Reported: 2020-07-24 19:44 Pacific
Duration: 00:00:15
No of observers: 1

Location: Harpersfield, OH, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Moving white light 3 miles South of Lake Erie in Northeast Ohio

At about 9:40pm I went outside to walk my dog. I often watch the stars, and am fairly familiar with the night sky. As I headed South, I saw an unfamiliar very bright white “star” under Neptune. It was as bright as Neptune, but not as large, and hovering just above the tree line. I was excited to see a new star and pulled my phone out to open the star app (Sky Guide) I use to identify stars.

As I opened the app, I watched the “star” slowly move closer to me and then gently “float” up and diagonally into the space between Neptune and Saturn. It then moved diagonally rather quickly towards Saturn (Northeast) then up again. It did not move like a floating object. There was a definite flight like intentional pattern to its movement. Although, I’ve never seen an aircraft move in the manner like the object I observed.

The object seemed to turn and change from a bright white to a softer amber glow. I then could make out three dimmer lights in place of the single amber color. Then the amber colors slowly dimmed simultaneously very similarly to how a flame might extinguish.

Since I do like to observe the night sky and identify the objects I see, I opened an app I use to identify aircraft (Flightradar24). There were no aircraft in the area. I’ve seen Chinese lanterns in the sky, but this was not a Chinese lantern. It did not move in a straight line through the sky like a meteor or satellite.

Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Harpersfield, NY, USA

Shape: Teardrop
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

Walking at night on our property to investigate light activity beyond the tree line. We stood still for several minutes looking skyward when we noticed a bright light just above the height of adult maple trees 30-40 foot traveling toward us. As the object grew closer it's light dimmed to the point of being off. We felt that we were being observed, but silent and not visible.

The first time we experienced a similar event, it was around the month of October 2008. We woke up early about 3:00 am or 15:00 hrs. We went for a walk up our street on return a bright beam of light bore down on us, we both looked up into the light in disbelief but not frightened.

Our area has alot of strange activities not reported.

Occurred: 2003-08-10 20:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2013-06-16 07:57 Pacific
Duration: 3-4 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Harpersfield, OH, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

This happened when I was around 18 years old. I was coming home from a friends house between 8 or 9 o'clock down lafever road and I look up in the sky out of my firebird and noticed a weird light way out in the sky. It was pretty far away probably around 50 miles or so. So I kept watching the light and it made some weird movements witch kind freaked me out so I steeped on the gas. I had that car going over 100 miles an hour and I watched the light as I was driving and it started following me. About 300 yards before the stop sign I could actually see the shape of the craft. It was a triangle shape with lights going all around the perimeter. The stop sign is approaching so I had to stop.

When I came to a stop I looked out the side of my window to get a look at the aircraft and I didn't see it but then I noticed it was right above my car just hovering above the tree tops not making a noise. IT WAS HUGE! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I seen this thing up close and know for a fact it was not man made
