- UFO SIGHTING
- Lancaster, OH (Fairfield County)
- Saturday, August 28, 2004 - 7:30 P.M.

- SUMMARY
-
- By E-mail advisement, a 34-year old resident of Lancaster,
Ohio has reported a UFO sighting by 3-witnesses. The claimant, a 36-year
old friend and his 17-year old son observed the object before a thunderstorm
hit the area around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 28, 2004, they observed
an unusual object in the skies directly over the city of Lancaster, Ohio.
-
- "This may sound nuts," the witness wrote, "but
right before the storm hit at around 7:30 P.M, I saw something right over
the city of Lancaster, no lights at all.
-
- "It looked like a "V" but it did not move
up or down, but it did drift from North-East to South-East, AGAINST the
wind, before coming to a stop, seeming to stay in place. It was a VERY
dark shape.
-
- "At first I thought it was a parachute, but who
in their right mind would jump with a thunder storm in their face? This
object made NO sound at all, and I watched it for about 7 to 8 minutes."
-
- The 34-year old individual reporting the sighting is
married with a 14-year old son and worked as an electrical contractor for
10-years included his full name (which is not divulged in this report,
contact info on-file - KY), and also added that the object: "looked
at times like it would invert, looking like a rectangle during the rotation,
and then look like an upside down "V".
-
- Through 3 question and answer E-mail sessions with the
witness, he said that he was standing on West 5th Avenue and looking east,
directly over Lancaster when watching the unusual object. He lost sight
of it when the clouds 'overtook it' and openly inquired if this object
were a balloon, how it did not move with the wind? The claimant also felt
that if this object were somehow tethered, it must have been situated at
Anchor Hocking Glass Factory on about a 1,000 feet of rope.
-
- The witness was so impressed by the sighting that around
9:30 or 10:00 p.m. of Saturday, August 28, he contacted two law enforcement
agencies; The Lancaster City Police and The Fairfield County Sheriff's
Office. Neither agency could supply additional information and had received
no reports. The witness also took the step of contacting the Fairfield
County Airport in Lancaster, Ohio by E-mail, inquiring if they might have
information for him about tethered balloons over this location. He has
not yet received a reply from the airport.
-
- "I was thinking about the best way to describe this,
when it hit me," he said. "If you have a flip open cell phone,
open it up until it forms a 'V' when looking at it from the side. Now
rotate it , so that the face of it is facing you, and imagine you cant
see the depth of the 'V', just the outline. There is the rectangle. Now
rotate it all the way down until it looks like an upside down 'V.'
