It was late night and my parents had taken a ride in the country in Hardin County on route 68. My parents came back with a story that 
they had spotted a UFO that looked like a weird shape with a bright white light and dust particles coming from it. 

It stayed right with the car. They came back feeling funny as if the ufo stopped time and planted something. I don’t know maybe I am 
exaggerating but I thought about it for a while. 

I was at my dads spending the night and my mom was driving home from work at 8:00 PM and she saw it and all the characteristics 
again and called back, with her cell phone, to my dads house saying it came again.

Event Description:
Made Front Page story "UFO" or what?"

We were putting up Halloween decorations on October 16th, around 7:30 PM, 4 adults and 3 children.

Out of nowhere, the sky lit up and I said, "Look how beautiful the sky is!" As the others looked up I said, "Look,look,look!"....Aproximately six to seven bright
white balls of light appeared in a row at a slant across the big dipper. No sound, no smoke, no movement. They disappeared as quickly as they appeared.

At 8:15 PM, about 50 yards to the left of us, another ball of light appeared. It was an amber color and as we watched it, it changed from one ball to four amber lights, as in a circle.

About 5 minutes later, several feet over to our left, again there were about seven amber lights in a "V" shape, like a geese formation when they fly south. I called our local airport during that time to see if there was anything going on that we should know about and explained what our family saw.

I was told that we are not the only callers on the UFO and they had no activity on their monitors to explain what we might have seen.

On October 17th, a man from Ross County, Ohio had the same sightings that we saw and he video taped it, and it was on Channel 10 News in Columbus, Ohio.

There were a lot of people trying to explain to the public, what we appeared to have seen was entirely something to do with military or something like that. I have lived in this area all of my life and no plane, copter, or blimp fit the lights and formation that we seen that night.

Subject: UFO/ Unexplained Event - Location: Russia, Ohio - Date: September 27, 2003 - Time: 8:45 PM - County Sighting took place: Shelby/Miami Co. - Zip Code: 45363 - Object's Shape: "Flash" - Witnesses: 2 - Number of Objects: 1 - Additional Information: Event was seen on the eastern horizon
Event Description:
Myself and my boyfriend were just leaving town to spend the evening out. We took the main road out of town heading east towards rough 48. We were just past the Foundrys, right at the curve in the road [Russia Versails Rd. and Rangeline Rd].

As we approached the curve in the road, we seen not to far to the right, off the road on the horizon a horrendous light. It was almost like the way a light bulb blows out. It was a huge flash. Not lighting, but from where we seen it, it looked nothing like a bolt of lightning. It was not perfectly round. But pretty close to circular.

My first thought was there was an explosion somewhere. But the light was white. No other color to it. An explosion you would think would have an orange glow to it. Both me and my boyfriend looked at each other with confusion. We sat there explaining to each other what we seen because it just was too weird to believe it was there. But we did both see it.

We waited to report this. Figuring it would be explained on the news within the next couple of days. We heard no reports of the flash of light. We saw no explanation as to what it was. We couldn't really say how far away it was, being that we seen it near the horizon.

Any one else see this or if there is an explanation for it, we would love to hear some answers or similar witnesses to this.  I have never seen anything odd like this before. This is very strange to me.

Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: Cedarville, Ohio - Dates: 1955/1956 and 1960 -
Event Description:
This was on my birthday when I turned four or five, in September around 1955 or 1956.

I heard a very loud noise. I looked up in the sky and saw a UFO hovering over the railroad tracks. I ran to a "bootleg joint" and told them that I saw a flying saucer over the tracks, they all laughed.

I went to my Grandmother's house who I was staying with. She was watching the news and I remember the Newscaster said there was a loud noise and it was coming out of Canada. Then I remembered a helicopter in the back of my Grandmother's house and I ask one of the masked men to give me a ride, they said, "No."

I was a spoiled brat and had a bad temper at the time. That is why I think I can remember this story. The next day, nobody that was in the "bootleg joint" said anything about me saying I saw a flying saucer. To me today, that was strange because that would be something to laugh about the next day.

I also remember the town alarm going off one day. I don't remember how old I was, but me and my Mother were home by ourselves. When the alarm went off, I ran outside like I always do coming from a small town. I looked up in the sky and the whole sky was full of UFO's. I ran back into the house and said, "Hide!" to my Mother. I hid under the front room window and immediately jumped up and opened the door.

A tall "spaceman" with a dark gray suit and helmet with big blue eyes and the eyes were the only thing that I could see of him, except the space suit. His eyes looked like they were smiling at me, I wasn't afraid.

I know these stories are true because they never left me and I am fifty-one now and still remember the stories just like it was yesterday. I think the man in the space suit wanted me to remember him for some reason. By the way, I only live seventeen miles from Wright Patterson Air Force Base, in OHIO.

Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: Kettering, Ohio - County: Montgomery - Zip Code: 45429 - Date: September 9, 2002 - Time: 1:00 AM - Witnesses: 2 -  Number of objects: 1 - Objects Shape: Circle - Object had lights - Additional Information: In a park.
Event Description:
My friend and I were playing around in Lincoln Park. We had sat down on one of the benches and were kind of resting on each other, looking into the sky.

We both saw a small beam of light jump between two clouds and then it disappeared. It was not a plane because it was too small and too high up. There was no other explanation for it besides a UFO. We both saw the exact same thing, at the same time.

Subject: UFO Sighting/Unexplained Event - Location: Roundhead, OH - Date: 2/14/02 - Time: 6:10 PM
County sighting took place: Hardin - Witnesses: 1 - Objects Shape: Sphere - Number of objects: 2
Object had an Aura or Haze around it - Object hovered - Object became transparent - Additional Info: Rt. 235 and 67
Event Description:
I was driving south on Rt. 235, just north of 67. For some reason, I turned to look out of the driver side window. I noticed two bright orange glowing objects hovering in the sky, bigger then any airplanes.

The area is pretty much wide open fields and some trees. The objects were high in the air, but were not moving. The object to the right quickly moved right and left, no more than what seemed like a couple of inches, then disappeared. It didn't go up or down, just disappeared. Then, maybe 3 or 4 seconds later the object on the left disappeared. I finally got stopped but there was nothing left to be seen.

These objects were in clear view. They were like nothing I have ever seen. The glow was bigger than any object in the sky. I could see them clearly, because it was dusk and there was really nothing else in the sky. The event took place for maybe 15 seconds. There was nothing around that could explain what happened except for a UFO
Note from Brad:
 I would really like to know if anyone else witnessed the same event. Thanks, Brad

Reported By:  John E.  -  Hamilton, Ohio. - Date Reported: Thursday, July 29, 1999
Subject: UFO Sighting - Location of sighting: Hamilton, Ohio - Time: 11:00 PM  -  Date: approx 10th Number of objects: 1 - Object had an Aura or Haze around it  -  The object emitted beams of light  -  The object hovered
Description Of the event:
I was walking my dog. There was a low thin cloud deck, the moon was visible as a indistinct haze. Something caught my eye. It was a thin streak in the sky, it did not go away as a meteor trail would. I stood and watched as the streak grew wider, the length remaining the same. The streak now appeared to be a widening slit. The slit continued to widen over approx. 15-10 seconds until it was about one sixth it's length. An orange glow emanated from the opening, being hazy just in the cloud deck, much like a flashlight beam would do in light smoke. No detail was visible in the opening, nothing entered, nothing left. The opening remained unchanging for about ten seconds, then started becoming narrower until it was very thin, then was gone. It appeared to close at the same rate as it opened. The opening was apparently as long as the span of my thumb tip to the tip of my little finger if held away from my body.  The object remained stationary in relation to structures on the ground. The object was about 45-50 degrees above the horizon.
