Ohio-Unknown Objects Sighted
UFO On Friday, August 17, 2007, I went to close the back sliding doors that opened onto the second story deck and saw a very bright white flash in the NNW sky about 45 degrees up from the horizon. Knowing that meteor showers had been going on I thought I had seen the last flash of one and I looked around the sky for others and saw another one of equal intensity due North opposite the first and then saw the first one flash again. It hadn't moved.

The sky was clear and I saw other flashes of white lights of varying lesser intensity between the two brightest ones none higher than the two brightest ones. Then I remembered that the meteors would be in a different direction. My next thought was that the flashes were from jets but wondered why so many would be taking off from Hopkins Airport, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, which is about 30 miles West of my location. Not possible.

The one due NNW flashed again and it hadn't moved from it's original position and as I watched the sky the others continued to flash, not moving from their original positions. I tired to count how many but it was difficult because there was a jet flying across the area, identifiable because it was a weaker light with a tinge of color and moved in a steady direction from West to East while the others remained stationary and were a clear white.

There were at least five or six dimmer flashes of varying intensity between the two very bright ones on the outer edges of the cluster. Around one I could discern a faint cluster of very dim lights in the shape of a kite with a small tail. I knew I was seeing something extraordinary and continued to watch for about 15 minutes trying to exact the timing of the flashes but there was none that I could note nor could I see a pattern of the layout of the lights.

It was as though they were signaling to each other but there was no rhythm to the signals and as I watched the flashes came quicker and quicker and then started to fade out one by one until they were all gone. Did I see UFOs?
