I’m not completely jaded on the subject, by the way. I know a couple people I trust who have seen strange things. One showed me pictures of something she saw zig-zagging over the ocean at night. They were only smears, however, and not much to make much out. Another said she used to go out to this spot at night with someone else near a military base and would see weird flying things, until she started getting harrassed by government-types and stopped. They were both co-workers and not the type to make stuff up.
Myself, I was out looking at the stars with my brother as we sometimes did back then, and he noticed that a star, previously stationary we thought, was now moving, not fast but steadily. Too bright to be a sattelite, I aimed the binoculars and clearly saw a triangular shape taking up the whole viewing angle (binoculars amplify light). Either it was close, or it was big. The star-like light was near one edge. I passed the binos and my brother who described the same thing. It went right overhead, and the silence was unnerving. There wasn’t even any wind. It might have been some secret government thing, but other than that I have no explanation.
This is a few years old, and several of the photos have been moved, (expect to see a lot of red X boxes), but UFO’s were photographed over Cleveland, the photo’s were taken by the Olmsted Falls Police photographer in October 2004, (very near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport), are mostly on page 215, see the below photo and a link to the series of photos.

Thanks for your narrative.
Many FREEPERS have had such experiences . . . most share by FREEPMAIL with Dave or I.
Some share boldly as you, thankfully, did.
