Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: West Chester, OH, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

At around 10:30 PM, we saw an aircraft as a pinpoint of solid red light that eventually oscillated to blue and then back to red. It was mostly a solid red light that did not flash. It remained stationary in the sky at about a 75 degree angle off the horizon then it would rush back and forth from left to right then up and down a short distance then settle back into a stationary position. This pattern of movement, then the cessation of movement, lasted about twenty minutes. It came closer to us before it slowly dropped straight down behind the line of trees ahead of our location. I saw the solid red light through the trees as it seemed to continue toward the ground.

This occurred along side I-75 to the north and slightly east of the highway. We were on the patio of our house when we noticed this strange light and it’s odd behavior. three people watched this craft. We could not hear anything although we live next to the highway and that could prevent any sound from reaching us.

At any time there are many airplanes visible in the sky. This was not a conventional airplane. Wright Pat AFB is about 50 miles north of us and we do see and hear military craft overhead occasionally.

The craft likely had at least two separate lights. When the blue light came on the red light would go off.

The blue light would remain solid for a while then switch to the red light. At a couple of points, the lights would flash back and forth more rapidly, then remain solid again.
