Duration: About 5 min
No of observers: 1

Location: Sylvania, OH, USA
Location details: Sylvania Metamora rd heading west

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object

Two crafts without noise, floating but would change shape and move so fast and reappear. Looked like the lights was a reflection

Driving home around 1:50 pm I saw two crafts in the sky. They were in the same place in the sky I would typically see airplanes. The shape was different and they almost seemed to float. Then I saw flashing white lights. It was a sunny day with zero clouds. I thought hmm, maybe they are blimps and the light is just a reflection when it moves.

When I pulled into my driveway, I threw it in park and quickly recorded what I saw.

Shape: Disk

Saw UFO floating in air while driving home. My boyfriend and his friend saw it, as well. I saw it from a distance, and it did not move, and when I got to the end of the street, it was still in the same spot. The object was round with lights on the bottom. More lights than an airplane would have. I went back to look and it was gone.

Sylvania Sighting behind McCord Junior High

While looking Southeast, I noticed what appeared to be 2 flashing lights on what I thought may have been a plane. In a matter of about 1 minute the flashing lights, had been approaching me this entire time, but in the course of about 1 minute the lights/ship had travelled what I would have perceived to be about 15 miles.

I'm standing in a Junior High field hoping to catch some of the meteor shower, and this ship flew right over my head at a height of 500-1000' appearing to slow down and hover slightly over my head like it definitely had seen me. It appeared a spinning armor the bottom of the ship emitting faint light or vapor as it swung in my direction as if it was focusing down on me.

My heart was pounding in a way I've never felt. I thought I was going to get swooped up, I kid you not.

After about a 5-10 second hover over me it proceeded to fly toward the Northeast direction and it had the exact same 2 flashing white lights on its departure. The rear was identical to the front in shape, look, and light behavior.

From the time it got close to me, to the time it started to depart it moved at a relatively normal speed, but it was 100% silent. I mean dead silent from what I could tell. I realized I had my phone at the last minute but it appears I managed to get nothing but black sky captured when I attempted to get a quick video.

I about had a heart attack at 34, I can tell you that much for sure. This is not my first UFO sighting but this one was overwhelming. I've never seen one so close. The strange thing is, I had a hard time making out the exterior shape, much beyond squarish. Very weird and not what I was expecting to see tonight. Probably a little better than a couple of shooting stars though. I walked away with my head and face stinging and that lasted about 40 minutes. I was wondering if I received a radiation blast or some sort of a firmware upgrade...

UFO over quarry/fireworks celebration

I saw the UFO during our independence day celebration. It was a orange colored light that seemed to be orbiting some craft. It was very hard to tell how far away the object was.

Wind was blowing east and the object was traveling westward so I know it wasn't wind powered.

It produced no audible noice and was completely silent.

It seemed to linger around for about 3 minutes until traveling out of sight at a fast rate of pace.

The fireworks were taking place over centennial quarry in Sylvania, Ohio. This is where I saw the UFO. This is my second time seeing a UFO over the quarry.

ISS visible, but at 21:31 hrs. PD

Duration: 10 seconds

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

NW Ohio 3 low flying white lights moving together in a triangle formation with no sound at night.

I was laying on the couch in our family room and we just turned off the television and lights for the evening. It was dark in our family room and 3 moving lights caught my eye. I said, "What is that?"

My roommate and I leaned against the window and we could not see it because it was now above our house. She did not see it.

I jumped up and ran to the front porch to see what it was. I stepped out on our front yard and it was now over my neighbor’s house. I watched 3 white lights flying together in triangle moving together with no sound. The 3 white lights had a little flutter but were not blinking. I continued to watch the 3 white lights moving east for about 10 seconds. I ran back in the house to see if I could find a camera or cell phone to record it and I shouted to my roommate to come see it.

By the time I got back to the front yard 15 seconds later the 3 white lights were fading in the distance. My roommate did not see it and only witnessed my reaction to what I saw.

I ran back inside and described it to my roommate and even made a diagram on a note pad. I could not believe what I just saw. I just kept talking about it and grabbed my laptop to find out how do I report what I just saw.

I found this website called the phone number to report what I had just witnessed and finished the call about 10:19pmET. I was told to submit my report online.

To summarize - I saw 3 white lights flying together in a triangle higher than our house and trees; about the height of a 5 story building; not flying as high as a jet; no sound at all; moving west to east; and the lights had a little flutter and were not blinking.

Reported: 2015-05-02 18:36 Pacific
Duration: 8 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Sylvania, AL, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw two white circular objects flying in formantion overhead with excessive speed.

I was writing my book all day and into the night, when I stepped away from the keyboard and decided to have a smoke outside in the backyard. I stretched my back and looked up into the sky. Directly at the zenith overhead, I saw two white pearl-like circular craft flying in formation next to each other. They were not star-like in luminosity, but had an interior blue-white gleam that made them almost transparent.

The two craft were a raised thumb apart in distance from each other and moving very, very fast from north to south. The duration of the sighting lasted for approximately seven to eight seconds before they disappeared over/in the horizon. At arm's length they were pea-sized. I was quite shocked to see this.

I had seen many sats with my large telescope, but nothing ever like this. I estimate that they were between 30 and 40 thousand feet in altitude. There was no noise or contrail at all.

Duration: 45 min.
No of observers: 2

Location: Sylvania, GA, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object

Symetrical horizontal lights fading in and out to the left and right in sequence, then up down and all around!

8PM was first sighting. One bright light, then it faded, another one appeared to the right and it faded, and the last bright light appeared again to the right all in a straight line. I traveled approximately 4 more miles and I again saw just one bright light in a large cotton field. I drove to my house to get my son just 1/4 mile away, we went back to the field, stopped the car and got out, but the light was gone. I pointed in the exact spot where I saw it for the second time, but it wasn't there. We both began looking around to see if it went somewhere else, but I returned to the same location and there it was again. However, when I said there it is again, my son wasn't looking and missed it. I was very upset because I knew that no one would ever believe what I had seen, so my son agreed to sit on the bumper of my car and wait a few minutes. After about 5 minutes I told him we could leave and turned to get in the car when he said there it is! One light appeared again, but this time whatever it was put on a light show! The bright light in the middle appeared, then one by one 4 lights faded in and out to the left, the 4 lights faded in and out to the right in the same sequence, time, and horizontally. Then bright lights appeared at the top, bottom repeating like a "V" shape. And, within seconds it was gone. It was very close to the ground because we did not have to bend our necks to look up, we just looked straight ahead and watched the show. The only thing that I believe in that I can not see is God...it's very hard to convince me otherwise. However, I will never laugh or call anyone stupid again that says they've had an encounter. What my son and I saw was unexplainable. It definately was not an airplane, hot air balloon, weather balloon, flares of any kind...I'm still in shock and really can't forget it.
