Subject: 2 small round UFO’s sighted When: near end of summer & start of fall 2007 Where: Mansfield, Ohio While sitting with my cat at N.W. corner of house, I looked up to notice a “swarm” of dragonflies all around a “ball” floating above that corner of the house.

I moved slightly to block the sun’s glare with the gutter, and had a clear view from 8’ to 10’ away of what looked like a metal ball - solid, perfectly round & smooth and the size of a baseball.

It started moving slowly to my left with the dragonflies moving with it.

I tried to rationalize what I am seeing as a bubble or seed pod - but it was not a fuzzy outline - but a solid perfectly round ball.

I looked around for anything else in the sky, but don’t see anything.

Continuing to watch the object, a 2nd ball - identical to the first (but with no dragonflies) moved slowly into view on the same track and height reducing the distance between the two until just above me - then it went straight up vertical from horizontal at a right angle increasing speed slightly (maybe x 2) as the first object continued on same track & height.

I was astonished that I had seen something that shouldn’t be there.

Since I had observed this for maybe a full minute and so close, I didn’t run to the front of the house to get another look as I had already seen it very clearly and didn’t really want to draw attention to myself.
