12-100

Synopsis: On 03 Jan 99, at 1900 hours, the witness of this investigation saw a UFO hovering over the mountains near his home. According to the witness, the UFO was a “saucer that evaporated”.

Evidence Submitted: Video

Initial Action: Case opened as an AN1.

Investigation and Findings:  During the interview, the witness claimed to have seen the UFO hovering just above Lockhart Mountain. A fusion of weather, terrain, and astronomical data, to include witness interview, highly suggest the object observed by the witness was the planet Venus. The camcorder used by the witness would have likely forced the camera’s optics to focus in and out – giving it the illusion that the object was glowing and morphing. Additionally, the shifting of colors is likely due to atmospheric scintillation.

Object Details: Venus

Synopsis: On 08 Aug 2011, at 2300 hours, WITNESS was enjoying a campfire with her family, about a mile and half south of the lakeshore in Willowick, Ohio.  Gazing up at the stars, WITNESS saw what she thought was plane, but noticed an additional object flying with it, below, and to the side.  WITNESS later checked to see if it might have been the ISS or satellites over the area at the time, but found no reports of it.  WITNESS was with other family members who saw the same objects: her husband, her sister, and her sister’s boyfriend.  Her aunt, who was not a witness but heard the story from WITNESS, suggested it may have been an aerial re-fueling mission.  In a subsequent e-mail, WITNESS stated that the objects were above Lake Erie, and headed West/Northwest at commercial plane height, but not so high as to leave a vapor trail.  The lights did not blink.  The one on top was larger.  WITNESS remembered that they couldn’t make out anything around the lights, even using binoculars.  They saw no craft, just the 2 lights, which did not alter course, had no sudden movements across the sky, but were moving in a very smooth, steady path.

Evidence Submitted: Rendering/sketch.
