Appearance / Description of Object(s)

THE OBJECTS WERE CIRCULAR AND A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT. TO MY BEST RECOLECTION THEY SEEMED TO BE LARGE. MAYBE FIFTY OR SIXTY FEET IN DIAMETER.(KEEP IN MIND I AM RECALLING AN EVENT THAT I SAW AS A YOUNG BOY) THE LIGHT WAS BRILLIANT WHITE. THEY WERE IN A VEE FORMATION.

Size of Object(s)

I WOULD SAY THAT THE RELATIVE SIZE WOULD BE THE PALM OF MY HAND. THE ACTUAL SIZE IS A GUESS. FIFTY TO SIXTY FEET. AS FAR AS HEIGHT GOES I WOULD HAVE TO GUESS BETWEEN 12 TO 15 FEET HIGH.

Description of Area / Surroundings

THE AREA WAS RURAL. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WAS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. I DO REMEMBER THAT WE WERE IN THE COUNTRY AS MY AUNT AND UNCLE LIVED ON A SMALL FARM. I CAN'T RECALL THE NAME OF THE TOWNSHIP BUT IT WAS NE OF YOUNGSTOWN OHIO

Full Description & Details

WE WERE RETURNING FROM A VISIT TO MY AUNT AND UNCLE WHO LIVED IN RURAL NE OHIO. IT WAS EITHER LATE FALL OR EARLY WINTER AS THE WEATHER WAS COLD. I USED TO LIE IN THE REAR WINDOW OF MY PARENTS CAR, RIDING THERE WHERE I COULD SEE OUT, AND USUALLY ON MY BACK. THIS PARTICLUR EVENING, AROUND I WOULD SAY BETWEEN SEVEN AND NINE O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING, I WAS IN THE REAR WINDOW WATCHING THE SCATTERED CLOUDS. THERE WAS NO MOON VISIBLE TO ME THAT NIGHT. AS I WAS WATCHING THE CLOUDS I SUDDENLY SAW A VEE FORMATION OF APPROX. SEVEN BRIGHT WHITE DISKS. THEY WERE VISIBLE BETWEEN THE CLOUDS. WHEN I FIRST SAW THEM THEY SUDDENLY APPEARED FROM BEHIND A CLOUD. I WATCHED THEM FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEARED AGAIN BEHIND ANOTHER CLOUD. MY FIRST REACTION WAS SURPRIZE. THEN THEY APPEARED AGAIN BETWEEN THE CLOUDS. I COULD SEE THEM BETTER THIS TIME AS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE CLOUDS WAS GREATER. THEY APPEARED TO BE COMPLETELY CIRCULAR, LARGE, AND THEY WERE A VERY BRIGHT WHITE COLOR. I WAS STARING AT THEM AND I CALLED TO MY OLDER BROTHER TO LOOK AT THEM. HE WAS SLOW TO RESPOND AND THEY DISAPPEARED BEHIND THE CLOUDS AGAIN. I NEVER SAW THEM AGAIN. SINCE THAT EXPERIENCE I HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN UFO RESEARCH. I WAS RELUCTANT TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE MY BROTHER AND PARENTS DID NOT BELEIVE IN UFO'S AND THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY JUST THE MOON. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT WAS THERE WERE AT LEAST SEVEN OF THEM. I HAVE SEEN OTHER STRANGE OBJECTS IN THE NIGHT SKIES SINCE THAT NIGHT. I HAVE SEEN SIX OBJECTS IN THE NIGHT SKY OVER THE YEARS. THE MOST MEMORABLE WAS THAT ONE IN OHIO, AND THE ONE THAT MY WIFE AND I SAW IN TENN. IN LATE 90, THAT FIRST SIGHTING HAS REMAINED WITH ME TO THIS DAY. I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT I SAW THAT NIGHT. ITS REALLY STRANGE THAT THIS FIRST SIGHTING HAS REMAINED SO VIVID IN MY MIND. I CAN RECALL THAT NIGHT WITH CRYSTAL CLAIRITY. SO, THAT'S MY STORY. I NEVER FOUND OUT IF ANYONE ELSE SAW WHAT I DID BECAUSE I NEVER SPOKE OF IT AFTER TELLING MY PARENTS AND BROTHER WHAT I SAW THAT NIGHT. I HOPE THAT THIS HELPS YOUR RESEARCH. I KNOW IT LEFT A MARK ON MY LIFE, I CAN'T CONFIRM WHAT I SAW, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT I AM TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THAT NIGHT. ITS SOMETHING THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET, OR KNOW FOR SURE WHAT I DID SEE. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT SOMEDAY WE WILL KNOW FOR SURE WHAT THOSE LIGHTS ARE.

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

NO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE BUT THEY WEREN'T ANYTHING NORMAL.

Witness Background

I MARRIED EARLY AND HAD A FAMILY SINCE I WAS IN MY EARLY TWENTIES. I DROVE LONG HAUL TRACTOR TRAILER FOR MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE. I BECAME DISABLED IN 1990 AND COULD NO LONGER WORK. WE LIVED IN TENN FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND THAT IS WHEN MY WIFE AND CHILDERN SAW THE LIGHTS IN THE NIGHT SKY. SO AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE IN OUR SKIES, NOT EVERYTHING HAS A NORMAL EXPLAINATION.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

PRIOR TO THE SIGHTING. I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT UFOS OR HAD ANY INTEREST IN THEM. FOLLOWING THE SIGHTING I WAS VERY INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT WHAT I SAW. I NEVER ACTUALLY TOOK AN INTEREST IN FINDING OUT ABOUT UFO'S UNTILL I WAS IN MY EARLY THIRTIES. THEN I STARTED TO READ ABOUT UFO'S AND WHEN I GOT MY FIRST PC I USED THE INTERNET TO READ MORE ABOUT THEM.

Other Comments

THE ONLY THING I WANT TO ADD IS THAT THIS SIGHTING MADE A MARK ON MY MIND. IT HAS REMAINED WITH ME THROUGH THE YEARS AS IF I HAD JUST SAW THEM. I CAN SEE THEM IN MY MINDS EYE JUST LIKE THAT NIGHT. I HAVE FELT THAT FOR SOME REASON I WAS SUPPOSED TO SEE THEM. THE FACT THAT I COULD NOT GET MY BROTHERS ATTENTION FAST ENOUGH HAS LEFT ME FEELING LIKE I IF I HAD A WITTNESS THEN I WOULD KNOW THAT WHAT I SAW WAS SPECIAL. BUT I WILL NEVER BE CONVINCED THAT WHAT I SAW WAS NORMAL.
