Ohio UFO Sightings in 2009

Full Report Text:

My nephew and I saw a large craft that was not identifiable and flying very low. The sun was just starting to go down and we were sitting on my living room floor playing a video game. The t.

v is on the floor and there is a window right above the t.v. the curtain to the window was wide open and we had a full view of the sky from where we was sitting.

As I noticed the large craft flying very low, I would guess about 10 stories up, my nephew says "Wow!" and I immediately knew what he was saying wow for as I was thinking the same thing. We both saw a very large triangle shaped craft, it was very bright we could see the bottom of the craft as it was flying away from us, it had flown right over our house! I mean directly over top of our house. It had several brightly colored lights on the bottom and it was the size of a jet liner.

I would think that I would have herd the craft but I didn't hear anything. If a plane would have been flying over head at that altitude it would have shook the house with the force of a hurricane. I didn't hear nothing, didn't feel nothing, and if we had not seen it I would have never even knew it was there.

It was as if it was just gliding along. This did not scare me at all. I wouldn't mind knowing! what it was, I figure it is some kind of military craft that no one knows of.

My nephew seems to think it was definitely from out of this world. Whatever it was, it was real and I saw it.

I saw 9- 12 craft in formation traveling from the ground uo 2500 ft and then disappearing one by one I was on my way home from shopping and as I turned on to my street, I noticed 5 or six craft orange lighted craft in formation traveling from the ground up. I pulled over to get a better look and realized that there was more like 9-12 of them. The lowest was at about 700 ft and the highest I would say was about 2500 ft.

At one point the craft had stopped and then they started to move again. When they reached the highest elevation (2500 ft) they disappeared one by one til they were all gone. I believe I saw these in the eastern sky.

When I saw them I knew right away, that these lights were special. I never saw anything like it and there was no sound what so ever. When you looked at the lights they appeared to have 3 or four colors.

It was absolutely awesome to see.

Strong white lit object seen over Canfield, OH for 15 minutes. Driving along US Rt. 224 in Ellsworth, OH into Canfield, OH, a strong white light was seen for 15 straight minutes out in the distance a couple thousand feet in the air.

As we approached the heart of Canfield, OH we saw the light and it was moving VERY slowly through the sky. I cannot see how it was a plane because it would have been moving a lot faster. It was not a star because it was so close to the ground.

I question if it is a helicopter because I've never seen one hover in the sky like that and I heard no noise. Please keep my name confidential.

second UFO in same area This is the second time I have seen a UFO in the same area. The space craft has lights and its kind of triangle and round at the same time. As i drive up the street i see bright lights low to the ground and as i get closer it is very clear that it is not a low airplian that it is something that is not normal.

It then starts to slowly fly away so I try to keep up with it, but I lost it going through my neighborhood. I think that its looking for something it seems. I have taken picture but it does not show up well at night, it seems strange that i have seen this UFO more than once in a very short time.

Full Report Text:

Large hovering light that changed into five separate, smaller lights. At about 18:00 on Sunday November 15th I was at work, in the forklift pulling hot steel coils off of the beam and placing them outside in the storage yard. I looked up in the northern sky and saw an extremely bright but small light traveling east in a straight line and it just looked very wrong and out of place.

It was hard to put my finger on what was wrong about it. The light was too bright, it didn't strobe or blink, but it was changing. I didn't think of this at the time, it only occurred to me the next day, but I think one reason that it looked so out of place is that I see plane after plane, all night long, make their landing descents towards Toledo Express Airport, but all of those landing descents take place in the southern sky - well south of my position at work.

But this light was in the northern sky. Anyway, I didn't think much of it, other than a kind of "that was weird" notion, and I went back inside to pull another coil off the beam. This time when I came back to the storage yard outside, there was the brightest light I've ever seen in my life sitting in the northern sky.

I literally said out loud "Oh my God!" The brightness of it looked like someone was welding or torch-cutting the sky. That's the best I can describe it. If you've ever looked at somebody welding without a visor on - it was that level of brightness.

It was stationary - it was not moving, and it was huge. I'm not good at estimating it's size but I would figure it was maybe about the size of 4 or 5 two-story houses put together. It did not have a shape.

It was constantly changing. "Boiling" is almost a good description of its manner and consistency. It was like a bubbling glob of light in the sky.

It's colors alternated between white, red, and green. Now I know that white, red, and gree! n are the colors of every single airplane at night but I assure you this was no airplane nor did it even remotely resemble an airplane. It didn't have lights that were blinking or changing color, it was light and it was changing color, and it was doing so about thirty times a second.

I would compare it to when someone blows into a pinwheel. That's how rapid the color-change was occurring. I'm also not good at estimating it's altitude but I would roughly guess somewhere around 5000 feet or so.

It was a clear night, but had there been clouds, it would have been below them. I called my coworker on the radio and asked if he was in the office. He said that he was so I told him to step outside and look above Winchesters (the truck stop on the corner of State Route 109 and County Road H.

) "WHAT THE F**K IS THAT!?!" he said. "Ok, I'm just making sure someone else is seeing this," I said. It was absolutely amazing.

My heart was racing, my hands were shaking, and it wasn't out of any kind of fear. It was out of excitement and out of the fact that this didn't belong or have any logical place in the sky that I've been looking at all of my life. This made no sense.

We watched transfixed as the light behaved the way I described above for a minute or two. Then, while we were sitting there watching it, two much smaller orbs came off of it (out of it, through it, I don't know) and began to fly independently. The main light was stationary but these orbs came off of it and flew east.

My coworker and I started shouting and swearing like lunatics, making sure the other had just seen that happen. After the two orbs flew off, they began to increase in size and brightness and the main light began to decrease. Soon all three lights were the same size.

At this point, I grabbed my cell phone and called my fiance because I wanted her to go outside and see if she could see this from Swanton. She didn't answer but she still has the voicemail I left describing the event as it was happening. I did not think to try and take a picture but I doubt much would have shone through a cellphone camera anyway.

In hindsight, I should have tried to call everyone I know. Soon the three lights formed the shape of a triangle and then held it for a minute or so. Then a fourth light appeared out of nowhere.

The other three lights broke their triangle formation and began flying around. The flying was not dramatic in the sense that they were zipping all around the sky, because that was not the case at all. Almost all of the flying was relatively slow but it was obvious that these lights could, and were, moving in any direction they wanted.

They could fly in a direction, stop on a dime, then head back the other way. Same thing with up or down. It did seem very deliberate to me and impossibly exact.

It wasn't chaotic. At one point, they formed a straight line, at another they would be jumbled together. I don't know if there was any noise because I was in the forklift but my coworker didn't hear anything.

The most I saw was five lights flying at the same time. Then, one of the lights flew in a straight line heading east, away from the rest of the lights. Once a considerable distance away, it stopped and then dimmed completely into disappearance.

At the exact moment that it was dimming away, a new light began to shine into existence in the western sky, on the other side of the rest of the lights. This would continue for a while. One of the lights would fade out while another one would simultaneously fade into existence.

But that wasn't always the case. Sometimes two would fade out and no new ones would appear. All the while, I had work to do so I had to keep returning to the beam to grab coils but then I would sit and watch the lights for a minute or two before I would have to return to the building again.

The whole incident from start to finish was about a half hour. The whole time it was occurring it looked like the event as a whole was slowly moving north. At around 18:25 all I could see was one large light in the sky, just like it had started, but it was much further north than when it first appeared.

Then, around 18:30 I returned to the building to grab another coil and when I returned the light was gone and I never saw it again. Luckily I have a witness to back this story up but I didn't think that was going to be valuable or even be an issue. I could not wait to get home to watch the news that night because I thought for sure every single person that was traveling on the Ohio Turnpike or Airport Highway (Rt.

2) had to either be calling this in or recording it. To me, there is no way anyone traveling on either road could have missed this; Or anyone in Fulton County, for that matter, with a view of the northern sky. I honestly expected helicopters or airplanes to arrive at any minute to investigate.

This was too unmissable, unnatural, and bright to be missed by anyone in the area. I thought for sure this was going to be story #1 on every single news program that night. So you can imagine how disappointed I was that night when there was no mention of anything on the news.

To this day, I cannot find anything about strange lights or UFOs on any of the local channels' or the Toledo Blade's we! bsites. I've also searched YouTube to see if any footage has been posted - If there has been, I haven't found it. But I've also searched YouTube to see if I can find any footage at all from around the world that resembles what I saw that night.

So far, I've found a clip or two that is similar, but nothing at all that makes me go: "There! That is what I saw!" It is surprisingly frustrating. The only tiny piece of validation I have, other than a 2nd eye witness, was a friend of mine who works at the Air National Guard base at Toledo Express Airport. I was telling him about the sighting and he confirmed that he was working the night of my sighting and he heard a group of coworkers make the joke that "Well, it sounds like the mother ship has landed.

" They were discussing the UFOs in the sky that night. My friend didn't think much of it at the time and he didn't have any other information. He didn't know if calls were coming into the base to report the UFOs or if the base itself was able to see them on radar.

He did not know if jets were scrambled to investigate (I never saw any.) But he did confirm that the base was at least aware that there was strange phenomena occurring in the sky on that night.

I saw a hazy oval circling a group of trees. Last November my dad and I saw a hazy oval like object circling around a group of trees by a pond in our back yard. It was about 2 feet wide and moved about 15 mph.

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

I saw bright multi-colored lights hoovering over downtown Toledo. It all started when I went outside to quiet my barking dogs. That's when I noticed a bright multi-colored light.

It was flashing white,blue and red. It appeared to be hoovering over downtown toledo.The lights were southeast of my location,so it is actually difficult to pin point the actual location.

The brightest light appeared to be hoovering and flickering multi-colored lights. There were two similar lights that went in opposite directions and by the way they moved I could tell they were not typical aircraft like helicopters or airplanes. At one point the brightest light went completely out for a period of what seemed a minute or two.

The other lights eventually came back towards the main light and then moved away again. It was totally strange. I watched them for atleast a half an hour before the main light faded off into the distance.

Four low flying fireballs over Cincinnati. I was driving home from work on Friday the 13th of November 2009. At around 7:40 pm near my home in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Westwood I viewed from the road while driving my car what looked like 3 flaming objects descending to Earth.

As CKY is just across the Ohio River and a major flight path goes over my neighborhood I assumed it was a mid air explosion of a commercial aircraft. As I drove towards where the objects seemed to be descending I saw there were actually four burning fire balls moving in formation. These were not burners, they were visibly flaming and left 'tails' as they moved.

It was an irregular motion and I watched them until they moved out of view. There was a lot of other aircraft activity in the sky as well, including a low flying(and fast) military aircraft that was discernably terrestrial and several civilian aircraft mentioned above that flew much higher and served as a point of reference for both fireballs and military plan. I ca! n still hear aircraft flying overhead in my apartment as a write.

Amazing. I also got a poor picture on my camera phone though it does reveal the 4 orbs.

4 lights shot across the sky - low - then hovered just above treeline - yellow/orange and one by one they dimmed & got bright & floated my son saw 4 lights zip across the sky - low then suddenly stopped and hovered near the horizon - they looked yellow to me but my 2 sons thought more orangish - then they slkowly floated towards the horizon and intermittently came on and off - individually - not all together - then one broke off and floated toward the ground - ( fell behind the treeline ) then one 'arced ' off and you could see a slight trail as it kind of half circled then went down also - then the others went sideways - then down - then they were gone . My son was so grateful we all ran out or we never would have seen them - there were 5 of us and it was bizarre!!.

I saw a triangle craft hovering up close in the past i have seen many unexplainable lights in the sky but never saw anything i was as sure of. while driving home with my brother and sister, i saw a triangle craft fly overhead at a very fast speed very low to the ground, mayber 200ft in the air. it had 3 lights like a plane, 2 white, 1 red.

I continued on my way home in the direction it was flying and came to a big field near my house. there i saw the craft again hovering in place above the field. I had now turned off the 3 lights and turned on a large green light which was mounted on the back.

after hovering in the same place for seconds it flew away at a very high speed. after that i just went home. Later i called my parents who werent home and told them of what had happened.

as i was standing on my porch gazing at a star an orange orb appeared in the sky. it began to fly towards my house. my brother immediatly got the camera and i began taking pictures.

as it flew overhead it was silent and you c! ould clearly tell it was a triangle shape. soon after black suv's began driving past my house, and i ran inside and called the police.

UFO New Vienna Ohio, 5-8 lights appear goldish one after another Sighting: I was driving home about 9:15, 10-29, I saw lights appear in the sky as I was leaving my sister a voicemail and described everything via voicemail to her. One light after another appeared in what seemed like 2-3 second intervals. There was about 5-8 lights, I was trying to watch the road, they came on in intervals, but disappeared all at the same time.

My eyes hurt afterwards and had a migraine, I had to leave work early on the 30th because my head hurt still. I drove past the next day and there was nothing there. This is an empty field, nothing else could explain what I saw.

I have always been skeptical of UFO's, but when I saw this craft, I knew. I can't explain what I saw, but it impacted me profoundly enough to write you and try to figure out what this was!.

Red-Lighted UFO UFO SIGHTING 10/29/2009 This just happened about an hour ago. I got online to look up UFO’s and found this site, so I thought I’d post. Location: Hamilton, Ohio Me and my mom were driving on the highway and my said, "Look at those lights.

" I start looking around, not knowing if she meant an airplane, a car, or a house. After a second I looked in the sky and saw it. First, a red light popped up, out of nowhere, then another, until there was four red lights, in a horizontal line; which kind of looked like a bar.

Then in the same order, the lights went out and it disappeared. That is what I saw. The whole thing lasted about 45 seconds.

My mom and I started talking and she said that she saw the same thing, but white lights. I don’t know what that means. The entire ride home, we were looking for it, to see if maybe it was an airplane or something like that.

It was definitely nowhere to be found. I was a little scared, excited and in disbelief. That isn’t the first time I have seen a UFO, but the last time I did, I was about 9years old.

It was just unexpected.

8 Lights Near New Vienna Witness 1 - 18 years old I live in a rural area of Ohio and this is definitely not a common occurrence. I was driving home with my two younger brothers on the night of 10/29/09 and the time was approximately 8:45 pm. or 20:45 Eastern Time, and as I turned onto my street, I looked up in the sky and saw 8 spheres of light.

I slammed on my breaks and just stared at them trying to figure out exactly what it was that I was looking at. I had never seen anything like it before in my entire life. It was hard to tell if the lights were one or eight different objects.

The lights were white with a yellow tint to them and were in a perfect line with one another. There were no distortions or imperfections to the spheres at all, only a small halo of light surrounding each one. They were spaced out evenly and had the appearance of having a curvature formation to them like a saucer or the such.

They also were approximately 17 to 20 times greater in size than the largest star that was near the lights (in the night sky). The lights were approximately 45 degrees to the horizon in the southeast direction from my position where I was stopped in the road. I would say that the lights were about half a mile away from where I was.

The lights were near my family's property and were a ways up in the sky too. Then, just as suddenly as I had seen them, the lights started to go out one by one. There was a bit of rotation to them as they went out.

I tried to see where they had gone, but there was nothing in the sky. The only visible objects were a couple of far-off airplanes, the moon, the stars, and clouds. There were no smoke trails as from a bottle-rocket or other firework product.

There was absolutely nothing left after the lights disappeared. I drove around on the back roads for about ten minutes looking for firework trails or an aircraft or anything to explain the situation. I also kept looking in the same spot where I had seen the lights, but nothing appeared there again.

I finally went home and stood outside for around twenty minutes looking for anything that may be an answer to this phenomenon. I never saw the lights or anything that even resembled them again. Witness 2 - 11 years old I saw a curve of 8 white lights in the south-eastern sky.

Then they went out one by one evenly. Then, we drove down [our road]. We saw nothing that could have caused them.

We drove down another road and didn't see anything else. Witness 3 - 9 years old I saw 8 white balls of light in the sky. They went out one by one.

It was about 8:45 at night. First there were 8, then 7, then 6, then etc., then there weren't any left.

Possible 7-8 flares seen in sky Was traveling on State Route 276 to Bauer Road East, towards State Route 32. Just before we reached Bauer Rd. we looked up in the sky to our left.

We saw about 7-8 orange colored glowing balls in the sky. I've seen them before, possibly flares. It was cloudy and so they quickly disappeared within 1-2 minutes.

Very large silent craft with 4 lights moving slowly across the sky While driving in the car heading north on Rt 48 near 725 my son spotted 4 very bright lights low in the sky. We thought it was an airplane, possibly one of the C5s from Wright Patterson AFB. But then we noticed it was too low and too massive to be a plane.

I slowed down the car and we rolled down the windows. We heard nothing. It was silent and moved at a slow speed east to west and then turned north and east disappearing behind the trees.

On 10/26/2009 saw flat, triangular silver colored aircraft making loud motor noise flying low over my house very near Ohio Turnpike I went outside to get in my car and heard a noise that was like none other I have heard coming from the sky. It was almost like a loud “lawnmower” type sound not the sound of an aircraft. Definitely loud.

I looked up in the sky and was in awe. It was silver/aluminum looking in color, one large white light on the underside and was definitely triangular in shape. It was low and was in full view over our yard.

I ran to the front door and yelled for my husband and then ran back to view it. It flew almost straight at me, but up where a small engine plane would fly. It had two short “flaps” that went up vertical on the two back corners “like if you made a paper airplane and put little flaps on the corners.

It had no wings. By the time my husband got outside it was going higher and circling around. It flew fast, very fast and went behind the trees across the street and looked like it was circling back by us when all of a sudden it curved the opposite di! rection and disappeared up into the clouds out of sight.

We live directly on the Ohio Turnpike(backyard edges it) very near exit 13 and also have State Route 43 and State Route 14 very nearby. The sky was extremely clear and visibility was perfect. There were two or three jets up above leaving jet streams, but this object left nothing behind and it was broad daylight.

I saw it very clearly. I am a very reliable person to tell about this as I taught school for 28 years, have lived in the same home for 20 years, work at a church and do not smoke, drink or do drugs. I did have my glasses on.

To be honest, I kept thinking “this thing has to be a remote control”. But then I came to my senses that it was large, fast, flying high, and was not , could not be remote controlled once I saw it fly away up into the clouds and disappear a mile or so away. I saw it on October 26th, 2009 at approximately 6:15 p.

m. My husband did not see it up close like I did, but he did watch it glide or fly across the sky and circle around and then disappear into the clouds. It just looked like something that should not be able to fly and I cannot fathom where a pilot would be.

It did not have windows or such and was strange to look at.I was facing west and it disappeared northwest.

One star-shaped object. I thought it was Venus, being the brightest of the night stars. But then it glowed bright, and moved upward, relative to planes and "debris/falling stars" I've seen before in my life.

It moved higher, slowly (one mississippi.), directly upward, and by the slow count of three it faded, as a light, into dissapearance. I'm a sinic so I called my mom, who is not.

As I was leaving a message to tell her I saw this I saw what looked like a shooting star. I saw the news about the potential meteor shower in the AM, but this was different, to say the least. Thanks.

Grey Disk accelerates at incredible speed UFO SIGHTING Date: 10/20/2009 Time: 05:30 am I got up to watch the Orion Meteor Shower. I was inside my home looking out the windows of a french door that is in the rear of my home. The view is looking directly south.

The meteor shower was being observed from west to east across my back yard. The night sky was crystal clear with no clouds being visable. I had been watching the shower approximately 15 minutes when I noticed a gun metal grey object stationary in the sky.

It was just below a bright star. It stood out in the clear sky.I would say it looked more like a plate.

As soon as I noticed the object, it accelerated in a straight line due south at an incredible speed and was out of site in a second. I did not hear any sound as I was indoors. There were no lights on the object.

I was stunned by the speed of this object. All I can say is that I saw what I saw.

A bright white light over Dayton that danced around the sky at incredible speeds My fiance and I were sitting in our bed, when he looked out our window and spotted bright light in the distance that seemed to be moving strangely. We stared trying to decide if maybe it was a star or satelite. It started to move up very fast and side to side at fast speeds.

At this point, we knew it was neither. It was a bright white light with a faint blue light. We stared at it for 10 minutes in disbelief watching it move around irradically.

It eventually dropped down out of our sight. We are not sleeping well tonight!.
