Orage-white lights move over tree line and then disappear into sky While camping near Alum Creek Lake we were sitting by a small campfire, my girlfriend looked up and said look at this light. It was orange- red and then changed to a whitish color with some red mixed in. It started above a treeline then moved in a steady but fast speed, then it accelerated upward then disappeared slowly into the atmosphere.
Another orange-red object appeared over the treeline, very similar to first object it also accelerated up into the atmosphere and disappeared. 2 other similar lights appeared, then in same formation disappeared into the sky. These sightings were almost exactly what I had witnessed in Mt.
Vernon, Ohio, on 7/4/15 just prior to their fireworks display at Ariel Foundation Park, the only difference, the objects started as red oval objects above a treeline, then changed from red to the white orange type lights and then accelerated up into the sky. No small plane could accelerate at the speed these lights did and then disappear into the atmosphere. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Full Report Text:
Red/orange sphere hovering over Delaware, Ohio. My husband and I were just arriving home around 11pm, and we noticed a red orange sphere in the sky. It appeared stationary and then moved slowly towards us.
It then stopped again, and changed color from red to orange. It then dimmed down to a white light then became bright again and then blinked out completely. There was no sound.
There were no tail lights or trail left from it. I would estimate the object to have been at around 10,000 feet. It was a very clear night not a cloud in the sky.
We both found it strange that it just blinked out and disappeared. We had a good view and would have seen it, if it just flew off. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Full Report Text:
My girlfriend and I had a late Friday dinner in downtown Delaware. We left the restaurant at 8:15 to go back to her residence and started walking south on South Sandusky Street. We made a right on Spring St.
towards South Franklin where the car was parked. We passed a paint store and came to an open lot with a relatively open view of the sky. As we were walking, I noticed a red, almost pinkish, light through breaks in the northerly cloud bank.
A front was passing the area and cloud deck was low over the city and I thought that a Chicago flight was descending through the clouds to land at Port Columubs 30 miles south. There is always heavy air traffic over the city. I directed my girlfriend's attention to the light and we saw that it was descending through the cloud in an unusual manner.
The light suddenly disappeared and in its place was a jet black disk that slowly moved south. We both had, pardon the expression, a WTH moment. The disk was the size of a half dollar piece, held at arm's lenth, and silent.
Now this is where it gets eerie. As the disk moved south I half joking said, "Why don't you stop." As if it heard me the craft immediately stopped and hovered, maintaining its altitude.
The craft was tilted slightly to us and we could see that it had a spinning band around the middle. We could also see that the upper portion of the craft was lit and illuminating the cloud cover above it. We had an uneasy feeling that whoever was in the craft was observing us observing them.
It hovered for two minutes and then resumed a south eastern direction over the Ohio Wesleyan campus and was gone. We also saw the disk was wobbling as it left. Delaware is a growing bustling city with heavy retail traffic on Friday and Saturday.
Surely someone else should have seen this. Thanks for reading my entry.
