Reported: 2022-08-15 10:59 Pacific
Duration: 10 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: West Chester, OH, USA
Location details: Visible from roundabout at bottom of Eagle Ridge Dr.

Shape: Cross

Saw large white cross-shaped craft drifting north. Elevation near clouds. After viewing for a few seconds, the object vanished.

While driving onto Eagle Ridge Drive from Muhlhauser Rd at roughly 1:25 pm on 8/15/22, I noticed a white, Cross shaped object floating near the cloud line (although not directly near any visible clouds). After observing the object seemingly drifting north for a few seconds, the object vanished into thin air. I moved my head and glasses while in the car to make sure the object was not just glare, and the object appeared too large and too high up to be a balloon (if my height estimate was correct, it would be roughly house-sized, although this was hard to judge based on the duration of time I saw it, as well as the lack of any additional reference points). The object also appeared to be too “solid” to have been a cloud, and I don’t know of any birds or aircraft that just vanish from sight instantly. I have never seen anything like this before in my life, and had I not been driving at the time, I would have attempted to get a picture/video, although once home, I drew a rough sketch for reference.
