While driving on I-80 East, saw something hovering,about 2000 feet, not moving, in front of me. The morning Sun reflected off the ufo.

I watched ufo for 4-5 minutes. When I got to Youngstown, exit 223, the ufo was on my left. I had to look out and up of my driver's side window.
The ufo seemed about the size of a car or big propane cylinder. I did not see any propellers, wings, tail, or jet engines. It did not look like any type of balloon.
UFO was light in color, maybe white or silver. The UFO never moved the whole time I watched it.

Location: Youngstown, NY, USA
Location details: Golf course, at a pond.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

No light seen beforehand, light comes out of nowhere and drops below treeline within a second.

This happened at the same exact place I made an unbelievable report a couple days prior. Once again we were night fishing, then above the tree line on the opposite end of the pond. We see a light just zip down, I searched up falling star, looking for a reasonable explanation. Most of the pictures show a trail, there was no trail. Not sure what it could’ve been, but since it was at exactly the same place we both witnessed some crazy stuff a couple days before. We believe it could’ve been another UFO.

Characteristics: Left a trail

See one craft darting around all directions in the sky. Then something zips over the tree-line literally right in front of us.

We were night fishing, the moon had just come out from the clouds and it got very bright, hardly any stars visible. I looked up for a second, & very very high up I see this bright light just zipping around in all directions doing impossible maneuvers. My buddy & I watch this for ten minutes or so, completely stopped fishing. We kept talking to the thing saying “show us something crazy” over and over, next thing to happen was the craziest part. While we were looking up, this insanely bright golden/yellow trail just absolutely RIPS over the tree-line directly in front of us & looked like it swooped up. It was hard to tell, we both saw it out of the bottom of our eyes since we were looking up, but you couldn’t miss it. My buddy asked me “did you just see that”, & we went absolutely crazy. it was without a doubt the coolest thing i’ve ever experienced in my life, & i’ll never forget it.

circular lights behind a tree, saw for an hour

At 5am a small light like a very bright star but in the tree caught my attention, a tree directly across the street from my home that is wilderness. I wished it wasn’t there because I had things to do, but it demanded attention. At first, I thought it might be a planet or star visible through tree leaves that made it obscured; but no, definitely not that. I went outside and could see intermittent pulsating lights that chased each other as if around the perimeter of a circular object. I moved around to observe it from different angles (it was not Venus or Sirius) A red ball descended and it was frightening, not normal. Thoughts that something might come out of the thick brush concerned me, but I heard nothing. My neighbor was rushing off to work, I tried to get him to come see, but he was in a hurry. From his truck, he looked at it, saw the lights, but he said it was a drone. Who flies a drone at 4am? It was very bright when it flashed, but I couldn't get a p! icture of it. I would estimate a three foot wide section, seemingly more than one section of lights in the tree. Lights traveled in a circle randomly, so pretty they mesmerized, chasing flashes of white. Strange. Several lights came down from it, not something a drone would drop. I took pictures but they are black. I stood out there staring at it for 40 minutes. It started to rain and I went inside. A few minutes later, I went back out but it was not there. Now I wonder if it dropped anything, but it is a thicket over there.

Orb like lights in pretty straight line

Me and my wife were driving north on state route 11 about 10:07pm she was driving and suddenly asked"what are all those lights up there?"we were about 3 to 4 miles from where route 11 northbound merges with 80 eastbound."I replied I don't know" we were traveling about 65 miles per hour. As we got 1 mile or less from the intersection we where right under the lights it seemed,I would guess they were about 2 to 3 thousand feet high,they were white orb like in appearance.I remarked to my wife,"there must be two dozen there gonna get a lot of phone callls on these"referring to the police. They were very clear to see and basically right over the highway. They were in a preety straight line and spread out about 1 to 1.5 miles. As we merged on to 80 eastbound I put my window down and had to look back and up to see the last 5 or 6 lights as we drove away. We couldn't wait for the 11:00 news to come on expecting them to be mentioned but nothing was mentioned anywhere.Highway was not extremely busy but there was other traffic people HAD TO SEE THEM.I wish my wife had pulled over so I could have got pics with my phone and watched longer.

Closest Distance: 500 feet in altitude
Estimated Speed: 25 miles per hour
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Oval orb translucent gray 15 ft in diameter, 500 ft altitude, silent, a shifting triangular pattern interlocking shifting on surface.

I parked my jeep opened the door and before I got out my attention was immediately drawn to what appeared to be a rocket on the horizon in the southwest. No structure was observed at this point, only the flame of the rocket or what appeared to be a flame. What grabbed my attention at this point is that the thrust of the flame was upside down, like it shoud be heading towards the surface of the earth, but it wasn't. It continued in what appeared to be in a upward trajectory towards the atmosphere. What caused me to think this is because the thrust (compared to the flame of a Bic lighter, orange yellow upside down) decreased in size making my mind believe it was going upward and away, but never seemed to be moving in any direction which confused me. After about 3 minutes it demished out of sight and I shut the door of my jeep and began to turn my head away from the whatever it was I just witnessed (I was thinking to myself where would a rocket be launched in that area to justify whatI saw), but just then something caused me to look back. In the same location where the flame had demished and was no longer visible was now a small gray orb. The orb seemed to be moving in my direction and it grew in size. At this point the object had moved from the southwest, on the horizon in a northern direction towards me. About 2 minutes in time it seemed to travel from the horizon to my location and now was observed in between South Ave and Southern Blvd. My location was closer to South Ave but in between Southern Blvd. The object was not exactly overhead but off to my west a about two blocks away. The orb grew in size as it moved at about 25 miles per hour at a altitude of 500 feet. I could see through it, it was gray. The surface was not sharply distinguishable but more like a hazy fog type of surface. At this point a pattern of hundreds of interlocking triangles emerged on the surface. The closest thing I can compare it to is the Epcot center orb in Florida. The patterns shifted every second in a different direction and never repeat the same direction. It was 15 feet in diameter. Silent. No sound. At this point it crossed the end of cook Ave and seemed to be heading nort, in the direction of downtown Youngstown and the Vienna Airforce Base. Just before it crested the top of the trees heading north and out of sight, 5 or 6 sharply intense red leds began flashing in the center of the orb and then I lost sight of it.

I immediately called 911 and reported it, I told them it's heading to the Vienna Airforce Base. It was clear sky's, there was still some light in the sky as the sun was setting. At about 9pm, 30 minutes after my call to 911 I observed a black, unmarked hellocoptor coming from the north, flew over me on Cook Ave with 3 intense surch lights and then flew off.

I saw 9- 12 craft in formation traveling from the ground uo 2500 ft and then disappearing one by one

I was on my way home from shopping and as I turned on to my street, I noticed 5 or six craft orange lighted craft in formation traveling from the ground up. I pulled over to get a better look and realized that there was more like 9-12 of them. The lowest was at about 700 ft and the highest I would say was about 2500 ft. At one point the craft had stopped and then they started to move again.

When they reached the highest elevation (2500 ft) they disappeared one by one til they were all gone.

I believe I saw these in the eastern sky. When I saw them I knew right away, that these lights were special. I never saw anything like it and there was no sound what so ever. When you looked at the lights they appeared to have 3 or four colors. It was absolutely awesome to see.

White light in sky moving quickly away at unnatural speed.

It was only one craft, I wasn’t expecting it. I was walking along heading home from the store and was looking up at the sky at the stars because it was finally a clear night, and I was watching a very bright star in the sky for about five seconds when it suddenly moved very quickly diagonally upwards to the right of my vision and disappeared. The star/sphere was white, it looked about the brightness level of the north star however it dimmed as it moved across the sky, as if it was moving not only upwards but away at a quick speed.

More investigation needs to be done in the Youngstown area and people are wondering why they are here.

I was driving home from a friends home, when I looked ahead of me and saw this very huge ball of light. I knew it wasn't a shooting or falling star because it was too large. I immediately called my mother, who believed me because the two of us had previously seen what we knew to be a UFO. Stars don't move around, zip through the sky and then just suddenly disappear.

On the 23 of this month of Sept., my nephew and his football coach stated excitedly, they had seen a space ship. All of these sightings have taken place here in Youngstown.

Just last week, WFMJ, channel 3(21) of Youngstown, reported that farmers in the area are angry about their farmland being destroyed by crop circles. The host made light of the situation by saying the farmers wanted the culprits or aliens found and charged for the crime.

Well, We were walking in to a store when my girlfriend said look at those balls in the sky,I looked where she had pointed in the sky and there they where! At first I thought they were hot air balloons, but as I watched them they did not move. As the clouds were going bye they sat there not moving.I thought that was strange....So we watched for a while longer,trying to guess what they were.Then the most amazing thing happened,they started to move.Four of them came together to form a sqare,then one left as the three remaining formed a triangle,then the one that left came back and formed a retriangle.The most amazing thing I have ever seen!We watched for over 45 mins.and they never left the sky where we were looking at.Looked like silver shiny balls in the sky.Another lady and her daughter saw them also,I know I believe in ufo's now cause I used every possible thing it could be.Airplanes move,hot air balloons can not sit in midair without moving with the wind,at least not 45 mins.The clouds moved under them for they were very high in the sky.Still tell this story today and am amazed with what we saw! Date I gave you is not sure,If you are interested I could find out closer date because there was a fire at a paint factory near bye,so I could date it better.I would like to know if others have seen this,so I hope you read this and give an explaination!Truly Amazed!

Duration: aprox 8 min.
No of observers: 2

Location: Youngstown, OH, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

A large oval glow hovering over a house was reported in Youngstown on a late April night.

It started at a bonfire in my driveway that ended around 22:30 (10:30 pm). It was a humid April night. I was helping my neighbor carry his chairs back into his garage when he just stopped moving and looked into the sky. I then turned and looked as well. There was 1 of them. It was an oval shape that was very illuminated. It didn't have a distinct amount of lights...the whole thing was glowing. We stood there looking at it for a few minutes before reality struck us. Fear spread through our bodies and we ran into the garage to watch from behind a window. We were both in 7th grade so you can understand our fear. The craft just hovered above a house across the street. Ocassionally it would turn a little bit or lower, but it generally stayed in the same place. When I realized nobody would beleive that we saw this thing, I ran home to grab a camera. I came running back to find my friend still in the garage. And as they knew i had a camera they turned quite rapidly and in a matte! r of seconds it was completely gone. Not even a trace of its existance. I didn't get the picture off in time. That was all.

While heading west on I-80, between Youngstown and Cleveland, we encountered something we can't explain...

While heading east on I-80, between Youngstown and Cleveland, my business partner and I were heading back to Michigan after attending a comic convention. We were...well, making good time and I had looked at the clock on the dashboard and it read 10:22pm. My partner and I were discussing our trip when he said holy... you know... and I looked out the windshield. Above the cross over an over pass some distance back was a bright light with a light green outer ring. We figured it might have been an aircraft or a light on a tower, till it dropped straight down with out an arc, with increasing speed so fast that it looked like someone had taken a picture at night and moved the camera while the film was being exposed, giving it a solid line of light because it fell that fast. Then it did a 90 degree turn like it was a giant log ride and shot out at the horizon. Disappearing from sight. I looked at the clock on the dash after seeing it and it read 11:38 pm. I don't completely believe in this stuff, but after seeing that object fall and speed off, I can't think of anything it could've been. Nothing, that I know of short of a TOW missle, can arc in a 90 degree turn at that rate of decent without tearing itself to pieces. A TOW missle would have had a fire trail, instead of a white light with green outer ring. Then there is the matter of losing our time. Abducted, I don't know and don't think such a thing can or normally occurs, but we lost almost 45 minutes of time. The driver had been checking the time to gauge the trip back throught the whole trip and to keep from getting tickets. So what was it?? And what happened to the 45 minutes??

Long duration event witnessed by law enforcement and covered up by USAF

This is in the database. The database says *unconfirmed* sighting by police departments, but the 911 police radio traffic recorded here:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gLAXWupTcBU

proves that this was a well documented, maybe one of the best, mass sighting event by law enforcement. This event occurred right over and near a USAF base which is manned 24/7 by a military air traffic control tower. To this day the USAF denies seeing anything that the police were chasing that night.

Duration: 5 minutes roughly
No of observers: 2

Location: Youngstown, OH, USA
Location details: Corner of Midlothian and Glenwood Ave. Both identical objects were well below radar.

Shape: Cigar
Color: Bronze
Estimated Size: 80’
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: East
Angle of Elevation: 90
Closest Distance: 200’
Estimated Speed: 60 mph
Characteristics: Lights on object

2 objects were hermetically sealed, silent and traveling around cessna speed on approach.

2 identical objects with amber light on the nose. They were too close together to be helicopters and completely silent. As both approached an intersection I stopped and I shut off my car and observed both uap’s just above the trees. I looked for markings, ports, rivets, color, fins, wings but none of those things were present. No wake or quiver and defied gravity due to no aerodynamic properties. I could have hit them with a slingshot. I made a report to the highway patrol and called Vienna Airforce Base and pleaded with colonel Robertson to get eyes in the sky as they were heading in that general direction.

I used to fly Cessna with my father who was a navigator /pilot in WWII. There would be no reason for experimental aircraft flying over Youngstown, Ohio. I wish I would have gotten another gentlemans information who pulled up frantically in his Chevette and was following them from Shields Rd.

In Retrospect...I definately saw a UFO!

Youngstown, Ohio. Located Northeast of Youngstown near Pennsylvania. (PA is apprx 30 to 40 minutes from where we lived. The Year? Maybe 1955 to 1956.

**************************************************** I was apprx 3 or 4 years old (not yet started school) when I was up early in the morning w/ my mom and dad. Dad was preparing to go to work and it was in the summertime. I recall it being early in the morning (break of dawn) and walking outside w/ dad, giving him and hug, kiss, and waving as he drove off for work. I was in the driveway on my red bike (along w/ my Cocker Spaniel named Pedro). I looked up towards the north and saw a huge black blimp-looking thing moving (from east to west)over our house and moving over the apple/cherry trees that we shared w/ a long distance cousin next door who we called "Cousin Odell". It was moving at a slow pace and as I stared at this huge black thing...it slowed down and hovered over the orchard trees and just stayed there. My dog and I moved closer towards it and Pedro was barking at it when suddenly his tail tucked, ears went back and he ran up on the breezeway and sat down. I was so intriqued by this gigantic baloon and I just stood there in awe! I stared at it for the longest.I then heard a faint humming sound. When it made this humming sound I saw these tiny red lights (like dots) around the belly of this "balloon". And because it hovered so long..and then made this humming noise, I dropped everything and ran into the house to tell my mom to come outside and see this "big gigantic and huge black balloon" She finally adhered as I grabbed her hand and led her outside..only to find that this gigantic balloon was gone. I tried to explain the big baloon to her, etc. etc. That was it! Nothing else. Nor have I seen it again. Whether my mom mentioned it to anyone else or whether other phenomonen was reported...I couldn't tell you...I was very young at the time. Although I looked for it incessantly until I was in my teens and thought nothing of it until one day, I saw a report on TV about UFOs and saw a picture of what this person had seen...and wala! There it was! Exactly the same thing I saw! It was shaped just like a huge gigantic black cigar! It was black (kind of like the goodyear blimp w/out the tail, etc).This object is still vivid in my mind today. I wanted to share this w/ you because looking in retrospect....I definately saw a UFO!
