Appearance / Description of Object(s)

If you looked closely at the tale, you'd see different colors of blues to bright yellows. Near the end of the tail, were crystal blue hues lit with a periwinkle like color. The end of the tail was dark as you looked at it. But as for the main portion, the craft appeared to be a glowing-diamond like rock outlined in small flames of yellow. It was shaped in a kite like figure, from our view, we saw the outline of a diamond kite. From the east to west view, or the up and down part of the kite...was long and narrow . The side corners were skinny, if anything. The tail looked as if it zigzagged, but it might of been because it was traveling so fast into raw twilight.

Size of Object(s)

I don't know. It traveled too fast.

Description of Area / Surroundings

We were on the belchaony (sp) upon our house. First off, our house is seperated from the city and other areas. Surrounding the house, lays a corn field and then a vast amount of tree in the distance. There was barely any light or any houses lit up down the street. Anyway, our street is in the country side of our city, so it's far and rather abandoned. Our belchaony is about 30-50 feet in the air from the ground. In Ohio, the ground is gradually flat with a few hills here and there. But there was nothing but plowed fields for miles to come. It was dark and quiet at that time, and I remember goosebumps upon our back.

Full Description & Details

As it's a hobbie, I enjoy looking at the stars and finding constellations. As it was abot 9:00 PM, May 24, the Corvus constellation was visible. It's right ascension lasts about 12 hours and it's about 60 to -90 degrees latitude. The Corvus consists of about four stars, and it's nearest the Crater and Hydra constellations.

During this time, the skies were lit with stars and the moon's beams visible. No rain or clouds were in sight, and we were upon a rooftop with our telescope. Looking at this constellation, my friend and I saw what appeared to be a shooting star. What was strange was that no shooting stars were predicted that night. To the naked eye, I saw wisps of about 2-3 shooting stars following that. Traveling at fast speeds, it was hard to take a quick gimpse. The first passed on by within seconds, but a few minutes/seconds later...a second came, following with a third about two minutes later. They had long tails and scratched the sky, but they looked like fast moving dots or bugs floating around near the Corvus.

As we viewed in our telescope, at it's maximum view, the shootings stars revealed something else. As we took note of the third, before it descended, we saw a kite like figure. The tail was long and somewhat zig-zagged, so we noted, with different beams of lights scathered. Some parts looked brighter and others darker from what we see. The front was a chunky, glowed diamond rock with bits missing. A normal shooting star wouldn't inherit such a look.

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

I really can't say, as I wasn't close enough to investigate. A mere telescope can't reveal if any metals, steels, woods, or gases were put into effort. As far as I saw, it looked like a natural selection and maybe gray for a metal like substances - but the raw eye of the telescope couldn't decipher the materials constructed in the craft.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Ever since I was younger I was involved with space. I liked looking at the stars with my parents and even had my room decorated in different constellation belts and what not. I've read somewhat about UFOS, and science fictional things. But honestly, before this sighting, I felt as if the existance of UFOs could be possible, but not something likely to appear soon. As our education to space is limited to guesses and obeservations, I felt a great deal was to be learned. We don't know what is out there, or if there are any advanced civilizations exist. Evidence from Saturn's moon, Titan, looks as if it could support life. Of course, because we don't know, I always felt as if something was possible. I felt as if steel wasn't the strongest metal or material to endure physical hardships...what if there's another element stronger - that makes steel and iron look relatively weak? With that, I felt it was possible but didn't expect any further information to be confirmed soon.
