NUFORC Sighting 39542

Occurred: 2004-09-28 19:30 Local
Reported: 2004-09-29 04:20 Pacific
Duration: 3-5 minutes
No of observers: 0

Location: Wooster/Mansfield (half-way between), OH, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Driving due West toward Mansfield from Wooster, Ohio on US route 30, I noticed an intense RED light straight ahead, at an altitude somewhere around 3000 feet, which disappeared behind a cloud, and never reappeared.

A few seconds later, another intense RED light appeared right behind the first one, and disappeared behind the same cloud.

A few seconds later, another intense light, this one farther north, and farther away, appeared for a few seconds, and disappeared.

A few seconds later, almost directly overhead, ANOTHER INTENSE red light appeared, motionless, for a few seconds, then disappeared.

These lights continued to appear and disappear for 3 to 5 minutes, randomly, all over the sky, and I lost count of them after 10.

They made no noise, and only a couple of them appeared to move.

There WAS a jet airliner flying southwest in the vacinity, so I was able to get some perspective of altitude, speed, and color, but the airliner appeared oblivious to the lights.
