It was triangular, white, glowing, and soundless The shape of the craft was triangular diamond shaped that had sharp edges. It was white, glowing, and soundless. It stayed the exacted speed with the exact height for the duration of its travel.

It wasn’t going fast or slow maybe like 5-10 mph. The motion of it was unusual it was gliding but unnatural. Certainly something I haven’t seen before.

We were in the pool swimming when I looked up and it emerge from the house and flew across to the end of garage then disappeared. It was a residential neighborhood near Lake Erie.

Unknown object moving extremely fast through sky. I would like to preface this account to state that everything happened so quickly that I can not say with complete certainty what I saw. The account below will be on the long side, but I am attempting to be clear in what I know for sure and what is a little hazy.

The experience was very surprising and almost surreal. After thinking about the experience for the past week and talking with several people about it, I remain confident that what I saw is not explained by any object that I am aware of (bird, plane, helicopter, drone). In the early evening of Tuesday, September 19, 2019, I was out for a walk with my five-year old son.

We were outside in part because there were thousands of dragonflies in our front yard and the yards nearby. I have never seen anything like that. When I got home from work, I had noticed quite a few flying around.

Over the next hour or so, they became more and more numerous. Around 6:30pm, I took my son outside to see them. We then went for a walk down to Lake Erie.

As we were walking back to our house, I kept looking around at the dragonflies which were everywhere. At 6:45pm (+/- 10 minutes), we were several hundred feet west of our house in a relatively open area. The sky was clear, with very few/no clouds.

As I looked up in the sky, I saw a moving object in the south sky. I immediately noticed its very fast pace. I could not associate it with anything such as a plane, helicopter, or bird.

My first thought was that it was a drone, based on its apparent size and distance away. We see small drones in the area from time to time, but they usually move somewhat erratically, slowly, and always seem to have blinking lights. As I tried to process what I was seeing, I realized that it was moving as if it was an arrow shot from a bow.

There was absolutely no deviation from its course. I noticed no lights. The object appeared to me to be gray and elongated (in the direction of travel).

I saw no exhaust or trails. I attempted to listen for a sound, but heard nothing discernible. When I first spotted the object, it was slightly east of due south.

It was traveling east/north-east. I would say that it was at an angle of approximately 20 degrees above the horizon. There was no obvious change in its elevation during the time that I saw it.

I followed its path until it disappeared from my view just north of due east. There are condo towers east of my neighborhood. They are approximately thirty stories tall.

I lost sight of the object when it passed the towers and my sight of it was blocked. After it had passed, I tried to process what I had just seen. I sat down on a bench in our front yard with my son to continue watching the dragonflies.

Approximately several minutes later (maybe more), I heard the noise of a large helicopter. Very soon a Chinook helicopter appeared from the east heading almost due west. We see one or often three Chinooks heading east or west out over Lake Erie (1000' north of our house) not infrequently.

This one was probably less than 200' north of our house. I haven't seen one so close before. My son and I watched as it passed over, and I rushed to get my phone in camera mode.

I was able to snap a photo of it when it was about to disappear behind some trees several hundred feet west of me. Since seeing this, I have tried to figure out what it was that I saw. The speed that it was moving was much greater than anything that I have seen before.

I have watched the International Space Station pass over, and this traveled across the sky much, much quicker. My best estimate is that it traveled about two miles during the time that I saw it (5-10 sec.I can't be sure).

Red pulsing stationary light There is no spectacular story here, it's just that I cannot explain this red, pulsing light that I saw on my drive to work this morning. I pulled up to the stoplight to turn onto the highway on ramp, and noticed this red ball of light in the sky. It was high enough that it wasn't coming from a house or a building in the area.

It had to be something in the sky. There are no poles nearby that could emit the light. There were no other colors.

It was just one red ball of light, that just stayed in one spot. It was not an airplane because it did not travel. It was not a helicopter.

It only had one red light, so it was not a pole that warns aircraft of low power lines and it wasn't a cell phone tower. I am familiar with this area in the day light which is why I cannot figure out what it was. As I turned on to the highway the light continued to pulse, in that same spot.

I kept looking back over my shoulder to make sure I didn't see other colored lights or additional lights or movement- but I didn't. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Twinkling amber star like UFO shot straight up into the night sky from tree tops in disappeared over Lakewood/Rocky River OH Ooomfg!!! We were sitting on the front porch at 10:42 PM, Saturday night, 8/15/15, and watched this amber twinkling star like light move straight up from the tree tops (north western sky) up to the stars very quickly! Wow. It went straight up into the night sky into the stars and vanished. It seemed to start off slow then pick up speed as it kept going up to space.

Twinkling like an amber star it appeared to have come up from trees in the distance as if it had landed somewhere in the north western part of Lakewood/Rocky River, Ohio, area. Then, it just went straight up, which is unnatural to any plane or helicopter movements. Did not have lights but twinkled like a star.

My family was watching my soccer game and on of my cousins asked why the airplanes seem so close and it's because the airport is near. While looking into the sky, they saw something weird and it started to move away but just floated. It was almost a bronze color with looked like pipes all over it but was not a drone and it changed shape.

I have a couple of pictures with it.

Orange light flies overhead and turns black as it passed silently. At about 21:00 I witnessed an orange glowing light coming in from the southeast. It was bright orange but once overhead the color was gone.

As it headed over me and went in a straight line to the northwest it became black. It made no noise, and did not appear to be decending. I would not have been able to see the object if I had not saw it coming in.

It was not visible at all before it made it to the horizon.

Motionless silent flashing colored lights I was riding my bicycle to a friend’s house, and was a little lost. After turning around to backtrack, I noticed two colored flashing lights in the sky horizontally placed next to each other. It looked like a plane, except they didn’t seem to be moving, or making noise like a helicopter.

As I coasted slowly up the street, I had my gaze fixed on the object, and for almost a minute it did not appear to move. Then a streetlight obstructed my vision for no more than a second, and the object was gone. The sky was totally clear, and there were no buildings obstructing the general area where I saw it.

I stopped my bike and stared at the sky for several minutes trying to figure out where it had gone, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the sky. I would like to add that I am skeptical about this kind of thing, and I am not certain that I saw something paranormal, that my eyes didn't play a trick on me, but it is somewhat confusing to me. The main reason I came to this site was to see if anyone else had seen something unusual that night.

Two sets of flashing lights over lake Erie in Cleveland. I live on the 10th floor of a 17 floor building here in Cleveland Ohio. I have a Easterly view and a partial view of Lake Erie.

The next building to mine is far enough away that I can get a pretty good view of the sky. Today was a pretty windy and cold day here in Cleveland, so the waves off the lake are pretty rough. Since I can hear the waves, I tend to notice the lake more and often look out my window to see how big the white caps are.

At about 10:00 tonight I did just that. I couldn't see the waves so well, so I glanced up and saw what I thought were two airplanes. Airplanes often approach the city from the lake side, so I didn't think much of it.

The "Planes" had three lights each, which again didn't surprise me because I thought i was seeing the two wing tip lights and then a central light under the fuselage. The lights were blinking rapidly and were more of a strobe fashion. The lights on the objects were white and red, and I can't remember what order they were in.

I immedately noticed how close the sets of light were, and thought they might be helicopters, but I didn't hear any sound. Just when I thought that, the lights, which were moving in a northwest to south east direction started to rotate around each other in a circular fashion. The set of three lights in the lead, kind of looped back and circled around the three trailing lights.

Then the three trailing lights took a sharp turn and went north, while the first set of three lights proceeded on it's southeastern course. Its fairly overcast here, so when the lights were obscured by clouds, I never saw them again. At first, i was really scared, because I was still under the impression that these were airplanes.

I thought, oh my god, they must have clipped wings, and the one is circling out of control. But the lights never lost control, they just went their separate ways.

Cigar shaped ufo along with heavy military air traffic in the area I was on my way to work (in the passenger seat of the car) and was looking west as we were driving past houses and just happened to see for about a couple of seconds in betwwen 2 houses a ufo. This object that i saw looked to be cigar to cylinder shaped and was going towards the northwest and is looked to be faily high in the sky. that fact that it was that high in the sky was what led me to belive it was a ufo because if it had been a plane there would have surely been contrails coming from behind it.

Also of note their were many military jets flying around the area shortly after. Also an hour before the sighting i was listening to wtam 1100 am to the mike trivisanno show and he said along with another caller that he seen a ufo about the same shape earlier that day. During the show there was another caller that was calling from the mansfield area and said that he saw some fighter jets coming towards cleveland form what appeared to be wright patterson airforce base.

Well that is about all of the informtation that but i would also like to include that i do not think that listening to the report of the ufo by the talk show host had caused me to imagine a ufo of my own becasue i have listened to the coast to coast am program for a couple of years and this is the first ufo sighting i have ever had.

Gossamer V-shaped object seen from Ohio Around 11:30pm last night (the 27th, EST) I stepped outside to have a look at the night sky. I first caught sight of the planet Jupiter, rather bright and imposing, shining away in the eastern sky. Several winter constellations were also visible overhead and in the south, shining through a thin layer of haze and broken clouds.

It was a rather chilly evening so I decided to leave my telescope indoors and just do some 'eyeball astronomy'. After a couple minutes I suddenly noticed an object midway up in the east (about 50 degrees altitude) moving south. Its appearance was that of broadly V-shaped gossamer contrail, three full moon diameters wide, without any lights or form of illumination.

I expected the object to begin to disperse and dissipate as I watched, due to its thin and wispy appearance. It did not! The object continued to move south steadily. I lost sight of it after twenty seconds or so when the object moved behind a bank of clouds in the south.

It made no sound the entire time that I had it in view. Being an amateur astronomer for the past twenty years has given me the opportunity to experience a good amount of sky phenomena. I have never seen anything in the night sky that I didn't have an explanation for - until now! I would be very interested in any and all plausible explanations of the object I spotted.

My only explanation - birds flying south for the winter - was quickly discarded when I witnessed the object move behind the clouds.
