Strange objects over Cleveland - Photo's taken by North Olmsted Police department (Oct,2004)

Compare the two photos taken one year apart. (Both sightings were in Ohio.)

We had a severe storm pass over Greene County, Ohio tonight (September 19, 2005). I was outside trying to capture some lightening photos with my digital camera at 10:30pm when I noticed this group of lights passing overhead. Note the smaller light (left side of frame) trailing behind the larger group of lights. Two things were unusual about these lights; (1) I have never known a plane to fly through such severe weather and (2) I could not hear a sound coming from this object, which appeared to be flying just under the cloud cover.
I have included a picture that I zoomed in as tight as possible without creating too much distortion. The tight shot certainly reveals some detail of what appears to be a solid shape. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may be able to better analyze this photograph.
Both pictures are unaltered in any manner other than to zoom the grouping of lights. The camera I used was a Sony DCP-150

The above object was photographed by the Olmsted Falls Police photographer near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport approximately one year ago. (See posting 215 for a link to the series of photos that were taken by the Olmsted Falls Police near the airport on September 26, 2004.)

Thx for the ping, Dave.

I just did a few simple photoshop tests, blocking out the visible light and lightening the remaining darkness...and analyzing the dark areas after having trimmed out the lights. Vy interesting, however inconclusive. There is a lot going on in those photos that the naked eye can't picked (master of the obvious, eh :), there are less powerful lights that are drowned out by the ones that are visible. Might be reflections on a surface or on moisture in the air.

Also, the colors in both photos are basically identical when broken down into groupings.

You said it was lightening when you took your photo, was it raining in the area you photographed or was it dry?

[Las Vegas Dave]

I didn't take the photo, it was taken in Greene County (somewhere near Dayton in Southern Ohio),you'll find more information in the link below;

Its a shame there are no details - height, speed, duration, etcetera.

Thanks LVD.

Pinging **anonymous freeper eyewitness aerial phenomena report:


19:50 4 SEP 2006

TWO FREEPERS in Aztec, NM saw a triangular UFO hanging motionless high in the southern sky.

At first, it was far enough away, that without binoculars, it looked a little like maybe a weather balloon with the fabric hanging down toward the gondola.

But when the binoculars were used, it was very clear that it was a triangular craft--equilateral triangle--dark black structure and large very bright white lights at each of the corners.

If one faced the west, and imagined a clock in the west, the craft would have been at the 10:00 position in the southern sky.

FREEPER 1 guesstimated that the craft could easily have been between Gallup and Albuquerque say somewhat in the neighborhood of I-40.

FREEPER 2 held their arm out at arm's length and estimated that the craft would have taken up about 20% of their thumbnail at that point--it was that distant.

It remained in view for more than 20 minutes and slowly began to evidently travel further to the south toward the end of the 20 minutes until it became too faint to see.

For most of the 20 minutes, it seemed to remain utterly motionless in a reactively clear early evening/dusk sky.

NO particularly significant spiritual, sensory etc. sorts of things were felt or observed. The FREEPERS were actively resisting any idea that the craft would come toward them or take an interest in them.

Another family outside their home on a suburban side street also saw the craft but not with binoculars. They noticed it's stationary status for some time. They speculated that it might be Mars but then were surprised that it disappeared.

End of the FREEPER report.

Thanks for spreading the word LVD - sounds very creditable and apparently not so uncommon in that neck of the woods!

Look very much like the high alt missile tracks we see in So Cal when they launch from Vandenberg...

My daughter is engaged to a young man in Cleveland who must drive 6 hours to see her, and he rushes back at the very last minute possible to get to work. Those pictures are from him trying to get back into town before his boss gigs him for being late. Wait 'till I tell him about all the fuss he is causing!

THANKS FOR THE PING.

I'm somewhat familiar with those two FREEPERS. As I understand it, after tonight's experience they were talking with the 2nd cousin of one of them. And the cousin's mother (deceased several years ago) years before her death had seen a "very large" circular UFO silently go up the river near their home at night. The craft was probably 100-200 feet away at one point in it's silent glide up the river not much above the cliff bordering the river on the South. That craft was reportedly more than 100' in diameter. Their home is probably about 2-4 miles from Aztec.

The mother was a County Judge and a very no-nonsense woman who told it like it was regardless of who was listening and what the listeners thought.

I grew up in the 4 Corners area and cannot say I saw any UFO's all those growing up years. There may have been some strange lights occasionally but none doing anything that forced a UFO label.

On the other hand, around 1957 there was a massive UFO flyover that extended over several hours, if not days. My uncle worked at Smoke's Chevrolet at the time. He saw them and so did the owner. The owner is still alive and still refuses to talk about it, last I heard. There were some reports that they were warned against talking about it. A very close relative of that uncle eventually worked at a highly secret location in Nev where he routinely saw UFO's coming and going in the normal course of his duties.

Then there was the reported crash of a medium sized UFO north of Aztec in I think the '40's. That uncle's son reportedly rode out to look at the site within a week of the crash and it was already thoroughly cleaned up.

About all I have on such goings on locally.

It's the haliburton of contrails with skull and cross bones controlled by the creature from heckle island, come to take our tin foil hats and put us back on the gold standard, all controlled by krazy karl rove and his wacky weather machine.

[ChadGore]

Compare the two photos taken one year apart. (Both sightings were in Ohio.)

You're right! I can see the hidious, the, the OhTheHughMantee! Better makeup on the first one.

[Pro-Bush]

Very interesting. Aztec has been a hotbed for many ufo sighting in my readings and research, most notably, the UFO crash in March 1948 with 14 or 16 ebe's on board, depending on who's telling the story. Thanks for the update!

[Nita Nupress]

Contrail threads on FR. Just like the good ol' days. :)

= = = =

I have 2 problems with that assertion that indicate it's false.

1. This is not about contrails

2. The hostility from the naysayers is not allowed to get quite as shrill and quite as off the wall.

[Quix]

Thanks.

That's the first I've read of that many EBE's onboard the 1948 crash.

[BenLurkin]

It's ours FRiend.

Now -- about loose lips...
