Case 41

Date: 1996-07-10
Location: OH, US
Brief Description: Star like object changing colors red to blue to white to yellow
Full Description: My Girlfriend & I were sitting in lawn chairs, on a very clear night, no wind, about 85 degrees temp. We were on a big grass levee that seperated two 200 acre corn fields. We were in the country, so no city lights. We were star gazing & finding constalations. The exact postion was Black RUN ROAD & SHOEMAKER LANE. The object was just North of U.S.ROUTE 50.

We were facing north (the levee runs north to south) A bright object shot up from behind a hill that was in the distance about a mile away (the hill was probably 400 feet high). The object was 1000 feet above the hill "just guessing"....

It reminded me of a shooting star going from the ground up. Then it stopped above the hill 1000 feet, guessing. It then, began to, one way we could describe it, was, "Scribbling" The ball of light that was changing colors & was "Scribbling" in a a tight pattern & it left a short lived tracer behind it as it quickly moved.
It looked like scribbling an ink pen on paper in a tight pattern, very quickly. It made no noise.
It was very fast. It would do the "scribbling motion for 10 minutes or less and then shoot in a straight line for a short distance about 500 feet or so and start the same irratic "scribbling" movement.
It would shoot in a straight line again and then "scribble" & repeat that over and over.

We watched it for 2 1/2 hours.
We didn't have any cameras or cell phones. Finally we around 2:30am we drove home. It was still there when we left.
