Craft hovers over our house in Newark Ohio across from the OSU Newark campus.

This event took place when I was 10 and my Grandparents have passed so the date is approximate. There were other reports on the event, but I have not located them yet. The event took place in Newark Ohio accross the street from the OSU newark campus. My Grandmother had gone to her room to change for bed. A very bright light in the sky caught her attention. Grandma watched the light for a few minutes and suddenly the light came right at the house. I remember hearing Grandma scream. My Grandfather, my Mother and I ran to her room. She was staring out the window and told us to look. There was a huge craft hovering over our house. We were stunned. Eventually the craft slowly started to drift to the back of the house. We ran out the back door and watched the craft slowly move over our yard over the tree tops. This thing was as big as many houses, made no noise, had lights around the edge and it was so close we felt you could have thrown a baseball and hit it. We are no longer doubters. We didn't see a flash, a blur, a light, we saw the craft up close and personal. I remember there were other sittings reported the next day but I have not been able to locate them on the internet yet. I am heading to the Libray soon to see if it was reported in the Advocate the next day. I believe it was and by many. Still researching!!! I want to get the exact date and time...I will correct it when I get the info.



NUFORC Note:

Date is approximate. PD
