Location: Akron, OH, USA
Location details: From the parking lot of my apartment complex

Shape: Triangle
Color: Transparent/ sky col
Estimated Size: About the size of a 747 flying very low
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: almost directly north of the observers.
Angle of Elevation: 65
Closest Distance: Half a mile
Estimated Speed: 20mph. Moving very slow.
Explanation: Chinese Lanterns - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object

When returning to apartment, saw three glowing lights in a triangle shape. Could not make out color of craft.

My girlfriend and I were returning from dinner. We were approaching our apartment from the rear side. She grabbed my arm, pointed to the sky and said "What the fuck is that". Looking to where she pointed, I saw three lights in the shape of a triangle slowly moving towards the apartment building. The lights were glowing orange as if on fire. As they moved they stayed in perfect formation. We quickly ran through the building to the front, street facing side where we could only see two of the three orange lights, still moving towards our apartment. We entered the apartment building and took the elevator to the second floor. The craft(s) were gone by the time we reached the second floor. I am not sure whether we saw three craft flying in triangular formation or 1 triangular craft with three lights. It was late at night. So, If it was one triangular craft, I could not make out a color. As for my background, I am currently a graduate student at a nearby college.

Location: AKRON, OH, USA
Location details: My house. Back yard with my dog letting her out. Standing admiring stars when I observed object.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Witnessed object moving from left to right in a straight line. Object started dim, became bright, went dim, made weird maneuver, gone.

I was outside with my dog letting her use the restroom. It was a clear night. I was sober. I was admiring the stars. While observing the stars, object entered view and gained my attention. Once observed directly, dim light moving in a straight line from left to right from behind tree branches. I thought it was a satellite based on it moving straight and in a consistent speed. Object then started to light up, becoming brighter and brighter still moving straight from left to right in the sky. Object then started becoming more dim again, dimmer than when it first entered view but was still visible. Object suddenly dipped "down" in the sky. Still very dim but tracable with the naked eye, made a maneuver never observed before, it accelerated at an alarming rate. It moved from its downward to the right dip, directly into an upward to the right turn, shifted suddenly northeast in the sky from my perspective and was out of site. I stood in disbelief of what I witnessed for some time. It wasn't a plane because it cannot perform that manurver and it had no flashing lights that would identify an airliner.

What at first appeared to be a weird cloud moving east turned cigarshaped with lights on side then disappe

Ok....so I was getting out of an uber ride at the end of my driveway. I said thanks for the ride and started up my driveway going west, dead west... I then looked up at the giant maple in our backyard cause it's diseased and going to fall soon, at that point I noticed a weird shaped object, I thought mabey a cloud but it was very long and thin...it was long in an up and down way...like longitudinal....with a very defined shape....not like a cloud which have mostly soft edges..Its a beautiful night tonight , only a few clouds here and there. And because I live in Akron I then assumed that this bizarre shaped cloud was the goodyear blimp because at this time it had moved, it was moving. And then there was several lights in a row along the long part of the object. They didn't appear all of a sudden...they sorta faded into view. At this point I was sure it was the blimp....so I waited to hear the sound of the engines. There was no sound. The object was moving in a east by south east direction. I have no idea of altitude but. It appeared to be about as high as the (few) clouds there was in the sky. So at this point I'm like wtf...I pull out my phone (samsung galaxy note 20 ultra) which has a great low light camera to get a better look. I was able to get it in the screen and observe the object for about 6 seconds. OF COURSE I DIDNT GET A PIC OR VIDEO, but I did see that it definitely was cigar shaped and the lights that I had only seen about 8-10 of now appeared to be more like a lcd ticker display. I mean that it appeared to be a grid of lights...I think they were somewhat strobing....they were all white (about 5000k temp) . So at this point I was totally like 'whoa' there was still no sound then while I was watching it appeared to go behind a cloud...but there was no cloud. The object moved from about a 2 o'clock position to about a 12 o'clock position if I was facing south....lastly while I was observing whateber....I noticed a jet or plane that was much much higher....all I really seen was a blinking red light on that craft going the same direction pretty fast....I didn't hear any sound from that one either. I am a pretty good illustrator/ artist and I've sketched out what I seen, ill try to make an animation If I can. But thats about it....I do belive in angels and demons, that is, beings that exist in a different dimention or whatever. Just thought I'd throw that in. So yeah....CRAZY!!! Thanks

Location details: Looking north northeast 35 degrees above the horizon

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Object was bright white to bluish white. The night was completely clear but the object looked like it had a fog or cloud around it.

Was taking trash out and noticed a bright light in the sky. Looked up and thought it was a helicopter. Did not notice movement at first. Was in the north northeast part of the sky. Slowly moved in a generally west or southwest direction. Went in the house to get people to come and see it, they witnessed it as well but it had moved much further away and wasn’t as visible. The object was generally spherical but you could not focus on details of the object. It looked like a cloud or fog surrounded the object. It was self illuminated but, it didn’t seem to be reflecting light. The color was a bright white almost bluish with a slight purplish or red hue, but faint. Tried to drive to get a better view but never saw it again. The sky was completely clear, no high level clouds and no fog in the area that evening. There was no noise associated with the object. Could not tell if the object was very large and far away or smaller and closer. Was not starlink or space station, moved in the opposite direction of satellites/ISS. Was not a Chinese lantern. SpaceX launched that night but we are too far north to have seen anything associated with the launch.

This morning I was in the kitchen making coffee looking out of my kitchen window I saw three metallic objects that look like birds at first like birds because I know the birds are going south in the winter. However, these were the shiniest birds, no wings, they were glimmering in the sunlight. Hhowever these were metallic football shaped, and the shiniest things in the sky they kept shimmering and reflecting sunlight as I noticed they were moving in tight alignment. As they moved out of the plane of my view they aligned into like a three object triangle and as the object starting getting more distant, and at a certain point it didn't stop, it seemed hesitate and then it shot straight up and into the sky of what little left I could see it was just like a really fast blur. It was moving in a south east direction.

Something turned on our motion detected security camera. At first there is a loud voice that says something that sounds to my husband like, “brime me.” To me, however, it sounds like “prove it.” The recording continued for five minutes. There were no additional sounds that could be made out, however there were two orbs that were seen moving quickly across the camera. They were triangular in shape. At one point, two started to fall near my car, merged into one, and then just disappeared. Also during this time, areas of the video became shadowed and pixelated and appeared to take somewhat of a human form. It looked like what I can only describe as some type of dark matter. We have a chain link fence. We had a tarp hanging on one piece of the fence. The shadow moves behind the tarp and appears to press against it with its hands and face to try and make itself more visible to the camera.

I recorded about 3 minutes of video and it disappeared. I have never seen anything Move this fast or change directions this rapidly. Too far away and too fast to be a drone in my opinion but I guess I could be wrong.

Green UFO making directional changes

I work for a food distributor in Akron Ohio. When I got to my first stop around 6:25AM I got out of my truck and looked out towards the horizon. I noticed a light green light in the sky moving strangely, I observed for about 10 seconds and pulled out my iPhone to record the event. The object was making very sharp maneuvers and flashing bright then getting dim again. This object flew at a rapid speed and changed direction like I have never seen any aircraft do before. After about two and a half minutes of recording it disappeared. You can not see the green color in my video but it reminded me of the color of mint ice cream. Like white mixed with green. There are parts of the video where it is hard to see the craft but if you can zoom in you can follow it for almost the entire video. For a moment it disappears behind a satellite dish but will reappear going the opposite direction shortly.

I saw a light in the sky and I believed it was an alien spacecraft because the light shut off and it disappeared into the sky.

I was driving. I saw a bright light in the sky. I asked my boyfriend if it was a star. He said it was a helicopter. It was an unusual light because it caught my attention. I thought it must have been a new technology. It was dusk out and there were clear skies. We only saw one white light that was very bright and then it seem to have the bright light shut off. The off light was dim and round and blurry because I didn’t have my glasses, I wasn’t able to see the actual shape of the object. It wasn’t a helicopter after all because we didn’t see the spinning wings of a helicopter once the light was off and then I told my boyfriend it was a U.F.O.! He said it wasn’t a U.F.O. because he said that it was supposedly an alien spacecraft. The dim light disappeared into the sky. We were driving downhill on Main Street, in Akron, at the Loyd H. Roland Memorial Park. This light was seen in the sky which it was hovering above the intersection of Main Street and Park Stree! t. My son is twelve years old. He was in the van with us and he also seen the light which we all assumed it was an alien spacecraft.

the gray object flew by really fast

I have no idea who I should get ahold of to help out with my video. On Aug. 17, 2019, at 12:53 pm my friend was outside my house and with his cell phone started taking a video of the sky about 00.07.51 seconds long. He came into the house to look at his video and saw something in the video that he didn't see while filming it. He caught something that flew by so fast it was gone in a blink of an eye. When the counter gets at 0:0:1:08 you have to watch really close to see it pass by. We also put the video on my laptop so we could see it in 360 degree and paused it you can see a bright hole in the sky where it comes from. We have shown a few people the video and there is no one who can explain it and I have no idea what it could be. I think you would really be interested in viewing my video and helping to figure out what it is. Would really appreciate any feedback or help in any way. I know he caught something that we can't explain. It seemed like a smoky object that changed its shape and it was see through.

The crew of an airliner at 34,000' witnesses a metallic sphere streak by their aircraft; reported to FAA ARTCC.

REPORT FROM THE DENVER AIR ROUTE TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTER ("ARTCC"): At 07:50 hrs. (Pacific) on June 30, 2019, NUFORC received a telephone call from an FAA employee at the Denver, Colorado, Air Route Traffic Control Center (“ARTCC”), who reported that an Air Traffic Controller at their Center had received a UFO sighting report from an airliner crew. The aircraft was 16 miles northwest (311 degrees radial) of the “AKO” navigation facility near Akron, CO, at the time of the sighting, which occurred at 08:25 a.m. (Mountain Daylight Time). The airliner was at 34,000 feet, at the time of the sighting, and all crew members in the cockpit saw the object, which they estimated was within 1,000 vertical feet of their aircraft.

Thecrew reported to the FAA Center that the object looked like a “metallic sphere,” and they estimated that it was the “size of the flight deck” of their aircraft.

Cigar Shaped Object, vertically aligned, seen in area of Lockheed Martin

This morning, my husband & I were sitting with our coffee, looking east, from our porch. My husband had briefly mentioned seeing a strange shaped light in the sky on 04.20.19, at approximately 5:30 pm and was describing the situation to me...

He was with a friend when they both saw a cigar shaped object (it was actually situated vertically, not in the horizontal position you would imagine) in the sky that hovered for a few minutes, made a sharp right turn and then disappeared. He was telling me all if this when I saw a similar object in the sky. It was the vertical cigar shaped light he saw. It seemed to be glowing, but we realized it was reflecting the sun rise. It stayed in the same spot, then slowly started to go down in altitude, then disappeared.

The object seemed to be hovering in the area close to the Goodyear Airdock/Lockheed Martin.

Gray blimp-like object seen in daytime sky and photographed.

When witness first noticed the object, it was over I-77, south bound, slowly heading from E - W about a quarter mile from the exit. While driving home from an eye appointment, object first seen it was not a plane, blimp or helicopter and observer felt a little anxiety / excited. Thought it had disappeared until he/she got to next exit where it was behind the trees. When observer stopped at light I was able to take four pictures using an iPhone 7plus. From the freeway the object was approximately at 3 o’clock high. "When I saw the object from the exit ramp it was approximately at 2 o’clock high behind the trees. There were no lights or sound, the color was dull gray. Moving very slow and low. When the light changed I turned left on to the I- 77 overpass then right on to Mull Ave. As I passed where the trees and object were I could not see it anymore, it’s like it just disappeared. I had a clear view once I passed the trees. I should of been able to see it behind or over the trees. There are no airfields in the area. I checked the Goodyear blimp schedule for Oct 26th, there were no blimps flying that day. Temp was 28 degrees, overcast light rain, wind slightly from the North West. (MUFON CMS)

My boyfriend and I were having a bonfire when he noticed a strange object in the sky moving east; it looked as though it was on fire but was too low and moving too slowly to be a shooting star. We watched as it continued east and took a picture; almost immediately after his flash on his camera went off, all the "lights" on the object turned off but we could still see the object and it turned and went west. The object seemed to float slowly across the sky until we could no longer see it.

Large Round / Circle Unidentified spaceship hovering above highway

My husband and I had just left the Akron area and heading East on 76 towards Youngstown OH. Approx about 7 pm. It was a Sunday evening in the late spring early summer time and was clear out and just becoming dusk. It was about 70 degrees out and we had the windows down in the car. From Akron we could see this very bright light off in the distance that was not moving. For a half an hour we watched this light trying to guess what it could be as we travel this route every weekend and had not seen it before. We thought maybe a low star or a new cell phone tower. As we approached the light it was so blinding that it was difficult to look at it directly but we soon realized that it was neither a star or a tower. It was a huge round silver metal looking spacecraft that was hovering right above the tree tops and partially over the highway and off of the left side of the roadway. The craft was about 25 or so feet around and not making any noise. There was no wind or blowing of the trees it was hovering over and no sound whatsoever. There were no animal noises such as birds chirping or otherwise and everything was silent but the air coming in the car windows. Upon driving underneath the craft, at that close of range, I could see no landing gear, no propellers, no engines, no windows, and there were no markings or blinking lights. I could see seams in the metal but that was it. The craft was smooth and very very bright. It was completely lit up all the way around with white light. As we slowed down and said WHAT THE #### while passing underneath it we both got this terrible feeling of something bad and I told my husband to speed up and keep going. It did not move the entire ride just hovered in one place and we witnessed this for at least 40 miles or so. Others on the roadway had to have seen it. You could not have missed it.

We live near the Airport and military base and we have never seen anything like this flying over and we see aircraft daily. Neither myself nor my husband even looked back or in the mirrors to see if it remained in place any longer or not. Traveling at 70 mph on the highway I was not able to get a photo or video because by the time we realized what we were witnessing it was too late and we were traveling under it and away from it. Neither of us have any military background or anything of significance but I am positive others that evening seen it as well. This is the second one I have personally seen now in the last 15 yrs. The other craft I witnessed was hovering above my apartment in Goodyear Heights in Akron OH in 2012 in broad daylight at noon on a weekday. Was not lit up just a round silver craft hovering above the tree tops over the roadway.

20-30 multicolored fast moving orbs seen over Akron, Ohio.

At approx. 21:30 eastern time, I was watching TV. The TV room in my house faces to the west. All of a sudden, I started seeing very bright multicolored lights, at first just one at a time, moving from west to northeast quickly. I mentioned to my wife if she had noticed this? Her comment was it may just be a reflection off our gutter from passing cars down the street.

As the time passed, I kept seeing more and more of these bright, fast moving, multicolored orbs following the same flight path and quickly ran outside for a closer look. Once I got outside, I noticed a steady stream of the orbs, sometimes in groupings of four or five at a time, moving across the sky. Now our weather here in Akron, while cold, was perfect. Crystal clear skies last when I observed this amazing event. Another thing I noticed while i was on the phone with the police was a passing commercial airliner, which was moving in a northwesterly direction over me. I could see and hear the marker lights as well as the engine. I also clearly heard the passing traffic, I live a block away from a main street here in Akron.

As the orbs passed, they were completely silent! and I noticed they were relatively low in the sky. As they traveled through the sky at times they seemed not to far from the top of near by buildings. The last orbs trailed off around 22:15

Shape: Rectangle


Rectangular, almost square, a little smaller than the Goodyear blimp, no lights, gray color

Saw a rectangular (nearly square) object moving about the same speed as a blimp moves (maybe a little faster). I first noticed it while I was driving on 77N (on my left, maybe a mile or less away) by the Copley exit, lost it in the tree line, but then saw it again heading on the same straight path. Lost it again in the tree line (as the highway declines in elevation) before I exited on the Ridgewood/Miller exit.

Red lights just on but and white lights flashing and it moved horizontally and vertically with ease

ok folks i was looking southwesterly at 2215 and there hovering about 3-5 miles away in the sky a few miles up in ther sky was this unidentified craft. It appeared to have three red lights that glowed in a vertical shaft formation and long with these two white lights flashing off and on.

Now i would not of really paid it much attention untill I realized on this clear and quiet night I could not hear one engine! Airplanes fly over the hiosue all the time and I can hear them from miles away long before seeing them.

Then the little feller decided to move laterally then vetically and hovered some more. Then is justy took off i should say slowly went out of view.

I well versed in military, commercial, and private flying craft and this was not one of them. Not even a drone could do what it was doing at that scale.

This was in Portage Lakes, Ohio.

longated cyndrical shape bright red lights all around descending from night sky north east of akron ny at 9:30pm duration 1 min.

When the object was high in the sky it looked like a red ball of light. When the object dropped from the sky and came closer to ground i visibly seen an object that was narrow at the top and got wider at the middle and at the objects base. There were bright red lights from top to bottom all around this object. Im not exactly sure how far away this object was from my backyard but i do know it came straight down from the sky and was in the north east. I looked up what wheather balloons look like and what military craft look like and this object was not like any of that. I was in shock when i seen that this thing was some sort of an actual object and not a shooting star or meteor. This is the first time i have ever witnessed something like this in the night sky descending toward earth.

Rotating light, making quick circles, being followed by a fainter light made a continuous circle for around an hour or two.

While on break at work I noticed a light in the sky. At first glance I thought it might be a spotlight, but quickly noticed it was above the dense clouds, I then noticed that as it made a constant circle it was also rotating. I had two Co workers and a customer check it out with me, none of us could come up with what it could be.

Bright light, very high, took only 7-10 seconds, horizon to horizon, no sound no contrail

09/02/2014 UFO sighting? or strange aircraft Saw a bright light at high altitude moving north west, about heading 350-355 degrees.

The object was very high, and at first I thought it was a satellite. When the object appeared at 80 degrees to my viewing angle, I'm 5'11 1/2", facing about 5-7 degrees compass heading.

As soon as I saw the bright light, it went out; that confusing me for a satellite. I noticed what appeared to be possibly a very faint small green light and very small faint red light very close together, perpendicular to a line heading in the direction of 350-355 degrees. Very faint, very close together.

The strange thing was, NO sound, No contrail, and the light I saw appeared twice as large as the object, as referenced to the closeness of the red and green lights.

It moved SE to NW across the sky in about 7 seconds before I could no longer see any light of the object. Sky clear, unlimited visibility. Just saying.

large, fast triangle craft

I was driving with my wife and we noticed a light in the distance kind of moving swiftly from left to right and then it stood still, and then when it moved back to the left we became extremely supicios.

As we drove closer we noticed it was a triangular shape with 3 lights, not 1. It hoevered over and empty field to out left for what seemed like forever, but im sure it was just a few seconds.

We slowed down to a crawl and watched in awe. It then quickly zipped off at a speed that weve never seen. It wasnt until after that we noticed there was no other cars around, on a pretty busy road. people may not believe me, but i know what i saw.it certainly wasnt anything of this world.

It was a very large glowing orange light comparable to a glowing orange orb. It moved rather slowly. I would say I seen it travel possibly 4 to 5 miles then it just vanished.. Clear one second then gone. It didn't seem that high in the sky either.

Description of possible UFO sighting and the UFO is still present.

Tuesday at about 10:30pm I took my dog out for a walk in the backyard. I was looking up at the stars and I sometimes do. I noticed an airplane descending towards Buffalo, NY. The airplane was brightly flashing and clear, but still high up in the sky to where I could not make out the shape of the plane, but it was obviously a plane due to the speed, straight forward direction it was flying and colors flashing.

Because I was looking at this airplane I noticed another moving object farther to the right. At first I thought it was a huge star because it was very twinkly. I realized it was moving. It appears to be significantly higher up then the airplane. I can’t make out the shape but I would describe it as a fuzzy ball of light or sparkling star…that’s the best I can do, it is really high up.

I stepped further away from the light on in the backyard to get a better view and still clearly see that the object is moving. It appears to hover in a one spot for a few seconds and then dart back and forth quickly, zigzag, move forward then backward and then quickly forward for 15 seconds and then zing zag again and dart around. It does not resemble the movement of any airplane I’ve ever seen, does not look like a helicopter or any air craft that I’m familiar with. I called somebody out of the house to take a look. They watched with me for almost a full minute and thought it was military night training for some type of aircraft. I continued watching for 15 minutes and brought the dog inside.

I went back out and found the object after looking for about 10-15 seconds. It continues to hover for a few seconds and then dart around. It reminds me of floating, and is just all together odd looking. I have no idea what it is, but thought I should report it. It’s really far up there and very easy to miss unless you’re staring at the sky which I was. I don’t have a telescope, I don’t know where my camcorder is and my camera batters are dead, so I apologize. I’m sure it’s still going now! There is only one object. I looked around that part of the sky and couldn’t find any more. It’s a white color/light. I have never seen a ufo before, reported one or anything like that. I have zero experience with this. Thanks.

Fire ball, then triangle of 3, then several covering sky and spreading as they headed W or WNW.

Heading north bound on RT8 between the interchange and Perkins exit, I noticed what I first thought to be a news chopper or LifeFlight landing or flying in the western sky. This gives you an idea of how bright and close this was as I was only a mile at the most from the hospital.

When I looked again, I noticed that it was glowing orange and yellow kind of like a large fire ball, I was actually amazed when I saw this as an option, as this is how I've been describing it.

I looked again and noticed that there were now 3 in a triangle formation, seemingly hovering. I grabbed my phone and my friend did the same, as we looked up again, they're were now 8, 9,10 a growing number, reaching somewhere between 10 and 20 and no longer seemed to be in formation, but spreading out as they headed west and went out of sight.

I was wondering if this could have been a meteor shower? i don't know what else could explain this??

Some something that was not explainable.

11pm or so we were driving home from Canton on 77 North. When we crossed to Route 8 we saw some odd bright orange lights in the sky. Almost directly over head. After the first 5 or so that we noticed we decided to pull over so we did not get into an accident. We stopped on Perkins street to get out and watch the "show". the came in groups of 5-10. all going the same direction at the same speed. We were under them at this point. We would think it was over but then another wave would go over head. My husband and I thought maybe wedding balloons luminaries but no lights were flickering and they were not floating. these lights were steady moving pretty fast... not meandering like a balloon in the wind---there was not any wind that night. We could see other people "rubbernecking", 1 other guy stopped and we all watcehd together. it was really amazing and scary at the same time.

Three fireball-like objects crossed the sky from east to west in succession.

We were sitting on the porch when we noticed a fireball-like object coming from the east. It took several minutes to pass by, then seemed to ascend, and then faded out. Then, it faded back on, and out again. It was about a minute later when another fireball came out of the south-east, and faded out again in the west. I woke my neighbor up to see the last bit of the second fireball, and it wasn't long until we saw a third once again coming from the south-east. It took a few minutes to pass, and then faded out. All three UFO's seemed to change speed, but were moving very slowly. They were all orange in appearance and seemed to flicker. They made no sound and had no tail whatsoever.

Bright fire in the sky, hovered and split off into four.

My husband and I were driving and I noticed what appeared to be a orange/reddish fire in the sky.

At first I thought it was a airplane on fire then I thought it was the top of a cell tower. It got bigger then split off into four fireballs. It appeared to hover then turn around.

We saw a red light then disappear on the distant horizon.

We put our windows down to see if we could hear anything like a helicopter, it was silent.

Three metallic orbs scramble in the wake of a jet in the northern sky seen from Ohio.

A silver orb came along the same path as the jet abou a minute later. It went straight fron west to east in the northern sky. Then It went straight up winking in and out of sight.

Then it was joined by two other orbs,both silver coming from east to west. They remained close together and appeared to scramble.

I called my sister, she saw one orb. I went outside to get a better look. They were gone.

Strange Lights Seen in Ohio Hang Above for Two Nights

The first strange light was viewed in the 308 degree North West from 40 degree 55'58" N, 81 degrees 27'55" W.

It appeared to move not only up and down but also in a circular pattern twice over the 30 minute period. It mainly "quivered" from its original spot in between two nearby stars, which, to the other witness and I, provided a point of reference to verify that it was in fact moving. It appeared to have a halo of incredible darkness around it that sometimes restricted how much light we could see from our viewpoint. It also appeared to be spinning on an axis at a perfect 90 degree angle, which revealed "pillars" of light (for lack of a better descriptor) that emanated outward every 45 degrees around the edges of the base sphere of light that seemed to be constant.

The second strange light was seen in nearly the exact opposite direction of the previous light, but it was lower in the sky and seemed closer to us. This light appeared very much like the first one but was much more active. It moved in a pattern that resembled the symbol for infinity for a few seconds, then would slowly creep back towards its original position, then move again, slightly yet definitively and quickly. This second light even made a zig-zag pattern to the left and right of its original position relative to the nearby stars. It too even showed a pinhole-effect (restriction of light) which seemed to be caused by a "ring" of darkness around it.

Both of the lights also had a constant "flickering" effect to them that seemed like it was inconsistent, and may have been a result of the light's spinning, as when the pinhole effect would take place the light became much smaller and perfectly spherical. These were the two brightest things in the sky besides Jupiter at this point of the night, and your eye was drawn to it. They moved fluidly and unlike anything I've ever seen, almost as if someone had an incredibly powerful laser pointer and was trying to hold it steady, but the light came down on us and not from the ground up.

Like I said we were all very far away from it, and when we saw planes fly near them from our point of view they seemed to be possibly as far as in orbit around our planet, and possibly as close as 50,000 feet up.

Both of the lights were viewed extensively and this was the second night in a row I have seen them both in very similar positions in the sky if not the same position. I downloaded an app on my phone that shows all of the stars in the known universe by pointing at them in the sky and both of these objects did not register with the app as anything known to us in the sky. This includes planets, constellations, galaxies, and even satellites (there are even Russian craft).

I have also been recruiting more witnesses since yesterday and tonight three more of my friends verified that they too were seeing the same event of these incredibly strange lights.

quit, triangular shaped but elongated. Lights on three corners. Huge!

My son and I first saw this same craft just over a year ago and I saw it alone last night at approx 11pm. We first saw it in early 2010 outside Akron, Ohio driving south on rt 21. It was actualling coming from my right (west) from Medina county...very slowly and did not realiza how huge it was till it was directly over my car. I opened my sun roof and I think it was almost as big as a football field. It was low and had lights on three corners like a triangle. It was totally silent. I pulled off on the side of the road to take a photo with my cell phone and it was gone. last night i saw it again almost in the exact spot?????? Last night it was moving slow as well plus i had trees on both sides of me so couldnt see it for long. Does the government even acknowledge these? I didnt report it last time but this time feel compelled to...something is going on??? Thanks

Green Fireball SOUND

April 14 the United States witness on media television a green fireball that passed through several states. Many scientists, astronomers, government officials and government agencies have labeled it as a meteorite.

I don’t believe it was as I believe that if something were to be seen by many as evidence, many still would not believe as the expression goes, even if it were to bite them on their rear ends.

There is a video taken from the police dashboard of the sighting. The strange thing that I wanted to report was that during the viewing of the dash board video there is silence as it was a quiet street that the officer was parked. However, if you turn your theater home speakers up and turn up the bass something strange happens. You hear this heavy strong engine bursting sound going off and on as if something is cruising through space.

As the night turns to day you see the green "round" fire ball appear and then the sound goes quiet until you hear an explosion and the object darts off into the horizon with no trails. The strange part is that upon turning the sound up the volume gets caught or stuck and if you pause the film you will continue to hear it unless you close the file and re-open.

Final note is that as the object darts of or at the end of the footage you will hear the police radio pick up something. I believe it will be in the best interest of sound technicians to analyze this film footage.

Shape shifting worm like ufo

This object flew into view behind my house in NE Ohio on Sept. 9 2009 while I was sitting out back at around 8:30 to 9 pm. From the ground with the naked eye I thought it was the lights of an airplane, but it stopped and stood still in one spot for at least a half hour. When I went back in the house after taking the photos, it was still hovering so I don't know exactly how long it was there. After about 10 minutes I grabbed my Fuij digital camera and took a series of 8 photos a few seconds apart. I could not make out any shapes, only flickering lights, with the naked eye and the screen on the camera. It wasn't until I zoomed in on the object in photoshop that I could see the shapes of the object. The UFO was changing shapes as I took the photos. I would have taken more photos if I knew that this was what I would find when I zoomed in on it. I think that the colorization of the UFO is very similar to the those in some of the recent Kumburgaz UFO Videos. I hav! e the original unzoomed photos, they are about 1 mb each, taken at about 3 megapixel resolution. Unfortunately my camera was not set at full resolution or the photos would have been much better.

This thing I thought was a star is not it moves left to right and gains light intensity then goes dark. I went in my car and it seemed to follow. I am not drunk, crazy or high this thing is still there seen it now 2 nights and have been in this spot for 11 years and on my computer. So, I know it is not a star cause it moves and it is pretty low like maybe 30k feet up. Just and FYI..

I was sitting on my back porch and I saw a circular object flash through the sky. It was moving from East to West. The object was slightly smaller in size than the moon appears in the sky. Not sure what it could have been but it gave me goose bumps and kind of freaked me out.

I have seen many shooting stars in my life and this wasn't one of them.

I was walking through the local university campus Sunday the 16th of September. I was the only person walking on the commons area at the time 5:05p.m. Bright day with some white clouds. Just by chance looking at the bright sky, almost directly overhead , saw six bright seemingly transparent lights very high moving slowly toward the west in a slow manner. As I was walking almost straight up I recounted objects but now tere were five--for sure there were six before--they were in a loose formation ---not very close to each other. As yet, this day heard of no media reports of these. Six almost transparent bright objects moving due west.

moving bright light suddenly changed color from bright yellow-white to orange, then red, then dark red and disappeared

Watched (for about 2-3 minutes) a bright yellow-white star-like object moving in the dark, starry skies - horizontally (as if controlled by intelligent beings). No sound, not blinking. Was as bright as a space station, but moved slower than a space station. Then the color of the light of the object began to change from yellowish-white to orange, then red, than dark red, then disappeared as if the light was turned off (or in went to another dimension?)

Bright white to reddish orange in the sky looked like a shooting star, until it stopped in mid air.

While I was driving to work I noticed what appeared to be a shooting star. A stream of light was trailing behind as normal with shooting stars. I then noticed it stopped in midair and hovered for about two seconds, then the object took a sudden left turn and continued to hover statinary. Object eventually went out of sight. The colorazation was a white to red orange hugh. I have worked around airplanes for many years and have never seen any aircraft act like that. I hope Im not the only one who saw this very amazing! Also looked like it had a red beacon but did not blink.

sightings in akron ohio multi colored and shaped object

My friend was awakened by an extremely bright light shining in her bedroom she looked out the window and saw this object in the sky various colors red, green,orange. It was staying in the same spot hovering when it did move it went very fast horizontally and vertical. Also the shape would change from saucer to round to triangle at one point it looked like a circle with holes in it almost like a smile face. It just was very odd almost like a lazer light show. She did get it on video and called a couple freinds to see it too, I saw the tape and I cant explain it. A few days later alot of people have seen simalar things it was on the news, and the police dept took pics, the only explaination was a military manufacturer was testing a new aircraft around that time period so that could be it some sort of new top secret thing whatever it was it was nothing we have ever seen before.

We saw 2 bright stars that were stationary and started moving (keeping the same distance apart) and disappeared after 15-20 seconds.

Somewhere around 10:00-10:30 p.m. on 8/27/03, my friend and I went outside on the deck of our house to see Mars since that was the best night to see it (it was supposed to be the brightest it had been in 60,000 years). While trying to find Mars, we both noticed 2 very bright stars (we didn't mention them to each other, but kept trying to locate Mars). We located Mars, and then one of us mentioned the 2 bright stars we had seen. We both found the 2 bright stars again and looked at them for a few seconds (had to look straight up with our necks craned) and then they both started moving. They went up into the sky (you could tell they were going up - not just fading) and, then instead of going up (vertically), they started going "sideways" (horizontally) in the same direction (toward the south, I think) and then just disappeared after about 15-20 seconds. They both moved while keeping the same distance apart the whole time. We stayed outside for a few minutes afterwards, but didn't see anything else move, so we came inside. These 2 objects looked just like big, bright stars. They were too high to be airplanes, they made no sounds, and they nothing was flashing.

On August 3 me four friends witnessed a white oval shaped object that at first i thought was a star, but then it appeared to be going straight up and then it just went out there was no noise or other lights on it.Thats what really got my attention then i told the others to look at it. Ive never witnessed any thing like this and i was on an air craft carrier for three years and have not seen any of our planes do that.We were all faceing to the north off of route 8 north. There were three men and one woman that seen it.Two of us work in the construction business, one in a factory, and the other does billing for a company.

Last night in my sisters back yard I video tape a large yellow/ white looking star, I have seen this star many times before, We have many hours of video on these "stars" or " lights " we have watched them for 2 months.. last night was the second time i've tried using the camcorder. As i focused in on the yellow light i could see what looked like two seprate lights, then i was able to see some kind of image, it was dark in color, when we viewed the tape it looked as though it was a large object, could not tell what the shape was, but we counted 3 other lights on this " object " the two lights look like they could be 2 windows with the bright light shining through.. i went outside to get more footage of this object, but the light turned into a ball, or round object, it looked like it had wire wrapped around it, i could see the image i had seen earlier, i know this was the same object i taped a few minutes before, becuase it was in the same area, it just moved up higher in the sky..

we also viewed 6 triangle formations in differnt parts of the sky,

round orbs in the middle of the day

Was walking back into my building from taking trash out and was standing in the middle of a large empty parking lot and stopped for a min. to stretch my leggs and enjoy the warm summer afternoon. As i stood there looking straight up in the sky something strange caught my eye. Thru the slight haze, a small whiteish looking object of some kind caught my eye. At first i thought it might be some kind of gull that one often sees around a land fills. as i strained to identify the object i noticed several more, flying in circles around the first. The more intensely i stared, the more orbs i noticed. The harder i tryed to identify what they were the more i counted. the origional one flew in a straight line with the others circleing around the first. It almost appeared as though they were"playing". i looked away on several occasions and looked back to see if i was just imagining this and i was able to located the group of "orbs" each time. to my utter amazement I continued to watch for several mins. until my neck began to ache from looking straight up. I looked away a last time and was never able to locate them again. I have no idea what they were. I know the were not birds, ballons or planes. They appeared to be round, dull (not shiney or reflective) metalic looking objects that were flying under the control of someone or something. Due to the elevation and haze i cannot tell you how big or small they were. The sighting last only a couple of mins. but the memory will last forever.

From the night sky 4 bright twinkling colored balls appeared, hovering over our heads then moving to the sky to a large ball of light.

About 10:00 pm, my husband and I came home and parked our car in the garage. I was ahead of my husband walking toward our house when I saw a small ball of bright twinkling colored lights come from over our shed. It was bouncing back and forth. I called out to my husband to hurry, when he came out of the garage he saw it to. Then 3 more balls of bright twinkling colored lights came from over our shed bouching around and hovering over our heads. They were larger than the first. It was as if they were looking down at us. They appeared to get about 8 ft from us. After a few minutes they floated up to the sky, where we saw a large round saucer. It was also very bright and had many colored sparkling lights on it. The 4 balls of light entered the large ball. It hovered for about 5 minutes and then moved away toward the SE

Looking at sky before entering work building. Observed orange fireball. Object was observed while standing in parking lot. Clear sky, no clouds.

Observed, one orange fireball, with a white outer glow, travelling East to West over Akron. Accompanying this round fireball, was a long white tail that was emitting sparks, like a fourth of July sparkler, and dropping dark unknown debris. It was observed to be at a very low altitude. I observed this object for approximately one and one half minutes, before it just disappeared before my eyes. It left no trace of it's presence behind. I am quite sure of the date, as my son's birthday was to be the next day, November 12th. I am also sure of the time as I am scheduled to work at 8:oo P.M. I looked at my watch, just prior to spotting the object.

There were fireworks going off downtown due to the Fourth of July celebration. I was on a roof 3 stories high. On the opposite side of the sky from the fireworks we seen multiple shooting stars. The odd thing is that the shooting stars were changing colors as the hit the atmosphere. Blue, red, purple, etc. Then that's when I seen the spacecraft. I knew right away because how fast it was and how bright it was.. It was bright like the sun, but not blinding. It looked like a cartoon. It was yellow like the sponge Bob square pants cartoon. That's how I knew it was out of this world.

Also, it wasn't oval, disk, saucer, cigar.. Nothing of the norm I hear about UFO.. It was a spider shaped craft.. It had legs like a spider. The spider feature was phenomenal to me. Me and my friend looked at each other and confirmed we seen a cartoon spider flying across the sky. I will never forget. It is as good as it gets for a belief that something is out there that isn't human

1 light split into 3,hovered, then flew away

Saw a bright light remaining still above the horizon while I was looking out my bedroom window. It caught my attention because it was larger and brighter than a normal airplane light. I figured the plane was flying with its landing gear on. Then the one light became 3 distinct lights. One flew away to the left and at the same time one flew away to the right. Seconds after that the center light flew over our house. My bedroom window looks over the Cuyahoga Valley towards Cuyahoga Falls. Not sure what the heck it was, but it was anything I'd ever seen before.

Reported: 2017-12-16 22:47 Pacific
Duration: Unknown
No of observers: 2

Location: Akron, IA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Missing Time

I may have had a close encounter of the 3rd time in 1983 that I did not remember until a specific event happened that triggered the memory. At that time I was 13 years old the other person who may have witnessed this was by great-grandmother who was suffering from severe dementia.

My mother and I were caring for my Great-Grandmother at her home in the countryside. One evening she began telling us that little men were looking in her window at her and that they were walking on her roof. We didn't think anything of it other than her mind was playing tricks on her.

She died peacfully, later that year, from natural causes and we eventually moved to another state. Years later, either 86 or perhaps 87, I saw a book on UFO's. I picked it up and as I was thumbing through it I saw an artists rendition of a what is commonly refered to as a "Grey". I was immeditaly flooded with terror and I flashed back to possibly one or possibly two events that happened to me in Iowa on my Great-Grandmothers farm. Both occurences happened to me when I was home alone and early in the evening and when I was asleep.

I say possibly two events because I "feel" like there was at least two incidents. I "know" there was 1.

I woke to find at least 2 greys looking at me through my bedroom window. That window looked out over my Great-Grandmothers roof, her room being an add on to previous construction. They lifted the window and walked around the bed to myside which was opposite the window but closest the door. I remember I was trying to yell but I could only croak and groan like my brain no longer understood language. I was in a waking sleep state. One of them stayed at the foot of the bed and the other came over to stand beside me and the memory of THEM suddenly ends.

I clearly remeber two nights when I woke from nightmares I could not remember with my mothers headlights shining into my room when she topped the hill, returning fron town with my Great-Grandmother.

It could not have been late because of my grandmothers condition and I think it was fall because it was pitch black outside and I dont recall the chill of spring.

To this day I feel like this actually happened and was not a simple nightmare. What convinces me is how vivid and sudden the recollection came when I saw the picture of the grey.

On a side note there was a movie with Mel Gibson several years ago that happened to be about ET's in Iowa that I watched and experienced great primal fear from.

I am a retired Sergeant from the US Army and was a professional bounty hunter for years, and this memory still causes me to feel uneasy.

I was moved to write because I read a recent article about Navy Jets chasing a UFO and the Pentagon's recent program to investigate.

Do not post my email address publicly.

Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

I think I saw either an alien transport or God doing something wonderful.

Two of my friends and I were waiting for another to get home and were in our car. I happened to be watching the full moon and mentioned how beautiful it was along with the night, when I saw what appeared to be a glass cylinder comming from behind the moon and was only visible because of it. As the moon shone down and it just appeared to wisp upon whatever invisible material the cylinder was made of.It looked like glass but we know thats impossible, so it would be as a molecular structure that I knew nothing of. We went searching for the end of it as it seemed to touch the earth.

We dorve a little way,maybe 1/8 of a mile and it seemed to end in the woods.We were in a semi-country neighborhood so we just couldnt go trapesing in the trees and leave our vehicle and it was fascinating.

As we tried to find a closer entrance to the woods , it started to fill with what appeared to be smoke,and the amazing thing was the steam never left the confines of the cylinder,even though it was invisible except for the steam it held. The steam began rising and as we got to a better viewing area the steam turned darker like smoke and the cy;inder kept it's three dimensional shape thill the smoke became totally black and the cylinder started to rise simultaneously it became more two demensional and looked like a telephone pole in sillouette and then became like a solid object and seemed to pass in front of the moon,rise up further,then cross the moon and move out of sight.

We all forgot it till years later and my one buddy has passed away and he had finally remembered it.My other buddy is still around, we are just kids around 52 and 48. We always wanted to share it but for some strange reason we let it go.I have often wanted to call NASA and see if others may have saw it.I know it was not of this Earth. It could have been a soul being lifted to Heaven or an Angel transporting. It could have been a molecular transference.(beam me up Scotty )lol. Seriously, this has always amazed me and I saw the show and had to share this.

Giant Silver Ball Hanging Over Akron In the Late 1960's

In 1969 or 1970 when I was a little girl I saw a UFO. I lived on the North Hill in Akron, Ohio. One summer night, I believe late in the summer there was a giant silver ball in the sky that just hung in the sky for about 3-4 hours in the middle of the day. It was hanging in the western sky. The whole neighborhood saw it, in fact I think they may have even talked about it on the news. There was a Goodyear Blimp Hangar in Akron so the first thing everyone thought was that it could have been a new weird shaped Blimp, but they said it wasn’t the blimp. It was just a great big silver ball and it didn’t move. The adults in the neighborhood did not seem to be afraid of it, so I wasn’t scared but I have always wondered what that dang thing was.

Aerial light makes turns not possible for aircraft.

While walking home from a friends house in suburban Akron, I saw what appeared to be an aircraft light in the sky heading west. It was a single point of light with no distinguishable features.

What made the event notable is that it made a sharp 90 degree turn to the south and then a second or two later another 90 degree turn to the east.

There was no slowdown or gradual turn, it was an immediate and sharp change in direction unlike any aircraft I'd ever seen.

Disk in the City

I was 8 yers old and myself and some friends were playing in the area of East Crosier street in Akron. We came around a line of high hedges that lined the street across from my house. On the other side of the hedges was a open field area. Not a huge area but large enough to play ball. Thats what we were going to do. As we came around the corner of the hedge we all saw a silver disk approx 60 feet across just hoovering about 10 feet off the ground. It was very close to a house on the other side of the clearing. There was no sounds, no lights, it was bright day light and the sun was out. It just hoovered and would spin very slowly. We all looked at each other and said Wow! Then suddenly it thrust straight upward so fast it was like it vanished. A few seconds later, as we all were looking up into the sky, one of my friends pointed and yelled, There! There it is! As I again saw the craft. It was flying horizonal across the sky at about 2000 feet and there was a aircraft near it at one point. I remember the sun light shinning off the plane but not the disk. I can see it today as if it just happened. Because of obvious reasons I never told anyone about this until recent years. In fact as I was visiting my older brother in North Carolina. I brought this up and took a deep breath as I awaited my brother to begin to laugh. But he said" Ya I saw it too! Not that day but another night with some of his friends. He is 4 years older than me. Same kinda craft but it was flying very close to the water tower up on the top of the hill. There was a school there also. I think it was Hoban. There is no person on this planet that can convince me that Aliens do not exsist. Its a fact they are here!

We came upon a corner lot that was empty and as we came up on it there was a silver disk hovering 10 feet off the ground. We all looked at each other and it vanished. Within a few seconds we saw it way up in the sky reflecting off the sun. This was rite in the heart of houses and across the street from my house. I can still see it in my mind today as if it just happened.

Akron Ohio, 1956, Bright object similar to flying wing. 10 pm. See full description.

I was walking home from a movie one evening. I had just passed the Rubber Bowl on George Washington Blvd, in south east Akron, when the sky behind me lit-up. I thought someone had turned on the lights in the stadium, so I turned around to look.

Out of the night sky(from the north) came a bright object. It was in a shallow dive. At that moment it seemed to have slightly elongated "wing tips" and a very bright - whitish glow. It was silent, but I could definitely feel its presents in the sky above me. It slowed as it passed almost directly over head.(Perhaps 2,000 feet above me.) Then it picked up speed and climbed away at about a 45 degree - upward angle, going south. It was gone in less than half a minute and the sky became black again.

Estimated entry speed was + 600 mph. Over head speed was about 100 mph. And estimated exit speed accelerated from 100 mph to well over 1,000 mph before it was out of sight. Overall estimated distance that the object appeared visible was: Approach equals 3 miles. Over head about 1 mile. Departure probably 20 miles, before going totally out of sight.

I have seen meteors, artillery shells, tracer bullets, and all kinds of aircraft flying at night: And there has been nothing that I've ever seen that behaved like this object. Once over head, I could see that it was slightly curved all across the leading edge (from tip - to tip), and had two smaller curves meeting in the center, at the trailing edge. It had no distinguishable fuselage in the center. A guess at the size would be 100 feet tip to tip and 30 feet leading edge to trailing edge. It could have been 8 feet thick in the center area, but I only got a glimpse at that, as it was coming toward me and going away.

There was a lot of very bright light nearest the object. The light was longer and brighter span-wise. It was smooth, with no exterior features, lights or markings. I was not close enough to determine if it was made out of metal, ceramic or other substance, but its surface did have a bright white glow about it.

That's all I can tell you.
