No of observers: 4

Location: Covington, KY, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail, Aircraft nearby

The object was brightly lit throughout the entirety of its body. It moved very slowly from the south of the area I lived in. I could take you to the exact house to this very day. It was "saucer" shaped. The light encompassing the object was an off white type. It left no trail or haze while moving initially. It finally came to a hover behind our house. At this point my father, mother and younger brother had come over to see the object. At that point a plane came toward the object flashing lights at the object in a "signal" pattern. As the plane neared the object it went black. That is, the object turned off the light surrounding itself and was not visible to us. Then as the plane passed through where the object had been the object reappeared below the plane and sped off in the opposite direction it had been traveling in. Again, this was south. It moved so incredibly fast, without any sound, that it left a light trail in the sky for a few seconds. There was never any report on the news or in local papers about this, and it bothers me to this day. There MUST be some documentation as to who the piolt of the plane was and who sent him up after the object. The plane came from the direction I now know to be the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
