2009-09-05 - Monroe, OH - Light

My wife and I were driving East on the SE side of Monroe near the Lebanon Correctional Institute (LCI). As I looked out my window (drivers side) I saw approximately five lights in the sky. They seemed to be moving very slowly to the south. From our perspective they seemed to be over LCI.

We pulled over on the side of the road and rolled the window down. The various lights would fade out and then fade back in. The whole thing was very similar to the “Phoenix Lights”, except the lights were not in a straight line. The light on the bottom of the group seemed to have sparks or something being ejected from the rear (side opposite the direction of travel), although it was not dramatically so and didn’t seem to show on any of the others.

All of the lights eventually faded out and the event was over. The entire thing lasted about a minute, but I don’t know how long the lights were visible before we saw them. The car in front of us has pulled over earlier, but I didn’t know why. He must have seen them before me. A lot of cars leaving the Cincinnati Outlet Mall should have been in a great position to see the event as well.
