I went to the helipad in Red River Gorge national park to stargaze with my astronomy teacher and several members of the Cincinnati Astronomical Society.

After stargazing for a few hours we decided to go galaxy hunting with some of the larger telescopes. I noticed something very strange in my telescope while viewing the moon while the others were pointing their telescopes in another direction. I noticed something strange and alarming..it was a UFO.

It looked very much like an airplane but was dark grey and looked as if it had armor on it and it had far too many, what I'm guessing were, windows on 3 levels. There were also some flashing lights but I couldn't see them without the telescope. It was moving incredibly fast but there was no sound and before I knew it it was out of view..

I tried looking for it again and managed to see it and the strangest part of all was that it had to have been flying upside-down because it was as if I was looking at a plane, a very unusual plane for that matter, from above.

Another strange thing happened..one of the other astronomers was using an astronomy program on his lap top to move his telescope to certain astronomical bodies and when I saw this thing the program went crazy, sifting through dozens of star charts at a rapid pace then shutting down. How bizzare!

I was a little taken aback when I found this "A witness to a UFO sighting on October 13 in Trenton, OH submitted the drawing below." It looks so similar..but his depiction is on a much smaller scale.

Unfortunatley I was unable to keep whatever it was in view and I asked someone else to look for it..no one could find it.
