Full Description & Details

On October 18th 1973, My mother, father, half-brother and half-sister, where driving down Stillwell-Beckett rd, heading west on the outskirts of Hamilton, Ohio.

At around 10pm, my mother and father noticed a large Cigar-Shaped object half the size of a football field hovering mabey 5ft above some telephone wires & pole on the left side of the old country road.

My mother and father said look kids "Its a Blimp!" Where getting closer lets take a look at it.

They approched the large object and parked right in front of it, My father and mother as they got closer realized that this was no-blimp, as it was not moving.

The object was mabey 20ft into a field off the side of the road, and 5ft above a telephone pole & wires just stting there hovering making no-sound at all.

My mother and father described the object as being long-like a cigar, and having a little row of windows around the top, bieng grey/gun metal, and just making a showdow against the night sky, the object at this time had (2) amber red lights one on each end of the object that "bobbed" up and down like a fishing bobber'.

My mother wanted a closer look and got out of the car, and started running towards a fence that was directally below the object to try to get a look up undrneath it, as she ran torwards the object with my father standing out of the car looking up at it, and my half brother of mabey 12 yrs old trying to hide under the seat, and my half sister crying.

The object making ot a sound went from 0 speed to leaving a steak in the sky as it took off in a blink of an eye.

The first time I heard this story was from my father when I was 12-13, My mother and father had gotten a divorce and were seperated, I immeaditaly casked my mother about the incident, and she told me the exact same story.

My family had been broken up, and my mother did not talk to my half brother or sister in years as they did not get along, but their stories matched....weird... after all those years...

My father had mentioned on the next morning hearing this event in the news and recalls the UFO leaving a streak in the sky heading NE towards Dayton/Colubus area.

The story was told individually by each of my family members sepretaly years, and years after it had happened and every detail matched even down to the little row of windows, and amber-redish bobbing lights.

This story from my family has interested me for many years, and every time I drive down that old country road with my father, he says' "This is where it happened."

I asked my parents why did they not tell anyone? and they replied." "Do you know how crazy that story sounds." We know what we saw and we know the truth." That's all that matters.

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

This object was definetaly made by someone or something.
