Ohio 10/18/2015 Blurry Object moving NW to SE not of this world, no light just barely visible. October 18, 2015 I was outside and took note of the number of aircraft I could see in my field of view was unusual. Normally I only see 5-10 flashing beacons from aircraft at any given time, but this night I could count 20-30 and it was a very clear night.

As I watched the sky, I took note of a satellite moving overhead from south east to north west. I was following the movement of the satellite and after watching it for 20 seconds or so, I noticed a blurry object to the left and at a lower altitude appear. At first I thought it was a meteor entering the atmosphere and at any moment I would see a tail streak across the sky.

There was no tail, no streak, and seemed as though it was behind a cloud. For a moment I thought that it could have been a reflection from another object on a layer of cloud cover. However, this was not the case as I had noted that it was a very clear night and the amount of other celestial objects I could see was enormous.

The object was blurry to gray against the sky a! nd had a dim source of light surrounding it. Almost as if it had its own cloud source or as if the sound barrier was broken for the constant duration. However there was no sonic boom associated with what I was seeing.

There was no flashing beacon on it. It occurred to me that it may have been some sort of search light or landing light from another aircraft, but nothing else was near it and again it was very clear with not one cloud in the sky. It was moving in the exact opposite track of the satellite from north west to south east.

It was moving at a very high rate of speed as I could only follow it for about 8 to 10 seconds. I would estimate that the object's altitude was some where in the range of 15,000 to 20,000 ft. The space in which it was contained did not lead me to believe that it was assending or desending, it seemed to maintain its path.

I look up and watch the night sky as often as I can, I am very familiar with aircraft as I served in the USAF for 4 years and spent a considerable amount of time watching the aircraft on the flight line every night I was on duty. This was not an aircraft that I was used to seeing. I repeated to myself over and over as I watched the object "what is that??!!" and then " what the !*$% is that???.

" I was floored because I had never seen anything like it before and it made my hair stand as chills rippled through. It followed a very straight and direct path and was moving faster than anything I have ever witnessed.

Silent, bright sphere, passes over city of Medina I had been awake since 4am. I dressed, made coffee then walked to the sliding glass door to open it. I glanced up to the sky and a very bright, spherical object was in the process of passing overhead.

It was the color of a bright star, heading from south to east. It was amazingly close and zipped out of my sight over the trees. The object took me by surprise, but what gets me is how silent it was.

I had seen a fireball two years ago and this was no fireball. This morning's object was perfectly round and had no tail. This makes the second sighting I've had this year of the same kind of object.

What I found interesting is that with my first reported sighting, someone in Bangor, PA, reported having had seen the same object I had. Bangor is a straight shot east from Medina, Ohio.

Unexplained "star" in Medina, Ohio, suddenly moves, then takes a 90 degree turn, and flies east. This took place between the hours of 9-10pm. Feeling tired, I went to bed at 9pm, leaving my husband to watch television.

My eyes were drawn to the outside, as the flashing of the fireflies was quite striking to see. As it grew darker, the fireflies were more noticeable. I decided to rise from my bed and sit on the floor, resting my arms on the window sill to watch them.

Our window provides an eastern view and for a change, I noticed the night sky was clear and I could see the stars. Not having done this in a while, I looked for constellations. My eyes were drawn to a very bright "star" in the sky, positioned over our yard.

I also noticed a jet flying in from the south with its blinking lights and it was too far up in the sky to hear it. Again, I was drawn to that bright star and wondered if it was a planet. After a while, it started to MOVE.

It was closer to the earth than was the jet, because the jet passed behind it. I thought my imagination had kicked in, or that perhaps it simply was the earth's rotation causing this "movement." I used the window pane to gauge the movement and YES, the "star" WAS moving! It moved in a southern direction then STOPPED.

The "star" took a 90 degree turn away from me and headed east at a steady speed. I watched it until it disappeared, which took very little time. The last time I had seen anything similar to this was in 2013 around 4:45am.

I was driving up Fenn Road to Weymouth Road, on my way to work. The object traveled in a southern direction then turned east. This did not look like a star, but was a glowing orange color and had no flashing lights or sound.
