Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Uneven triangle formation of lights, if they were on a craft, the craft was dark, because I couldn't see it.

Size of Object(s)

I could cover the first formation with my thumb, and the second formation with my hand.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It depends on whether the lights were individual objects or if they were part of something bigger.

Description of Area / Surroundings

We were next to Tano Bistro, and by a bike trail. Loveland is a nice small town with lots of local small businesses that you can walk to.

Full Description & Details

Me and some friends were out on a street corner in Loveland Ohio on a park bench next to Tano Bistro (I used a website with google maps to figure out our exact location, which was Latitude:N 39° 16' 4.893" Longitude:W 84° 15' 30.5551"), when we saw these 3 whitish-orange lights in a triangle formation starting to rise up from the horizon (South/Southeast) going really fast. I got my phone out and started taking video of the lights, when another formation of lights rose up, this time there were five lights, the same color, in a much larger, somewhat uneven triangle pattern (Same direction). At this point people walking down the street, and eating outside at Tano stopped what they were doing to watch it, many getting out their phones as well and recording it. There was at least one child next to me that was really scared. Both sets of lights continued to rise up form the horizon, appearing to rise almost vertically, before vanishing as we watched, while passing overhead. I'm still not sure whether they were 2 separate craft with multiple lights on each, or 8 craft with one light each. I live in the area, and come to this spot all the time, and I've never seen anything like this in my life.

Note: I did see aircraft in the vicinity before and after the event, however they appeared to be civilian, and I am not aware of any that were in the vicinity during the event.

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

One of my friends suggested they could've been parachutes or paper lanterns, but due to their formation me and my other friends weren't convinced.

Witness Background

I am a 16 year old student and aspiring journalist.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

My dad is a pilot, and has seen a UFO before. Although I've always been interested, and participated a debate about them in public speaking class when I was younger. I believe that everything has a rational explanation, and I'm not sure if I buy into UFOs being extraterrestrial.
