| Description | On 11/08/12 at 7 pm, while driving near Akron, Ohio, the witness and his sister saw a very bright blue/white light in the distance. As they approached an open cornfield, they observed a large black triangle hovering silently and motionless, only about 2-3 semi trucks away. After less than a minute, the craft began to swivel and ascend, eventually disappearing at high speed. Both witnesses were scared and noticed sores on their right nostril and behind the right ear afterward. |

| Additional Info | The Witness provided answers to the following questions during a follow-up communication: Q: Size: What would you estimate the size was, based on the estimated distance of a few semi trucks away? A: “It was roughly the size of a typical passenger jetliner, only triangular in shape.” Q: Swivel: Could you elaborate, if possible, a bit on this motion as the craft began to leave? A: “It was ‘wobbly’ or ‘shakey’ (almost like it was trying to stabilize but couldn’t for a brief moment.” Q: Departure: When you said it “flipped sideways”, can you elaborate (if possible) about this maneuver? A: “It went from completely horizontal to vertical in less than a second, then it took off.” Q: Health Effects: Regarding the sores you and your sister said appeared on the same side of your bodies that the craft had been, were there any other physical effects (headaches, fatigue, etc) that either of you experienced during or after the sighting? A: “Not that we were aware of. Our adrenaline overpowered any other feeling we may have had, except fear. And honestly I’m not saying the craft caused this, but it was an incredible coincidence as we have never had health issues like that, and haven’t since. I would also like to point out, Wright Patterson Air Force Base is a few hours southwest of where we were. |
