On Sunday, March 20th, 2016, at approximately 11:20 am, I was leaving my house to take my usual exercise walk around the neighborhood. As I hit the sidewalk and began walking West, I looked up at the sky and saw several distinct points of light - which looked much like stars against the clear blue sky background. These points of light formed a large square. I viewed this with both the naked eye, and with my polarized sunglasses.

I quickly ran into the house to retrieve my binoculars, but by the time I returned - a minute or so later - nothing was there to be seen. I put away the binoculars and began my walk. A short distance down the street, I saw a single, bright point of light in the same area of the sky. This remained stationary until approximately 11:30 am, and I have not seen anything else as of the time of this report. I am mainly reporting this because I really hope to hear that someone else around the Cincinnati Tri-State witnessed the event. It is a s! unny day here, clear blue sky and I have never seen what appeared as a small constellation-like group of stars showing up in the daytime sky. Just before 11:30 a large airliner flew on a N-NW to S-SE path and would have appeared to have been between myself and the object I was seeing.
