Full Description & Details

i was driving along 25-A from Botkins Ohio to Wapakoneta.(traveling from south to north).for thows who dont know,wapakoneta is the birth place of neil armstrong,the first man on the moon.

right as i was entering wapak.i looked out my driver side window.and i saw this object.i had to dunk down alittle,cause the object was in a angle,if you compared it to a clock where 12.00 o'clock was looking forward.it was at 11.00 o'clock and at maybe 60 degrees upward.i think it was pretty close to the ground compared to thows videos on the history channel.hard to say how low.maybe 150 to 250 feet.there wasnt any other object around to campare it to.but i looked up once,thinking ,what is that?looked back at the road for acouple seconds.i then looked up again,looking at it for acouple seconds,really taking it all in,cause it was just siting in one spot,just floating there. i looked back at the road again.i might have stared at it afew more times real quick like.but after 10 seconds or so,it was gone.

i didnt bring it up to any one til afew months later, to a fellow co-worker who lives in the area.and they said that they had seen the same type of object more than once.

just for extra info,........wapakoneta is an hour north of dayton ohio.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

the closest it could be,would be a weather balloon that looked metallic.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

i do believe that there are objects in the sky that cant be explained.does that mean there alien control or human control?some of them yes, some of them no.i was avidly into ufo's.read several books on the topic.including 'project blue book' before i my sighting.i still like to watch tv programs and listen to Coast to Coast on A.M. radio.
