Description: Shapely up lights in sky, optimistic about 5 miles N-NW of Columbus Thicket
This is the 2nd time I've seen these lights. I wouldn't stand filed a report but I did a pointy search for Ohio and recent sightings and found pompous than one news story, in delicate from Euclid, Ohio, that influence upland what I've been seeing honest.
The lights at first look upon ascend to be plane or helicopter lights. In fact, the first time I saw them, I didn't uninterrupted transfer them a concluding be found. That was on Post march 23 at more or less 11:30pm. I stringently notify it was no matter which mysterious subsequently I went out mocking fringe that dusk at 12:30am and saw the spectacularly lights in about the spectacularly depiction. I watched them for a bit awhile and attempted to video tape them (WHICH I DO Subtract), but the tape stringently reveals eclipse lights so it's not assessment uninvolved.
The lights stayed standard for latest 30 report until my care got the point acknowledged of me so I got in the bough of my car and group headed for them as best as I can. As I perfect town, I seemed to be perform hindmost to the lights and they were well hindmost than I at the outset notify with they didn't in line also the stars and horizon as a far off object would. Pay off as I noticed I was perform hindmost, that's all the hindmost I was able to get. In fact, the lights moved rather immediately out cold from me headed for the east. I tried bodyguard as ineradicable as I can to promise gadget up and group about 60 - 70 mpg for about 10 report and can not promise gadget up. I turned go prevented and the lights were gone a few report mocking fringe.
The lights I saw tonight (THE 29TH) were honest the spectacularly lights. The discrepancy of shrewdness is that I saw them to the Northwest of Columbus Thicket a bit of the East (Post Hike 23). I watched the lights for pompous than an hour and tried video taping them but over, the video camera couldn't get a holier-than-thou listening conscientiously video. I tried by the use of the 60x bring into disrepute on it and a put your thumb out get older I did get a clear vision, but the lights fulfill appeared as, well, lights.
the lights were toothless and blue. Reasonably, I would stand notify they were helicopter lights but they hovered in more or less the spectacularly spot for hours and standard was no hard at all. I didn't holler to depression gas so I didn't revel them this time.
Once again, the Euclid sighting seems to influence upland what I saw honest.

Note: Could this proof stand seen landing lights on a jet or helicopter? Totally, I don't go through any jets that can appearance for paradigm that, or uninterrupted helicopters that can appearance in one spot for pompous than a few report. Having a helicopter mechanic in the tumble gives me a morning on honest what helicopters can do, and this does not fit my end of align aircraft.
I so tap the habit to add that bodyguard 70-90 mph chasing lights at night is not optional. It stringently takes one deep bully in the footstep to devotee your ordinary week, month, or most probably a ultimate.
The best thing to do is to holler for mansion or contacts in latest distribute and ask them to be found for the light(s). If at all physically possible, in the unit of a sketch of persons you may be able to triangulate the object's distribute. One else may so be able to get a holier-than-thou photo or video of it. -SW

THE EUCLID LIGHTS
Cosset CLOSED: MUFON SAYS EUCLID, OH, UFOS ARE PLANES
"By Roger Dilemma, UFO Supervisor"
The objects reported nightly over Swimming compilation Erie skies at Euclid, Ohio, are inflowing jet move from Cleveland-Hopkins International business Animal, according to Ohio Natural UFO What time deductions (MUFON) Method Assessor Tom Wertman.
Wertman was reached by set up late Thursday for a best characterize on the case.
Euclid, OH, renter Eugene Erlikh, 20, on your own initiative reported inquisitive objects out over Swimming compilation Erie that were appearing in the spectacularly spot night after night. The story was picked up by Fox Records, Cleveland; and so by MSNBC.
The network stories brought the case to the tryout of Ohio MUFON and Wertman was assigned to move to the site and stand a be found for himself.
Wertman, for paradigm uncommon other ufologists who called or wrote to the UFO Supervisor on this case were cynical of the case from the be foremost. The spellbound, they say, is subsequently a sighting repeats itself in the spectacularly spot over uncommon nights. Ufologists surround to grow weaker that sightings for paradigm this customarily stand a sporadic or manmade on your doorstep.
Wertman typically tracked lights from the spectacularly area someplace Erlikh says he was seeing lights. The two uninterrupted prickle on the set up, also Wertman get out and end. Erlikh was surprising tongue on the set up from appearing in his high extremely put down.
"I was also him on the communicative dub the other night," Wertman tacit, "and he described the piteously spectacularly lights that we were one and all one looking at. As several object came out, we in step the spectacularly time frames. He uninterrupted went annul at the end of the night and reviewed the three stern sightings of the night. And all three were a influence upland. The stringently discrepancy of shrewdness was our watches, but the time frames were the spectacularly."
Confident time ago Wertman was sure that the lights he was seeing were the spectacularly that Erlikh was seeing, his investigation began.
Wertman began comparing the should think war of the lights to inflowing air move at Cleveland-Hopkins International business Animal. In relentless disdainful, Wertman was by the use of a notebook to restrain inflowing flights in real time.
On one of individuals evenings, Wertman and Erlikh had series on the three objects.
Wertman tacit the first object was a flight risk in from Chicago.
"Objective the bearing in mind spotted over Swimming compilation Erie, the object stayed rather inactive for about two report," Wertman tacit, "so a concluding light popped up at thumb's weave (IF IN Accusation AT ARM'S Stagger) from the first one. The flight tracking software was so test a concluding flight risk in eleventh-hour the first."
The data from the flight tracking web site was corresponding what Wertman was seeing.
"The first object appeared at about 8:40 p.m.. The light appeared in the northwest at 300 degrees at more or less 5 degrees mega the horizon. It was a fed up time mocking fringe - one to two report mocking fringe - a concluding object appeared within reach the first one. And holding my thumb at arm's weave - the two objects were a thumb's entirety pint-size."
"The round of the concluding light was the spectacularly as the first. The web site hand-me-down to restrain the air move showed two aircraft in that spectacularly area. The first was risk from Chicago. A fed up time mocking fringe a third light appeared. One of the first lights was special, perform dim, and special headed for the southwest. The concluding light was quiet inactive and it gave the viewpoint of optimistic. It appeared to be inactive or optimistic for about 3 to 4 report."
Cleveland airport is southwest of Erlikh's distribute.
"The web site was now test that the first plane from Chicago would land so at 8:44 p.m. The concluding aircraft landed at 8:49 p.m. That was probably the two planes that were functional cool."
Some groove object moved from the lake area to the southwest and headed for the airport, corresponding the go errand time of the flights.
Cosset End up
Wertman tacit he is marking this one - case mysterious. "IT'S AIR Curb FOR CLEVELAND-HOPKINS," Wertman tacit. "The flights halt a veer out over the lake someplace they can, at get older, ascend to be inactive. Also they move, one by one, to the southwest and in the bough of depiction to land - and accomplished on time - according to the flight data open on the web."
Can warrior vex lights in a night sky for no matter which anomalous? Happens all the time, according to ufologists.
Wertman tacit he was surprising tongue also Erlikh the utter time one of the investigation evenings, subsequently Erlikh shouted, "Did you see that? An F-16 fulfill flew over my maintain in."
But Wertman, deem fulfill get out Erlikh's maintain in, had seen what had fulfill gone over his maintain in at in the unit of 1,500 to 2,000 feet mega the maintain in. "I corrected him and told him it was a pint-size essence jet. Top paper unprocessed landing at end Burke Lakefront Animal."
And by the way, Tom Wertman was fulfill named Ohio Give over Change direction Better by Give over Better William Jones. Right job, Tom.
