NUFORC Sighting 70689

Occurred: 2009-06-21 22:30 Local
Reported: 2009-06-24 13:25 Pacific
Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 5

Location: Brook Park, OH, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Electrical or magnetic effects

Slowly moving lights that stopped, hovered, then went out. Near large electric towers and power lines.

2 UFO's sighted around 10:30 PM EDT, a second sighting of one object at around 10:45 PM EDT , June 21, 2009.

The 1st 2 appeared in the south with slow movement to the north. They then moved slowly to the southwest about 10 degrees and stopped, hovering just above the trees. At this point it got serious as the previous thought of a helicopter formation which I have seen here before wasn't working. and there was no sound at all. I can hear the helicopters coming before I see them usually.

They then just blinked out like someone sliding a dimmer switch to off. That was the No Way is this happening moment. They were about 24 degrees above the horizon.

Very bright yellowish color. Appeared to be the same brightness as a streetlight at 600 feet away. These were seen a moment before me by the neighbors(4 people) out on their pool deck about 6 feet higher up than me.

The second sighting was only me, as everyone had gone in for the evening, was south moving southwest again at about 20 degrees. They just seem to suddenly appear.

I was able to see this object in the 8 x 50 finder scope.

Bright bluish or greenish diamond shaped mesh pattern lights 3 or 4 surrounding an intense bright center light source. The object diameter appeared to be the same size as a full moon in the finder. Lost it in the trees. They don't seem to be very big, maybe about 16-20 feet in size. Couldn't determine any particular shape.

I kept trying to get it in the view of main scope, moving to fast for that.

During the event I was setting up the LX telescope in the back yard and had to off/on the system 3-4 times and re-enter the keypad info as the Go-To function would not go to the right part of the sky, it was off 10 degrees or so. Even with the Hi precision turned on it was off a few degrees. All Ok after they left. This occurred about 30 minutes before we saw the objects. But they could have been there behind the trees and power lines going to the towers run by my back yard about 250 feet away.

Not sure yet what was going on with that but suspect a connection.

Both sightings appeared to be over 2 high voltage electrical twin towers about 700 feet away. More likely the feeder wires that come off of these towers a head toward the west.

The electric towers are about 125 feet high.

Looks like these objects were about 600 to 800 feet away from me. The appeared to be hovering at about 200-300 feet above the towers and wires.

I can hear the helicopters coming before I see them usually.

They then just blinked out like someone sliding a dimmer switch to off. That was the No Way is this happening moment. They were about 24 degrees above the horizon.

Very bright yellowish(make this orange) color. Appeared to be the same brightness as a streetlight at 600 feet away. These were seen a moment before me by the neighbors(4 people) out on their pool deck about 6 feet higher up than me.

The second sighting was only me, as everyone had gone in for the evening, was south moving southwest again at about 20 degrees. They just seem to suddenly appear.
(after thinking about it they seemed to suddenly appear right over the towers when 1st seen)

I was able to see this object in the 8x50 finder scope. Later realized that in the excitement I forgot the finder scope view is upside down. Drawing below is right side up.

Bright bluish or greenish diamond shaped mesh pattern lights( 3 or 4- just one intense light in front of diamond shaped fin shape- surrounding an intense bright center light source.) The object diameter appeared to be the same size as a full moon in the finder. Lost it in the trees. They don't seem to be very big, maybe about 16-20 feet in size. Couldn't determine any particular shape.

I kept trying to get it in the view of main scope, moving to fast for that.

But they could have been there behind the trees and power lines going to the towers run by my back yard about 250 feet away.

Not sure yet what was going on with that but suspect a connection.

Both sightings appeared to be over 2 high voltage electrical twin towers about 700 feet away-better measurement show towers at 965 feet from me. More likely the feeder wires that come off of these towers a head toward the west.

The electric towers are about 125 feet high.

Looks like these objects were about 600 to 800 feet away from me-better measurement show distance from me at 1026-1056 feet. The appeared to be hovering at about 200-300 feet above the towers and wires-updated numbers are 350-430 feet altitude.
