Triangle shape, blueish-green lights on the perimeter. Flew over Ohio River and made the water move but no sound. My Two son's (12 & 9) and I were driving home from our local mall last night approx.

around 8:37 p.m. My oldest son, who was sitting in the back seat, says to me, "Mom, there is something strange in the sky.

" I pass it off to be a helicopter or plane, seeing as though we see a good bit of air traffic coming and going from the Pittsburgh airport. We hit a red light getting ready to turn left (northbound towards home), when my second son, who is sitting in the front seat, reports to me he is now seeing a strange set of lights in the sky, my curiosity peaked, and I asked where they were seeing it? He says, "Right in front, right behind the tree line." We live in a valley, so there are a lot of heavy wooded area and hills, we also were about to be turning onto a highway that goes right along the Ohio River.

What I see is a VERY bright light through the tree line, I make a joke and say, that it is probably just a helicopter looking for marijuana plants. I make the left turn onto route 7, and clearly see that this craft is "flying" above the river. In our depressed area, we have trains carrying coal that which the tracks line the river, as well as barges who travel on the river.

We can see W.V. across the river and there are little run down steel plants and canning plants that once were up and running.

I slow down on this highway going only 40 mph in a 55 mph zone watching it, I had noticed that the "bright white light I once saw, is accompanied by dim whitish lights around the front on the craft. We roll the windows down and shut the crappy pop music off that my kids insisted we listened to on the way home, and we hear absolutely nothing, but notice that the water is swaying like a boat had just traveled and disturbed the water. At that point we are shocked and nobody is saying much, we only hear the wind and my car driving down this stretch of empty highway.

It did a drastic turn, something I've never seen a craft of any kind do towards the left, which would be directly over my suv. It is now out of our sight. I roll the windows up.

My oldest son asks me what we seen, and I have absolutely no words to tell. I am only wondering where it went, and if we would see it again. We drive a mile or so down the road, and notice something else in the sky.

This time we knew it was a plane heading to Pittsburgh with the flashing red lights. I am telling the boys, that isn't what we just saw, there was no way in hell that was a plane. The strange silence was soon interrupted by the shreek of my oldest son who was now sitting on the driver's side (still in the back seat) "I see it mom, I see it" he screams, in excitement.

I look to the left, sure enough it was there moving or hovering. This time I could see it better. It was a triangle shape, with the 4-6 smaller dim white lights on the front of the craft including the bigger bright white light on the tip, with blue and greenish lights surrounding the perimeter there were at least 9 separate ones, 3 on each side.

It was dark, but the craft seemed to be a shiny metallic color it wasn't a huge craft, maybe a little bigger than my Honda pilot, just in a perfect triangular shape. It hovered for approx. 40 seconds, and then seemed to get lower.

What is strange about this sight is, how fast it would be higher up into altitude and then drop down, it did this at least 3 times, so quickly. It would be in one place, and seem to move over without traveling. It was significantly lower than the plane at all times.

It continued to move left without actually flying, before it was right above a semi big hill off in a wooden area. What happened next was the big kicker. It seemed to get very low and blend/land into the trees, but I didn't witness any debris or tree limbs flying into the air.

The 3 of us all seen it, watched it land or whatever it was doing and turn the lights out or completely vanished into thin air. I've never experienced something like this, or seen it with my own eyes, and my 2 kids experienced it with me. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with the source of the report, and we found her to be quite sincere, and seemingly quite sober-minded about her sighting.

We suspect that she has recounted the details of her sighting quite accurately. PD.

Mother and two young sons witness a large triangular craft, ringed with green and blue lights. Around 8:40 p.m.

this evening my two son's and I were driving back from the mall, when my oldest son (12) points out something strange in the sky. I pass it off and tell him it is probably just a plane, helicopter or drone. I didn't see it at first.

Roughly a minute and a half later I took see something flying above the Ohio river, I roll the windows down and shut the radio off. There was absolutely no noise, and it appeared to move the water a little bit. We can't take our eyes off of it.

It begins to move in a strange way, towards/above my vehicle in that direction. (Because we live in the Ohio valley, there are many hills and wooded area on the opposite side of the river) we thought we lost sight of the craft About a mile down the road, my younger son (9) says that he sees it again, and we quickly realize that it is a plane ,but it was flying in the same direction or so we assumed(the red flashing lights ext.) We are baffled, because we knew it wasn't a plane we had just saw.

Within seconds,my oldest son who is in the back seat on the drivers side, started screaming I see it! I spotted it and this time I could see its triangle shape, I see its blue/greenish lights around the perimeter of this craft. It is a little lower than it was when we first seen it. What happened next was insane, it either landed in a very heavy wooded area or disappeared into thin air.

We were screaming and just in complete shock. I have seen strange lights before in the sky, but NEVER ANYTHING LIKE THIS. The final total of us seeing it was no more than 4 minutes.

We live I'm Jefferson County, Ohio.

And my 11 year old daughter said."what are those in the sky?" And I looked up and got out of my car to take pictures. There was a line of lights on a very thin object.

there were 2 of them. They were passing right over my house and low. The lights appeared white on one craft and green on the other.

More than a shape, they looked like stars,flashing red, green and white. One was much larger than the other - both moving slowly in a north-east direction. They were not stars - we look almost nightly at the sky and have lived in this house for a total of 25 years.

We are avid star-watchers and have been looking for the past month for Mars which was supposedly going to be near earth last month, but guess this event happened in 2003.

TRIANGULAR OBJECT MOVING AT A STEADY RATE OF SPEED WITH NO LIGHTS, NOISE & COMPLETELY INVISIBLE IT WAS A VERY CALM, CLEAR EVENING. I HAD WALKED OUTSIDE FOR AIR AND I SAW TRIANGULAR SHAPED VAPOR COMING TOWARDS ME AT A SLOW STEADY SPEED. I WATCHED FOR A FEW MINUTES BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STEALTH BOMBER BUT WHEN IT GOT DIRECTLY OVERHEAD I REALIZED I COULD SEE THE STARS RIGHT THRU IT! I RAN INTO THE HOUSE & YELLED FOR MY BOYFRIEND WHO CAME OUTSIDE & WATCHED WITH ME.

THIS OBJECT CONTINUED TRAVELING IN A WESTWARD DIRECTION WITH THE ONLY VISIBLE THING BEING A VAPOR COMING FROM THE REAR. NO SOUND - NO LIGHTS. THIS MADE A BELIEVER OUT OF MY BOYFRIEND! ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.

Full Report Text:

My former neighbor and I were driving to a campsite in a rural area around Steubinville. As we turned onto the dirt road that led to the campground we observed a large saucer shaped craft hovering about 100 ft. from our car.

It made absolutely no sound and sat motionless as we watched it. As we drove away I spotted it flying over a lake at an unbelieveable rate of speed and then it rose to about 100 ft. and vanished.

My neighbors had taken me camping in Steubinville and Mrs. **** and I had been shopping at a local department store. I recall the time because the store closed and we had to leave.

We drove along a very rural road and as soon as we reached the dirt road that the campground was located on we spotted a large object in the field to our right. It was very close to the road. My neighbor stopped the car and we just sat there and watched it.

It made no noise whatsoever and it appeared to be hovering approximately ten feet off of the ground. There were red, blue and white lights blinking around the middle in a sequence that, at that time, I had never seen before (I have since seen laser Christmas lights that resemble them). There was a very bright white light imminating from the center of the bottom that lit the ground beneath it.

I think there may have also been a small light on top but I'm not certain. I also don't recall the color of the object. We watched it for several minutes and eventually decided to leave.

We continued up the road and I happened to look toward the lake to our left and saw it again. It was literally ricocheting around the lake. This craft absolutely defied explanation.

It darted toward the bank at an unimaginable speed and then changed direction and headed toward the other bank. This area was extremely hilly and, to this day, I know of nothing that could negotiate those kinds of turns at that rate of speed. It made a triangle shaped pass across the lake and then rose at an angle to a height of about 50 yards and then just shot off.

I never told very many people about this incident but I've always wondered exactly what it was that we saw.

Orange cylinder flying slowly at low altitude The object was traveling slowly at constant speed, approximately 35 degrees east of north over the south side of the city. It was mid afternoon, clear blue skies, no clouds. It was flying at an altitude of approx.

300-400 feet, and was viewed for several minutes until exiting our field of view. It flew with its long axis in a horizontal orientation, and did not appear to change direction or altitude. The object was cylindrical in shape with hemispherical ends and orange in color.

Around the center third of the object was a rotating frame or cage-like structure, silver in color. The frame made one revolution every 12-16 seconds (est.).

There were no surface details visible on the cylinder, no visible connection between the frame and the cylinder, there were no lights and no sound. The object appeared to measure approximately 75 feet in length, and about 15 feet in diameter. The frame measured between 20-25 feet in diameter.

The frame consisted of a bright silver metallic structure of constant overall diameter, and consisted of horizontal structural members connecting equally space bands or rings. All of the structure appeared to be of the same material and cross-sectional size, which must have been several inches wide (maybe 6-12 inches). Spacing between each horizontal or ring member was 4-5 feet.
