautiful Saturday morning.

It was crystal clear with thousands of stars out. This thing just slipped away into thin air! My friend and I contued to discuss this for quite sometime before we started to think about actually hunting. I have always loved airplanes.

I model them and go to airshows all over a three state area around Ohio. I am somewhat fimiliar with any aircraft, it's lighting and and it movement. This couldn't have been the movement of any aircraft I have ever seen.

I think We certainly would've heard some prop or jet sounds. Not close of course, as even airliners that are very high in the sky can be heard at 7:00 am in the middle of a large area where there is nothing but crops and woods. ((NUFORC Note: Missile launch from Wallops Island, VA.

Real UFO sited but denied (missile launch ,lol) NOT!! Just wanted to say very disappointed . Reported a UFO that occurred 12/16/06 in Ohio ,you state it was a missle lauch . What are you covering up ? It was craft way to low in sky, missles dont stop .

Dont turn into portholes in the sky . Vanish and reappear . They dont stop rotate before your eyes , emit smoke cloud so it can't be seen (CAMO).

I saw windows, I saw the smoke rolling out of this craft as it rotated . How if it was a missle could I see windows . You deny whats ligit why ? Look at other reports on that day same area.

I don't get it. Still ticks me off to this day .

December 15, 2006; large lights above field coming and going as they please My wife and i were driving to my mothers house when in the sky at about a 25 degree from the earth we saw at the time was just aircraft. It started as 2 white dull lights then they became bright, they disapered then came back as 3 dull lights and continued for about 5 minuets in spurts of 3 to 4 lights appering at a time. I just thought it was just an airplane but a co worker said he saw the same thing at the same time.

We havent seen them since but Wednesday night around 02:00 hours i was in my kitchen and saw it again this time it lasted only 2 or 3 minuets. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

Triangle aircraft/UFO witnessed by pilot (ground observer) in Tallmadge Ohio I was on the north side of the Tallmadge circle. The object was south of the circle, a few degrees above the horizon. I did lose sight of it a few times due to vacinity to trees (on the circle itself).

I know it is difficult, even for proffesionals, to judge shape, distance, altitude, and speed of moving objects from the ground, but I will make my best guess. The craft itself appeared to be the size of a commercial airline transport. It appeared to be low and slow, I would guess 2000'MSL and under 100KTS.

The craft originated from the south west travelling north east. When it was due south of the circle, it vectored to its right, now heading south east. It travelled in this direction until obscured from sight by buildings and other ground clutter.

During its turn to the south east, the craft appeared to bank much the way a conventional aircraft would. Initially, I saw the craft from almost head on. It appeared to be a large aircraft with several landing lihghts (very bright, white lights, facing forward).

During its turn and bank, I could see its underside. The ventral surface seemed to have a large white light at its tip, and two more aft of the nose. The second two were very far apart laterally, and appeared to be at the tail end of the craft, implying a delta or flying-wing shape.

In the middle was another white light. There also appeared to be standard aviation anti-collision (strobe) lights about half way between the nose and tail, but no position (colored) lights, nor a red beacon. I was standing outside, and the craft did not make any noise that I could hear over the sound of traffic.

I would have suspected a jet powered aircraft in that proximity, but with exhaust facing away from me, to at least make the tell tale turbine "whine" A reciprocating engine aircraft of that size in that proximity would have made the ground shake.

electrical shortage while driving, (1st time to happen while driving) time was in slow motion, calm. and then electic was restored. First a little intro.

I consider myself a naturalist, loving, and spiritual creature who doesn't dismiss something just because I'm either unknowledgeable of the material or haven't witnessed it myself. (People love to tell you what you've seen, which is wrong IMO) At the time of the event it was around 9 o'clock or so at night, and while I was driving down a road (like I normally did for work a million times before) and all of the sudden my car's headlights, interior lights, all lights blacked out for about 15 seconds. (it seemed longer/almost slow motion) I was scared, yet calm all at once.

like I knew I would be alright. I was app.: 3-4 months pregnant at the time it occurred, but everything was fine.

(I had to catch my breath once my lights finally turned back on though) I've told this little story to my husband and he thinks maybe I was abducted and that they were interested in the pregnancy.?? I don't have the answers I'm looking for still. My beautiful girl is now about to turn 5, but I've had a hard time baring anymore children.

I've had 3 miscarriages since her, last time was twins. I just wonder.seems odd.

??? Now, I know some may think it was just a technical glitch with my car, but to this very day I feel like they are communicating with my. I see a flickering light outside of my window pretty frequently, and I have (for some reason) stronger than normal electrical currents/frequencies via my fingertips. Also, I hear noised lasting about 5-8 seconds at a time (only occasionally) that sound like radio waves.

Similar to the sound a radio makes while searching for a station, but it's fuzzy. I heard it in both my ears (and I have great hearing) and their was NO radio on. Not to try to make myself feel unique, but I wonder if I'm a star seed???!!! I talk to them every time I see the flickering bright light outside my door.

It's NOT an airplane… their is a HUGE difference!! Hope I don't sound to freaky. I'm just a loving mom, wife, and idealist.

Looks like a star but has red, green, and blue flashing lights when you look closer. Same as a couple of the descriptions in here. I have seen what appears at first to be a really bright star, but as you look more closely with a pair of binoculars you see that this object doesn't fly but just hovers instead.

And when you look at it with binoculars you can clearly see red, blue, and green lights flashing. I live right beside clermont county airport so I see planes fly over head everyday. It just so happens that on one of the nights I seen this object a plane from the nearby airport flew by and you could clearly make out the difference between the plane and the object that I have seen now about 3 times in the past two months.

My mother who lives about 15 miles away called me up the first night and told me to go outside and look up. I didn't think anything of it until I grabbed my binoculars and looked more closely. Thats when I seen the red, blue, and green lights falshing.

Definently not a star or plane. ((NUFORC Note: Possible sighting of Sirius?? PD.

As I was driving east on US Route 30 between Massillon and Canton, right by the Ashland Oil refinery, I witnessed a green flash that lasted several seconds and then disappeared. On the right shoulder of the road was a police car with its lights flashing. It appeared to be very high up in the sky and seemed to be descending toward the ground.

((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Shining Craft seen in the Columbus, Ohio area. Round in shape no noise about 5000ft above tree level. At around 1245 on 12.

10.06 I walked out on my back porch which faces North to have a cig. The sky was partly cloudy with very clear skies over my home and about 42 degrees.

I stepped out to see a DC9 heading in a westerly direction leaving a good trail behind it flying at about 13000ft. above my home. I looked North to see a Cessna single engine four seater heading in a southerly direction flying at about 2000ft towards Port Columbus Airport.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a craft coming from the Northeast heading in a Southwesterly direction. I looked at it to see what airplane company it was because of its low flying; about 50000 ft. It was shiny reflecting the sun from the top, no wings, round in shap with no noise.

It was a pretty big craft, almost the size of the DC9 at 13000ft. I watched it till it sped off quickly into the clouds that were off in the distance to the west.
