Cone shaped UFO with dents and lights heard and sighted low over an Ohio home in 1973

During the summer of 1973, during the afternoon and in daylight. An upright cone shaped, triangular craft was heard, with a very loud rocket type sound. It was heard by 1 child in a home, and viewed by 2 children playing outside. The children stated it was "Apollo" coming down over the house. The cone shaped craft was dented and had lights, it also had 3 landing legs with pods on the bottom. The craft was descending over a home. The sound emitted was very loud, and similar to a rocket engine blast.

The other child came outside, but the craft rose quickly and was only a small speck that disappeared in the clouds. The craft was descibed as metalic with multi-colored lights along its cone shaped length. There was no smell of rocket fuel or exhaust, and there was no alteration to the structure of the roof or vegetation.

This incident took place in Poland Township, Ohio, which is 65 miles from NASA Cleveland and appx 4-5 hrs from Dayton, Wright Patterson AFB. No visible smoke was left as the craft departed upwards into the clouds in a Southern direction.
