8 Lights Near New Vienna
Witness 1 - 18 years old I live in a rural area of Ohio and this is definitely not a common occurrence.
I was driving home with my two younger brothers on the night of 10/29/09 and the time was approximately 8:45 pm. or 20:45 Eastern Time, and as I turned onto my street, I looked up in the sky and saw 8 spheres of light. I slammed on my breaks and just stared at them trying to figure out exactly what it was that I was looking at. I had never seen anything like it before in my entire life. It was hard to tell if the lights were one or eight different objects.
The lights were white with a yellow tint to them and were in a perfect line with one another. There were no distortions or imperfections to the spheres at all, only a small halo of light surrounding each one. They were spaced out evenly and had the appearance of having a curvature formation to them like a saucer or the such. They also were approximately 17 to 20 times greater in size than the largest star that was near the lights (in the night sky). The lights were approximately 45 degrees to the horizon in the southeast direction from my position where I was stopped in the road. I would say that the lights were about half a mile away from where I was. The lights were near my family's property and were a ways up in the sky too.
Then, just as suddenly as I had seen them, the lights started to go out one by one. There was a bit of rotation to them as they went out. I tried to see where they had gone, but there was nothing in the sky. The only visible objects were a couple of far-off airplanes, the moon, the stars, and clouds. There were no smoke trails as from a bottle-rocket or other firework product. There was absolutely nothing left after the lights disappeared.
I drove around on the back roads for about ten minutes looking for firework trails or an aircraft or anything to explain the situation. I also kept looking in the same spot where I had seen the lights, but nothing appeared there again. I finally went home and stood outside for around twenty minutes looking for anything that may be an answer to this phenomenon. I never saw the lights or anything that even resembled them again.
Witness 2 - 11 years old I saw a curve of 8 white lights in the south-eastern sky. Then they went out one by one evenly. Then, we drove down [our road]. We saw nothing that could have caused them. We drove down another road and didn't see anything else.
Witness 3 - 9 years old I saw 8 white balls of light in the sky. They went out one by one. It was about 8:45 at night. First there were 8, then 7, then 6, then etc., then there weren't any left.
