Occurred : 4/20/2009 10:20 (Entered as : 04/20/09 10:20) Reported: 4/21/2009 8:33:36 PM 20:33 Posted: 5/12/2009 Location: Greenwich Township, OH Shape: Cylinder Duration: 45 seconds Characteristics: There was an aura or haze around the object
Thought it was a balloon. The object took off straight up in the air as I approached, then darted North. Walking out in farm corn field, I saw what I thought was a shiny balloon falling. As I continued to walk and watch, I realized it was not a balloon. It was much too shiny for a balloon. Cylinder like, approx 4.5 feet long and 1-1.5 feet in dia. No sound, just shiny. The Object came down slowly. I was about 25 feet away. I continued to walk, as I was going to get my dog out of the fence row. As I approached, the object darted straight up in the air, almost to the clouds. (the clouds were a little lower than usual on that day). The object then took off extremely fast in the northern direction and was out of my sight in 3-4 seconds. Amazing, I don’t think it was a balloon and no wind could have carried an object like that as quickly as it vanished and as straight up as it went. It’s almost like it didn’t know I was there, spotted me and took off. Thanks for your site.
