National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 4/17/1966 05:00 (Entered as : 04/17/1966 5:00 AM) Reported: 3/9/2022 5:55:53 AM 05:55 Posted: 4/22/2022 Location: Atwater, OH Shape: Cigar Duration: hours Characteristics: There were lights on the object, The object emitted beams, The object changed color, The object made a sound, Entities were seen
This is known as 'Portage County UFO Chase'. It went right over me. This so-called UFO and its sister UFOs are common here. It started on the edge of Akron on its way to Philadelphia. I watched it appear to climb thousands of feet in the air and come back down farther along the road. I watched it change color from brown to gray and back. I watched it change shape from circular to oval and back. I was illuminated in the bright light shining down. Many of us have encountered this over and over. No matter how ludicrous believers stretch it to be, it's just everyday science. Although the hype is basically true, none of it is abnormal nor extraterrestrial; for example the humming sound is normal, not unusual. Many have debunked this over and over. No, it's not Venus. Provided one of them is nearby at the moment, come on over and I can arrange for you to see the source, which will explain a lot. Weather reports explain a lot. The main explanation is that believers want to believe and make adjustments to the simple reality of what actually happened. Pilots have not owned up due to FAA violations they would rather forget.
